Abstract

In the present manuscript, we report the kinetic and spectroscopic analysis of six new pinch-porphyrins: Protoporphyrin-picpenta 1, mesoporphyrin-picpenta 2, deuteroporphyrin-picpenta 3, protoporphyrin-picocta 4, mesoporphyrin-picocta 5, and deuteroporphyrin-picocta 6. The Michaelis-Menten enzymatic pathway and the guaiacol test confirmed the ability of the compounds to function like new peroxidase models. UV-vis, 1H NMR, and electron spin resonance studies are in accordance with porphyrin-Fe(III) molecules with the quantum phenomena called quantum mixed spin (qms, s = 3/2, s = 5/2). Importantly, the influence of the presence of the s = 3/2 spin state in the compounds and its critical role for the catalytic capacity is proven here, which was the original hypothesis in our research group. The compounds with higher populations of the s = 3/2 spin state have increased peroxidase activity.
