We have prepared a novel oxygen carrier composed of Starburst dendrimer 3 hematoporphyrin iron(III) di‐1‐(3‐aminopropyl)imidazole di‐succinic acid (SDHAPI). This compound has a molecular weight of ∼12.7 kD. O 2 and CO binding to SDHAPI was demonstrated by UV‐vis spectroscopy. Oxygenated SDHAPI had an estimated auto‐oxidation half‐life of 24 min. The oxygen stoichiometry (∼6 mol of O 2 mol −1 SDHAPI) and the k obs(on+off) of 0.084 s −1 and k obs(off) of 0.009 s −1 were estimated with an oxygen electrode.
