21. ext. The local field correction is in general a tensor quantity; it is treated here as a scalar and the value of f has been estimated to be between 1.1 and 1.3 (see refs 11 and 13). More details are in Böttcher, C.J.F. Theory of Electric Polarization; Elsevier: Amsterdam, 1973; Vol. 1. Because of uncertainty in the value of f, we report the observed values of |Δμ| divided by f.

41. Because CO is not very soluble in 2MeTHF and the extinction coefficient is small, the intensity of the absorption band for free CO dissolved in frozen 2MeTHF is much lower than other vibrations observed in this paper. Because of its low absorption intensity and small |Δμ|, the free CO data is much noisier.
42. Note that the observed values of |Δμ| are not corrected for the local field correction factor f. However, f is expected to be slightly larger than 1 and not to affect |Δμ| significantly. See ref 21 for details.
43. The local field correction factor is assumed to be unity. See ref 21.

46. Here, we are assuming that the protein electric field near the Fe-CO unit is fairly uniform, so that the magnitude and the direction of the local electric fields on C-O and Fe-C (or N-O and Fe-N) are the same.

48. anh for the Fe-C stretch could be obtained experimentally if the IR intensity of the mode were measured; however, because of its lower stretch frequency, it is difficult to observe the Fe-CO stretch by IR.
