Porphyrin is a very important component of natural and artificial catalysis and oxygen delivery in blood. Here, we report that, based on first-principles density-functional calculations, a hydrogen molecule can be adsorbed non-dissociatively onto Ti-, V-, and Fe-porphyrins, similar to oxygen adsorption in heme-containing proteins, with a significant energy gain, greater than 0.3 eV per H2. The dihydrogen–heme complex will be non-magnetic, as is oxyhemoglobin. In contrast to the backward electron donation of Fe(III)–O2− in oxyhemoglobin, the dihydrogen binding originates from electron donation from H2 to the Fe(II). We have identified that the local symmetry of the transition metal center of porphyrins uniquely determines the binding strength, and, thus, one can even manipulate the strength by intentionally and systematically breaking symmetry.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
