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 between Electrically Conductive Minerals and Quinones
Long-distance electron transfer in marine environments couples physically separated redox half-reactions, impacting biogeochemical cycles of iron, sulfur and carbon. Bacterial bio-electrochemical systems that facilitate electron transfer via conductive filaments or across man-made electrodes are well-known, but the impact of abiotic currents across naturally occurring conductive and semiconduct...
متن کاملActivation entropy of electron transfer reactions
We report microscopic calculations of free energies and entropies for intramolecular electron transfer reactions. The calculation algorithm combines the atomistic geometry and charge distribution of a molecular solute obtained from quantum calculations with the microscopic polarization response of a polar solvent expressed in terms of its polarization structure factors. The procedure is tested ...
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 کاملRedox potential of quinones in both electron transfer branches of photosystem I.
The redox potentials of the two electron transfer (ET) active quinones in the central part of photosystem I (PSI) were determined by evaluating the electrostatic energies from the solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation based on the crystal structure. The calculated redox potentials are -531 mV for A1A and -686 mV for A1B. From these results we conclude the following. (i) Both branches are a...
