Abstract
The molecular structure of a reversible oxygen carrier, (MoO)-O-VI(tmp)(O-2 ) has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Oxo and dioxygen ligands are actually coordinated with cis conformation, which leads to a saddle-li ke distortion of the porphyrin ring. The result of 2D ROESY shows the disto rtion of the porphyrin ring is retained in solution.
