Fluorine-19 NMR solution measurements have been made for various phenyl-fluorinated iron porphyrin complexes. Large chemical shifts for phenyl fluorine signals of iron(III) and iron(II) are observed, and these signals are sensitive to electronic structure. The chemical shift differences in ortho-phenyl fluorine signals between high-spin ferric and low-spin ferric tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrins are approximately 40 ppm, whereas the differences are approximately 7 ppm between high- and low-spin states of ferrous tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin complexes. Analysis of fluorine-19 isotropic shifts for the iron(III) tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin using fluorine-19 NMR indicates there is a sizable contact contribution at the ortho-phenyl fluorine ring position. Large phenyl fluorine-19 NMR chemical shift values, which are sensitive to the oxidation and spin states, can be utilized for identification of the solution electronic structures of iron(III) and iron(II) porphyrin complexes.

Alkyliron(Ⅲ) porphyrins, n-butyliron(Ⅲ) tetraphenylporphyrin, (TPP)Fe-Bu and n-butyliron(Ⅲ) tetrakis-(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin, $(F_{20}TPP)Fe-Bu$ have been evaluated as suitable for olefin free-radical polymerization. Butyl radicals dissociated from n-butyliron(Ⅲ) porphyrin initiated the polymerization reaction, but the ratio of the propagation was low. The GCMS analysis of the reaction mixture of nbutyliron(Ⅲ) porphyrin and styrene has revealed several products containing two butyl groups, while traces of b-hydrogen-abstracted products were observed. The crystal structure of (TPP)Fe-Bu has been determined. The structure of the n-butyliron(Ⅲ) porphyrin reveals the compound containing five-coordinated iron with the average Fe-N distance of 1.973(1) Å and Fe-C of 2.030(2) Å. The iron atom is displaced by 0.137Å from a four nitrogen mean plane. Crystal system is triclinic, and space group is P-1.

Weakly coordinating anions show little affinity for binding to unfunctionalized iron(II) porphyrins. The electron-deficient 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphinatoiron(II) compound is utilized in this study to demonstrate solution coordination by chloride, bromide and acetate ions. The binding strength of anions to the iron(II) porphyrin is reflected by a systematic change in pyrrole proton chemical shift in $^1H$ NMR spectra; the pyrrole resonance moves downfield when the ${\sigma}$-donor ability of anions is decreased.
