Stable oxo-iron(IV) porphyrin π radical cation related to the oxidation cycles of cytochrome P-450 and peroxidase
Abstract
A porphyrin having twelve phenyl groups was synthesized and the stable oxo-iron(IV) porphyrin π radical cation at 8 °C was formed by the reaction of this porphyrin iron(III) complex and m-chloroperbenzoic acid.
