Abstract

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra were observed to characterize the nature of the visible bands for high-spin Fe(III) protoheme derivatives with p-nitrothiophenolate, p-nitrophenolate, and methoxy anion as the fifth ligands in several solvents. The visible MCD bands for p-nitrophenolate heme were very sensitive to the solvent polarity, but that those for p-nitrothiophenolate heme and methoxy heme were not dependent on solvent polarity. Thus, both the two visible MCD band positions and the magnitudes were dependent on ET value (a solvent polarity parameter) in the former complex, but not in the latter two complexes. The results are consistent with previously proposed electronic structures of high-spin Fe(III) heme complexes.
