HemoCD, which is composed of an iron(II)porphyrin such as 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(4‐sulfonatophenyl)porphinatoiron(II) (Fe(II)TPPS) and a cyclodextrin (CD) dimer having a pyridine linker, represents a synthetic hemoglobin (Hb) model compound that exhibits reversible oxygen (O 2 ) binding ability in aqueous solution at an ambient temperature. Therefore, hemoCD has the potential to be used as a totally synthetic artificial oxygen carrier. In this article, we describe the improvements of hemoCD related to its synthesis and O 2 /CO selectivity. The synthesis procedure of the CD dimer of hemoCD was re‐examined, and the CD dimer was successively synthesized from inexpensive β‐CD with a 38% yield (three‐steps), which enabled us to obtain the CD dimer in gram‐quantities. The O 2 /CO selectivity of hemoCD was also markedly improved using an iron(II)porphyrin having a carboxylate group at the distal site of hemoCD.
