abstract：:We discussed the bonding of O2 to hemoglobin using results of ab initio calculations of idealized portions of the Hb molecule. The bond between Fe and O2 is formed by coupling a triplet state (intermediate spin state) of Fe to the triplet ground state of O2 (analogous to the bonding of O to O2 in ozone). The coordinat...
