Electronic structure and reactivity of high-valent oxo iron porphyrins

摘要

High valent oxo iron porphyrins have been prepared and characterized as models for compounds-Ⅰ and compounds-Ⅱ in heme enzymes. In this review, we survey studies of high valent oxo iron porphyrin complexes. Spectroscopic properties and reactivities of oxo iron (Ⅳ) porphrin π-cation radical complexes are summarized. Electron-withdrawing effects of meso-substituents and pyrrole β-substituents on the electronic structure of oxo iron (Ⅳ) porphyrin π-cation radicals are discussed. The effect of the axial ligand is also reviewed. Isoelectronic forms of oxo iron (Ⅳ) porphyrin π-cation radicals are reviewed. We have summarized the synthesis and characterization of oxo iron (Ⅳ) porphyrins as model for compoudns-Ⅱ.
