Abstract
The ESR and absorption spectroscopies were used to study the reduction of Fe(III) tetrasulphophthalocyanine (FeTSP) and Fe(III) chloro-deuteroporphyrin (FeCDP) by ascorbic acisd and cysteine. Only the monomeric form of Fe(III)TSP gives an ESR spectrum, while the dimer is ESR quiet. The complex is low-spin, and is rapidly reduced by both substrates to Fe(II)TSP. The spin states of the complexes are correlated with their catalytic activity in the oxidation of the substrates by dioxygen.
