Oxygen transfer from bleomycin-metal complexes.

Oxygen transfer from bleomycin-metal complexes.

Both Fe(III) and Cu(II) complexes of bleomycin (BLM), but not N-acetyl BLM . Fe(III), mediated the transfer of oxygen from iodosobenzene to organic substrates. In analogy with results obtained using certain cytochrome P-450 analogs, cis-stilbene was converted cleanly to the respective oxide, while no more than traces of trans-stilbene oxide were formed from trans-stilbene under identical condit...

METAL-METAL CHARGE TRANSFER IN LnM-CN-FeCl3 COMPLEXES

By combining the organometallic cyanides L n M-CN [L n M = Cp(dppe)Fe, Cp(dppe)Ru, Cp(PPh 3 ) 2 Ru] with FeCl 3 the dinuclear complexes L n M-CN-FeCl 3 were obtained. Structure determinations have revealed configurations close to linear arrays Fe-C-N-Fe and Ru-CN-Fe. From the n(CN) band positions in their IR spectra it can be concluded that FeCl 3 is a very strong electron acceptor. Accordingly...

Femtosecond absorption spectroscopy of transition metal charge-transfer complexes.

Our research is concerned with the application of femtosecond time-resolved absorption techniques to the study of the photophysics of transition metal complexes. The focus is to understand the events that characterize the process of excited-state evolution from the time a photon is absorbed by a molecule to the formation of the lowest-energy excited state of the system. This Account describes o...

Solvation-Driven Charge Transfer and Localization in Metal Complexes

In any physicochemical process in liquids, the dynamical response of the solvent to the solutes out of equilibrium plays a crucial role in the rates and products: the solvent molecules react to the changes in volume and electron density of the solutes to minimize the free energy of the solution, thus modulating the activation barriers and stabilizing (or destabilizing) intermediate states. In c...
