Abstract

In the two-electron reduction of diphenylsulfoxide to diphenylsulfide, which is considered a model reaction of sulfite reduction catalyzed by sulfite reductase, methylviologen-pendent iron(III) porphyrin exhibits much higher catalytic activity than usual iron(III) and manganese(III) tetraphenylporphyrins, while cobalt(II) tetraphenylporphyrin exhibits much less catalytic activity than the others. Discussion about the active species and the reason of the acceleration by methylviologen-pendent is presented.
