Herein we report reversible dioxygen binding to a simple model system of myoglobin composed of a per-O-methylated β-cyclodextrin (CD) dimer having a pyridine linker (1) and [tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphinato] iron (ii)([FeII (tpps)]) in aqueous solution. Myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb) form stable O2 adducts in aqueous solution at a neutral pH value. Globin plays an essential role in stabilizing the O2 adduct in biological systems. Without this protein, oxyheme is immediately oxidized to a Met form by the action of a proton or hydroxide ion.[1] Heme is protected from acid-or base-induced autoxidation by the globin that surrounds the iron porphyrin (FePor). Many model systems of Mb and Hb were examined after the development of the picket-fence porphyrin by Collman et al.[2, 3] In most model systems O2 binding was achieved in organic solvents, where a trace amount of water had to be removed from the system. The concept proposed by Collman s research group has been expanded into the binding of O2 to hydrophobic picket-fence FeII porphyrins, which are included in vesicles [4] or albumin [5] in aqueous media. Although dendrimers with FeIIPor cores were expected to mimic the function of Mb or Hb, no stable O2 adducts were formed in these systems in aqueous solution.[6, 7] Since the O2 adduct of the dendrimers is efficiently formed in absolute toluene,[6] it is evident that construction of a hydrophobic pocket for placing the iron (ii) center of an FePor is the essential factor for realizing O2 binding in aqueous solution. In the present model system, we used the striking ability of per-O-methylated β-CD to include water-soluble tetraarylporphyrins and yield extremely stable 1: 2 (Por: CD) inclusion complexes in aqueous solution.[8] Two per-O-methylated β-CD moieties were linked by a bridge involving a pyridine ligand. Such a CD dimer (1) worked well as a simple Mb model in aqueous solution.The synthesis of 1 (Scheme 1) was carried out by using the method reported by Lawrence et al.[9] The changes in the absorption spectrum of [FeIII (tpps)] in phosphate buffer of pH 5.0 were measured as a function of the concentration of 1 (Figure 1) to examine whether 1 forms a suitable complex in which two CD moieties include the sulfonatophenyl groups at the 5 and 15 positions of [M (tpps)](M= metal ion) and the pyridine ligand coordinates to the MII or MIII site of the porphyrin. No μ-oxo dimer was formed at pH 5.0 and the predominant species involving [FeIII (tpps)] was the diaqua complex [FeIII (H2O) 2 (tpps)].[10] The Soret band of [FeIII-(H2O) 2 (tpps)] at 388 nm shifted to 421 nm upon addition of 1. The spectral changes were sharply saturated after the addition of one equivalent of 1, which indicated the formation of a very stable 1: 1 complex between [FeIII (H2O) 2 (tpps)] and 1. Analysis of the titration curve provided a binding constant
