A CO stripper : The O 2 ‐bound form of an iron(II) porphyrin cyclodextrin supramolecular complex (hemoCD) infused into a rat vein reacted with internal CO through ligand exchange, and the CO‐bound hemoCD was immediately excreted in the urine (see picture). The hemoCD acting as a CO receptor made it possible to quantify endogenous CO in a living organism.
