“…However, it has been shown [23] that two specific cytochromes P450, P450 nor and P450 cam , only gave, respectively, the 426 and the 453-nm absorbing Fe II -isocyanide species. More recently, X-ray diffraction studies [34] as well as resonance Raman spectroscopy studies [35] have shown that in the structure of the 453 absorbing species, P450 cam Fe II -CNnBu, the Fe-C-N geometry was bent with an angle of 159°. This led to a better overlap between the d-orbitals of the iron and the p* orbitals of the nBuNC ligand and facilitated the d-p* back donation to the ligand which then acted as a pure pacceptor.…”
