Oxidation states “naturally”: A Natural Bond Orbital method for determining transition metal oxidation states

Stabilization of High Oxidation States in Transition Metal Complexes

Non-equilibrium oxidation states of zirconium during early stages of metal oxidation

Identifying the Plutonium Oxidation States

of elements to exhibit four common oxidation states: Pu(III), Pu(IV), Pu(V), and Pu(VI). In addition, plutonium complexes in aqueous solution can change their oxidation state by undergoing disproportionation or reproportionation reactions, or through radiolytic reactions. Because so many plutonium species can form and interact in solution, aqueous plutonium chemistry can be remarkably complex. ...

Myeloperoxidase oxidation states involved in myeloperoxidase-oxidase oxidation of thiols.

The changes in the oxidation state of the leucocyte enzyme myeloperoxidase, induced by buffer and thiols, were studied with visible-light-absorption spectroscopy. It was concluded that phosphate buffer contains small amounts of H2O2 and that thiols, when added to buffer, induce the generation of minute amounts of superoxide radical anion. These minute amounts of reduced oxygen species are sugge...

Iridium Oxidation States in Catalytic Hydrogenation Intermediates

Os conhecidos hidretos de irídio(III) [IrH2(NCMe)3(PiPr3)]BF4, [IrH(h-C3H5)(NCMe)2(PiPr3)] BF4, [IrH(E-CH=CHPh)(NCMe)3(PiPr3)]BF4 e [IrH{C(Ph)=CH2}(NCMe)3(PiPr3)]BF4, derivados do precursor catalítico tipo Crabtree [Ir(cod)(NCMe)(PiPr3)]BF4, foram investigados em reações com substratos tipicamente envolvidos na catálise homogênea de hidrogenação. Novos complexos como as espécies tris-etileno ir...
