Spectrophotometric evidence for the dissociation of an Fe(III) porphyrin {mu}-oxo dimer induced by porphyrin-cyclodextrin complexation in aqueous solution is reported. Depending on the pH, the monomer may be in a diaquo monohydroxo or diaquo dihydroxo form with pK values of 6.4 or 8.5, respectively. In the absence of {beta}-cyclodextrin ({beta}-CD), the {mu}-oxo dimer exists as mono- or dihydroxo species with a pK of 11.7. {gamma}- and pulse radiolysis techniques are used to study the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction. Fe{sup III}TSPP(H{sub 2}O){sub 2} (TSPP is tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin) is reduced by hydrated electrons and CH{sub 2}OH{sup {sm bullet}} radicals into Fe{sup II}TSPP(H{sub 2}O){sub 2} whereas Fe{sup III}TSPP(OH{sup {minus}}){sub 2} and (H{sub 2}O)FeTSPP-O-FeTSPP(OH{sup {minus}}) are both reduced to the monohydroxo Fe{sup II}TSPP(H{sub 2}O)(OH{sup {minus}}) monomer. The Fe{sup II}-O-Fe{sup II} dimer may be formed in strongly alkaline solution. Measurements of the proton (NMR) relaxivity values of this Fe(III) porphyrin in the absence and in the presence of {beta}-CD indicate the possibility of using Fe{sup III}TSPP in conjunction with {beta}-CD as a paramagnetic contrast agent for in vivo imaging of tumors and tissue.
