Abstract

Activation of O2 by cytochrome P‐450 monooxygenase is generally thought to proceed by way of a peroxoiron(III) porphyrinate species that is then transformed into an oxoiron(IV) porphyrinate radical cation. Such a radical cation, the “picket fence” model compound 1, has now been isolated for the first time from the peroxoiron(III) species by treatment with HBF4 · Et2O. (Figure Presented.)
