Oxidation of low-spin iron(II) porphyrins by molecular oxygen. An outer sphere mechanism

Abstract: Hexacoordinate low-spin iron(II) porphyrins are oxidized by molecular oxygen in amine solvents at room temperature by a process that is acid dependent. The visible and NMR spectra of solutions of the iron complexes and the influence of axial ligands upon the rate of oxidation are consistent with an outer sphere mechanism that entails the dissociation of a protonated 1:1 iron porphyrin-oxygen pi complex as the rate-limiting step.

“…Based solely upon its inability to be inhibited by carbon monoxide and cyanide and yet be oxidized by oxygen, a "C" conformation was assigned this protein and an "outer sphere" mechanism for the oxygen oxidation of the heme in b¡ and hemes generally was postulated. We have recently demonstrated this mechanism for the O2 oxidation of hemes, including an active site model for cyt b$, does occur in homogeneous solution (Chu et al, 1978). These findings, along with the observations noted below, can explain the seemingly anomalous behavior of this cytochrome.…”

“…The longer Fe-P bond in 1 compared to that in Fe(TPP)(PMe,Ph), is almost certainly steric in origin; within 1, the hydrogens on carbons 27,28,3 1, and 32 are 2.50, 2.49, 2.71, and 2. 44 A respectively, from the porphyrin, less than the normal packing distance of 2.9 A (30).…”

“…Trace protons (from water) can promote formation of superoxide (stabilized as H02.) from reaction of O2 with hexacoordinate metalloporphyrins via a one-electron outer-shere process (44,45), and H-abstraction by H02. could also be envisaged.…”

“…Extensive literature is dedicated to thermal and photosensitized formation of O 2 Ϫ [13, 22Ϫ24]. Superoxide can also be formed by outer sphere electron transfer from transition metal ion with saturated coordination sphere [25] or, exceptionally, by liberation from superoxide-type complexes in aprotic solvents [26]. Photosensitizers producing superoxide are e.g.…”
