Critical review of the literature on iron(I) and iron(IV) porphyrins reveals many ambiguities in the assigned spin and oxidation states. The question of whether a redox reaction has occurred at the iron atom or at the porphyrin ring in highly reduced or highly oxidized complexes is not semantic and can usually be decided collectively from UV-VIS spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and structural parameters derived from x-ray crystallography. The low spin iron(I) state has considerable validity in iron porphyrin complexes that are reduced below the iron(II) level. Complexes that are oxidized above the iron(III) level give rise to either iron(IV) porphyrins or, more often, iron(III) radical cations. The site of redox is largely dictated by the nature of the axial ligation. Highly reduced and highly oxidized iron porphyrin complexes provide a basis for understanding intermediates in the reactions of cytochrome P-450 and the peroxidases.

T r o n porphyrin complexes have been studied intensively i n their c o m m o n l y o c c u r r i n g o x i d a t i o n states, i r o n ( I I ) a n d i r o n ( I I I ) .

N u c l é a i r e s de Grenoble). I particularly thank them, their students, and my students who are cited in the references. I also thank John T. Groves and Harold Goff for discussion of results prior to publication. I sincerely hope that the authors whose work I reinterpret will grant me the liberty of critical scientific enquiry and the license of alternative interpretation.
