Axial ligands play a dominating role in determining the electronic structure and reactivity of iron porphyrin active sites and synthetic models. Several properties unique to the cysteine bound heme enzyme, cytochrome P450, is attributed to the "push effect" of the thiolate axial ligand. In this mini-review the ground state electronic structure of iron porphyrins with imidazole, phenolate and thiolate complexes, derived using a combination of spectroscopy and DFT calculations, are discussed. The differences in kinetics and selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), catalyzed by these iron porphyrin complexes with different axial ligands, help elucidate the varying push effects of the different axial ligands on oxygen activation by ferrous porphyrin. The spectroscopic and kinetic data help to develop a quantitative understanding of the "push effect" and, in particular, the electrostatic and covalent contributions to it.

<p></p><p><b>ABSTRACT</b>. <a></a><a></a><a>Earlier QM/MM studies of the resting state of vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO) focused on the diprotonated states of the vanadate cofactor. Herein, we report a new extensive QM/MM study that includes the tri- and quadprotonated states of VCPO at neutral pH. We identify certain di- and triprotonated states as being candidates for the resting state based on a comparison of relative energies. The quadprotonated states as well as some of the triprotonated states are ruled out as the resting state. An Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM) analysis of the complex hydrogen bonding around the vanadate cofactor helps to explain the relative energies of the protonation states considered herein, and it also indicates new hydrogen bonding which has not been recognized previously. A Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) study is presented to give a better understanding of the electronic structure of the vanadate co-factor.</a></p><br><p></p>
