Reduction in Molecular Oxygen of Macromolecule-metalloporphyrin Complexes

Macromolecule-metalloporphyrins having the catalytic activity of molecular oxygen were examined. Particular attention was directed to i) cytchrome c oxidase in vivo, ii) metalloporphyrin complexes in low-molecular systems based on macromolecular systems and iii) macromolecule-metalloporphyrins. Basic study was made of the material systems iii) of oxygen sensors and fuel cells.
