Transition series influence in RMN spectra

Metals of Transition series influence in proton RMN spectra

First of all, Greetings to everyone
My question is simple but a bit able to create confusion i can't explain myself right so I'm going to try...
The question is how can the fact of a metal being of the transition serie os periodic table or not influence the H¹ RMN spectra? What makes protons in a molecule near Ni more shielded and near Zn for example more unshield? i know that's something about the sigma donation and the transfer of electrons to $$\pi*$$ of the metal, if anyone can help me on this would be great i will give an example of what I'm talking about, i sintetize ZnTPP and NiTPP and from the spectra resulted in the images, i tryed but my bases on organometallic chemistry are a bit weak i would like to have some lights on this... as I'm confused of how can the transition metals shield more the protons of the porphyrin in this case.
my thanks antecipated for who answers this, i didn't put this on homework cause is a fact of the theory that wasn't well assimilated, there are some things i can't relate to this.

In general, the influence of transition metals on proton NMR spectra is due to the ligands that form coordination complexes with these metals. The metal-ligand bonds create an electron-rich environment around the metal, which can shield the protons in the molecules near it. This shielding effect can be seen in the NMR spectrum as a decrease in the chemical shift of the protons in the vicinity of the metal center. This is because the electron-rich environment reduces the electron-nucleus interaction, resulting in a lower magnetic field strength for the protons. In addition, the type of ligands used to bind to the metal can also influence the degree of shielding. For example, if the ligands are π-acceptor ligands, they can increase the electron density around the metal, leading to increased shielding of the protons. On the other hand, if the ligands are σ-donor ligands, they can reduce the electron density around the metal, leading to decreased shielding of the protons.

I can provide some insights into the influence of transition series elements on proton RMN spectra. The transition series elements, also known as transition metals, have a unique electronic structure that can significantly affect the chemical environment of nearby protons in a molecule.

One of the main factors that contribute to this influence is the ability of transition metals to donate electrons to the pi* orbitals of the molecule. This electron donation can lead to a shielding effect for the protons, making them less sensitive to the external magnetic field and resulting in a downfield shift in the RMN spectrum.

On the other hand, if the transition metal is not able to donate electrons to the pi* orbitals, the protons will experience a weaker shielding effect and appear more unshielded in the spectrum. This is often observed in molecules with zinc, which has a full d orbital and cannot donate electrons to the pi* orbitals.

In the case of ZnTPP and NiTPP, the difference in the shielding effect of protons can be attributed to the different electronic structures of the two metals. Nickel has an incomplete d orbital and can donate electrons to the pi* orbitals, resulting in a more shielded environment for the protons. On the other hand, zinc has a full d orbital and cannot donate electrons, leading to a weaker shielding effect.

In summary, the unique electronic structure of transition metals can influence the chemical environment of nearby protons and, therefore, their appearance in the RMN spectra. Further research and understanding of the electronic structure of transition metals can help in interpreting and predicting the effects on proton RMN spectra in various molecules.
