Abstract

Synthetic metalloporphyrins enjoy continuing popularity as models for metalloenzymes, oxygen transport and storage proteins, and biological electron-transport systems. Covalent attachment of potential ligands, bulky blocking groups, and other interactive species to a porphyrin macrocycle has been a frequently used strategy in the synthesis of heme protein models. This strategy can control coordination of the metalloporphyrin by a steric or ...
