Streszczenie

Oxidative heme catabolism, either by heme oxygenase1orby the coupled oxidation procedure,2results in the removal ofa methine group from the iron porphyrin with the eventualrelease of carbon monoxide, iron, and biliverdin. Threemolecules of dioxygen are involved in the overall reaction. Itis widely believed that the process involves initial mesohydroxylation of the heme to form an iron oxophlorin (or ironmeso-hydroxyporphyrin) as an intermediate. A number ofhypothetical mechanistic schemes have been drawn to accountfor this process.1,2While many of these propose directcoordination of dioxygen to iron, few have been concerned withthe effects of other axial ligands, and none have given anyconsideration to the significance of outer-sphere electron transferreactions. Here we report the structural characterization of theiron complex, (pyridine)2Fe(octaethyloxophlorin), (py)2Fe-(OEPO),1,3a likely intermediate in coupled oxidation,2andits redox behavior which includes the discovery of a facile, one-electron oxidation.
