Activation of Electron-Deficient Quinones through Hydrogen-Bond-Donor-Coupled Electron Transfer.
Quinones are important organic oxidants in a variety of synthetic and biological contexts, and they are susceptible to activation towards electron transfer through hydrogen bonding. Whereas this effect of hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) has been observed for Lewis basic, weakly oxidizing quinones, comparable activation is not readily achieved when more reactive and synthetically useful electron-def...
متن کاملElectron transfer through exTTF bridges in electron donor-acceptor conjugates.
Rigid and soluble electron donor-acceptor conjugates combining exTTF and/or TTF as donors and C60 as acceptor have been synthesized; fluorescence and transient absorption measurements confirm the generation of charge-separated radical-ion pairs with lifetimes in the micros timescale.
متن کاملDistance dependence of through-bond electron transfer rates in electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation
Ab initio electronic structure calculations on model cations containing a disulfide linkage and a protonated amine site are carried out to examine ow the rate of electron transfer from a Rydberg orbital on the amine site to the S S * orbital depends upon the distance between these two rbitals. These simulations are relevant to both electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation mass spectr...
متن کاملRole of proton-coupled electron transfer in O-O bond activation.
The selective reduction of oxygen to water requires four electrons and four protons. The design of catalysts that promote oxygen reduction therefore requires the management of both electron and proton inventories. Pacman and Hangman porphyrins provide a cleft for oxygen binding, a redox shuttle for oxygen reduction, and functionality for tuning the acid-base properties of bound oxygen and its i...
متن کاملProton-coupled electron transfer.
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is an important mechanism for charge transfer in a wide variety of systems including biology- and materials-oriented venues. We review several areas where the transfer of an electron and proton is tightly coupled and discuss model systems that can provide an experimental basis for a test of PCET theory. In a PCET reaction, the electron and proton may tran...
