Substituted tren-capped porphyrins: probing the influence of copper in synthetic models of cytochrome c oxidase

Author affiliations

Abstract

Tris(2-aminoethylamine) (tren)-capped porphyrins bearing electron donating or withdrawing groups on the amino functions of their tripod have been synthesised and the catalytic activity of each complex was carefully studied both as the iron and the iron–copper complexes: only one of our iron–copper complexes was shown to be active and selective towards the reduction of dioxygen to water.
