Oxidized form of enzyme catalase (structure A); prepared by the reaction of [Fe(P)]+ (P=porphyrin) with H2O2 has a green colour because of
1. Oxidation state of iron changed from FeIII to FeIV.
2. Porphyrin ring is oxidized by one electron.
3. transition appears in the visible region
4. FeIV is coordinated with anionic tyrosinate ligand in axial position.
