Abstract
High-valent iron porphyrin complexes have been suggested for the oxidized states of the peroxidases, 1 and similar intermediates have been implicated in the oxygen-transfer reactions of cytochrome P-4502 and the dioxygen reduction of cytochrome oxidase.3 An understanding of the redox chemistry mediated by these enzymes has been hampered by the install bility of these oxidized iron-heme intermediates and by the lack of simple chemical models for these reactive states. Synthetic examples of an oxoiron(IV) prophryin4 and an oxoiron(IV) porphyrin cation radical5 are now known; however, the thermal instability of each has prevented their isolation as pure solids. The periodic relationship of iron and ruthenium suggests that the latter could provide stable examples of oxidized metalloporphyrins.
