Synthesis and NMR Characterization of Bis-Strapped Six-coordinate Fe(II) Cytochrome-C Model

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(92)88057-C

The new hexadentate bis-strapped porphyrin 6 has been synthesized with two different ansa, bringing in an intramolecular way, a nitrogen base and a thioether sixth ligand both necessary to mimic the natural cytochrome-C protein. 1H NMR spectroscopy indicates clearly the six coordination of the iron atom.Key Words: cytochrome-C/ porphyrin/ modelisation/ six-coordinate Fe(II)
