Question
I11.4 The protein haemerythrin is responsible for binding and carrying
O, in some invertebrates. Each protein molecule has two Fe* ions that
are in very close proximity and work together to bind one molecule of
0,. The Fe,O, group of oxygenated haemerythrin is coloured and has an
electronic absorption band at 500 nm. The Raman spectrum of oxygenated
haemerythrin obtained with laser excitation at 500 nm has a band at 844 cm
that has been attributed to the O-0 stretching mode of bound "0,. (a) Proof
that the 844 cm" band arises from a bound O, species may be obtained by
conducting experiments on samples of haemerythrin that have been mixed
with "O, instead of "O,. Predict the fundamental vibrational wavenumber
of the "O-"O stretching mode in a sample of haemerythrin that has been
treated with "O,. (b) The fundamental vibrational wavenumbers for the O-0
stretching modes of O, O, (superoxide anion), and O (peroxide anion)
are 1555, 1107, and 878 cm", respectively. Explain this trend in terms of the
electronic structures of O, O, and O. Hint: Review Topic 9C. What are the
bond orders of O, O, and O? ? (c) Based on the data given above, which of
the following species best describes the Fe,O, group of haemerythrin: Fe*,0,
Fe*Fe*O, or Fe",O ? Explain your reasoning. (d) The Raman spectrum of
haemerythrin mixed with "O"O has two bands that can be attributed to the
0-0 stretching mode of bound oxygen. Discuss how this observation may be
used to exclude one or more of the four proposed schemes (7-10) for binding
of O, to the Fe, site of haemerythrin.
