Iron octaethylisobacteriochlorin, a model system for the siroheme prosthetic group of nitrite and sulphite reductases
Abstract
The preparation, spectroscopic, and electrochemical characterization, and the investigation of ligation with biologically relevant ligands are reported here for iron(III) octaethylisobacteriochlorin chloride which is compared with siroheme, the prosthetic group of nitrite and sulphite reductases.
