Addition of copper(II) acetate to octaethyl(meso-hydroxy)porphyrin (H2OEPOH) in THF under a dinitrogen atmosphere produces CuII(OEPOH), which has been isolated as red crystals and shown to have a meso-hydroxyporphyrin structure by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy. CuII(OEPOH) undergoes oxidation by dioxygen to form a novel dinuclear copper complex {CuII(OEPOC(O)OEB)CuII}. This dinuclear complex is composed of a copper(II) meso-substituted porphyrin portion (with a planar CuN4 unit), which is attached through an ester linkage to a helical copper(II) tetrapyrrole that has been ring-opened through oxidative cleavage of a second molecule of CuII(OEPOH). The oxidative ring-opening reaction resembles that of natural heme catabolism but is arrested at a stage where the oxidized meso-carbon is still appended to the helical open tetrapyrrole. A mechanism is suggested for this process.Key words: copper porphyrin, crystal structure, porphyrin oxidation, linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxy-porphyrin, oxophlorin.

<p>The torquoselectivity of conrotatory ring opening of 3-carbomethoxycyclobutene is controlled by p<sub>C1C2</sub>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> and s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>CO</sub> interactions in the transition state in a 4-electron process as opposed to only s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>CO</sub> interaction in an apparently 8-electron event in 3-carbomethoxy-1,2-benzocyclobutene. The ring opening of 3-carbomethoxy-1,2-benzocyclobutene is sufficiently endothermic. We therefore argue that the reverse ring closing reaction is faster than the forward ring opening reaction and, thus, it establishes an equilibrium between the two and subsequently allows formation of the more stable species <i>via</i> outward ring opening reaction. Application of this argument to 3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-1,2-benzocyclobutene explains the predominantly observed inward opening.</p>
