a

Distances in Å, Angles in deg., tw = this work.

b

Displacement of the metal atom from the 24-atom mean plane, a positive number indicates a displacement toward the imidazole ligand.

c

Bond distance between iron atom and imidazole (pip, Py) nitrogen atom.

d

Bond distance between iron atom and the coordinate atom of sixth ligand.

e

Dihedral angle between the planes defined by the closest Np–Co–Nim/im– and the imidazole or imidazolate plane.

f

Dihedral angle between the planes defined by two axial ligand planes.

g

The data is cited for one of the two half-porphyrins in the asymmetric unit.
