Oxidation of copper(II) hydroxyporphyrin (oxophlorin); oxidative ring opening and formation of an ester-linked, dinuclear copper complex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
