Abstract

In Sn-porphyrin tin appears in the Sn4+ state while in Sn-cytochrome c Sn4+ and Sn2+ states are observed. In Fe-porphyrin iron exhibits temperature-dependent mixed Fe2+-Fe3+ valency. In Fe-cytochrome iron is in the Fe3+ state. The bounded diffusion is observed in Fe-porphyrins above 300 K. The temperature dependence of the metal mean square displacement in cytochrome c and in Sn-porphyrin shows a deviation from the Debye model, which may be explained either by a new vibrational degree of freedom occurring above 150 K or by anharmonicity of the usual vibrations.
