frustrated chemists for decades. Many claims of ferrous complexes that reversibly bind molecular oxy-gen have been made, 1-9but none have been fully sub-stantiated, some have later proved to be invalid, 10'11 and most have rested on the observation of a single physical parameter, often a change in the visible spec-trum, as a criterion of oxygen uptake and reversibility. Low temperature seems to sufficiently retard irreversible oxidation in some systems8· 9· 12 to permit the observa-tion of some reversible oxygenation. However, in view of the now well-recognized facile ligand redox re-actions of iron complexes, 13 claims of reversible oxygenation which rely solely on the criterion of solution spectral change must be treated with utmost caution. We communicate here the synthesis and full characterization of a crystalline dioxygen14 complex derived from a specifically designed ferrous porphyrin com-plex.Reversible oxygenation of myoglobinand hemoglobin appears to result from a five-coordinate high-spin iron (II) porphyrin immobilized within a hydro-phobic pocket. 16 Apparently irreversible oxidation of iron results from either a bimolecular interaction involving two Fe (II) complexes with one 02 molecule16 or protonation affording H202 which subsequently reacts with the Fe (II). Exploiting the concept of biphenyl-type atropisomerism17 in ortho-substituted meso-tetraphenylporphyrins, we have constructed a “picket fence” porphyrin whose steric bulk on one side creates a nonprotic cavity for the coordination of small ligands while also protecting such ligands from bimolecular reactions.
