Abstract
In order to model nitrite enzymatic reduction mechanism, during which the iron remains six-coordinate, and to maintain the six-coordination geometry, "tail-base" iron porphyrin has been synthezed and studied by cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, UV/Visible, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. The work has been emphasized on the elucidation of the effects of axial imidazole ligand; examination of the bonding stability of "tailbase" imidazole; investigation of the reactions of nitrite with iron(111) and iron(11) porphyrin; and determination of kinetic parameters. It is found that nitrite reacts with "tail-base" iron(lll) porphyrin easily to form a new complex and the "tailbase" imidazole may be substituted by strong ligands.
