Abstract

There has been much discussion in recent years of the bonding in metalloporphyrins generally and of the bonding of oxygen in oxyhaemoglobin and oxymyoglobin in particular. In this article we wish to outline some conclusions reached from recent physico-chemical studies, supported by molecular orbital calculations.
