The reaction of (octakis(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)tetraazaporphyrinato) manganese(III) acetate ((AcO)
MnTAP(p-t-BuC6H4)8) with 20-(4-pyridyl)-50-(2-pyridyl)-10-(3-pyridylmethyl)-pyrrolidino[30,40:1,2][60]
fullerene (Py3F) in toluene was studied by methods of chemical kinetics and UV, visible, IR and 1H NMR
spectroscopy. The interaction is found to result in the formation of 1:1 donor-acceptor complex whose
structure was determined. A negative value of a complex formation order with respect to Py3F was
established and explained. The kinetic equation can be used in the development of technology of metal
tetraazaporphyrin-fullerene dyad production.
