Reaction of dinitrogen tetroxide with octaethylhemin in dichloromethane: a meso-substitution reaction
Abstract
Octaethylhemin(I) reacts rapidly with N2O4 in CHCl2 to produce meso-tetranitromethyloctaethylhemin(II), a high-spin iron(III) complex with a porphyrin lignad fully substituted in all β- and meso-positions.
