Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra were observed to characterize the nature of the visible bands for high-spin Fe(III) protoheme derivatives with p-nitrothiophenolate, p-nitrophenolate, and methoxy anion as the fifth ligands in several solvents. The visible MCD bands for p-nitrophenolate heme
