Fe(III) Octaethylporphine chloride is a synthetic porphyrin used to reduce oxygen and study heme.
Uses
An iron–porphyrin adlayer adsorbed on the Au(111) substrate was used to study the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in HClO4.
General Description
2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octaethyl-21H,23H-porphine metalates with iron chloride to form 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octaethyl-21H,23H-porphine iron chloride (FeOEP). It may be used to form Langmuir Blodgett (LB) thin films. Iron–porphyrin could be present naturally in biofilms.
