R. Jones et al., GROUND AND EXCITED-STATE SPECTROSCOPIC PROBES OF [(TMP)FE(IV)=O](- THE FIRST MAGNETIC CIRCULAR-DICHROISM STUDY OF A MODEL PEROXIDASE COMPOUND-I INTERMEDIATE() ), Inorganic chemistry, 37(12), 1998, pp. 2842-2843
MCD spectroscopy has been used to probe the ground and excited state e
lectronic structure of [(TMP)Fe(IV)=O](+), in order to obtain addition
al insight into the electronic structure of enzymic compound I catalyt
ic intermediates. Differences between the MCD of HRP I and the model p
arallel differences in the exchange interaction. Variable-temperature
MCD has determined the magnitude of the ground state zero-field splitt
ing (D-3/2 = +-5.3 cm(-1)), which reflects a small energy separation (
triangle) between the Fe d(xy) and d(xz,yz) orbitals due to Fe dxz,yz
--> porphyrin p pi back-bonding interactions.
