The oxidation of iron oxophlorin (meso-hydroxyporphyrin) complexes has been studied in order to understand the basic chemical reactivity which may contribute to the heme destruction that is catalyzed by heme oxygenase. Reaction of the iron(III) octaethyloxopblorin dimer [Fe III (OEPO)] 2 with molecular bromine results in the formation of two new, highly oxidized complexes, BrFe III (OEPO . ) and Br 2 Fe III (OEPOx) (where OEPO . and OEPOx are the octaethyloxophlorin dianion radical and the oxidized octaethyloxophlorin monoanion, respectively), in which the experimental data suggest that it is the ligand rather than the iron that has undergone oxidation
