Heme-carbonyl complexes are widely exploited for the insight they provide into the structural basis of function in heme-based proteins, by revealing the nature of their bonded and nonbonded interactions with the protein. This report presents two novel results which clearly establish a FeCO vibrational signature for crystallographically verified pentacoordination. First, anisotropy in the NRVS density of states for ν(Fe-C) and δ(FeCO) in oriented single crystals of [Fe(OEP)(CO)] clearly reveals t ...[more]
