Biomimetic Catalysis of a Porous Iron-Based Metal–Metalloporphyrin Framework

Abstract
A porous metal–metalloporphyrin framework, MMPF-6, based upon an iron(III)-metalated porphyrin ligand and a secondary binding unit of a zirconium oxide cluster was constructed; MMPF-6 demonstrated interesting peroxidase activity comparable to that of the heme protein myoglobin as well as exhibited solvent adaptability of retaining the peroxidase activity in an organic solvent.
