The electronic structure of Co(I) and Co(II) porphyrin has been investigated by the MO-LCAO-SCF method in the CNDO/2 approximation. It has been shown that as a result of the one-electron reduction of the original Co(II) porphine, the extra electron is localized to a considerable degree on the central ion of the complex. Consequently, the spatial structure of cobalt porphine may be altered, and the cobalt ion can deviate from the plane of the macrocyclic ligand. The interaction of molecular oxygen with Co(I) porphine has been investigated, and it has been established that the formation of a complex of the bent type, in which the O/sub 2/ molecule is at a 135/sup 0/ angle to the plane of the ligand, is most favorable.
