The perchloratoiron(III) complexes of a series of 2,6-disubstituted tetraphenylporphyrin ligands, where the 2,6-phenyl substituents were -H, -F, -Cl, -Br, or -OMe, as well as two 2,4,6-phenyl-substituted complexes,where the substituents were -Me and -OMe, have been investigated as a function of temperature by 1H NMRspectroscopy. Curvature in the 1/T dependence was evident in most cases. Forced linear extrapolation of thetemperature dependence observed over the range of the study yielded Curie plots that include negative slopeswith very large positive 1/T intercepts (Cl ~ Br > Me > H) to negative slope with near zero intercept (tri-OMe)to positive slope with very large negative intercept (F, di-OMe). The NMR results were combined with EPRspectroscopic data and curve-fitting procedures based on an expanded Curie law to arrive at a consistent overviewof the variety of temperature-dependence behaviors observed. This overview relies upon the premise that, inaddition to the ground state observed by EPR spectroscopy, one (or more) thermally accessible excited state(s)are populated to varying degrees over the temperature range of the NMR measurements. If only one excited stateis considered, the analysis is consistent with the ground state being a largely intermediate-spin state (S = 3/2) forthe majority of the complexes but a largely high-spin state (S = 5/2) for ((2,6-F2)4TPP)FeOClO3 and((2,6-(OMe)2)4TPP)FeOClO3.
