Nucleophilic water attack is not a possible mechanism for O-O bond formation in photosystem II.
Two different types of mechanisms are at present suggested for the O-O bond-formation step in photosystem II. The first one is a coupling between an oxyl radical and a bridging oxo. The second one is a nucleophilic water attack on a terminal oxo (or oxyl) group. In the present short paper, the six most reasonable versions of the latter mechanism have been studied and compared with the oxo-oxyl ...
متن کاملThe Ru-Hbpp water oxidation catalyst.
A thorough characterization of the Ru-Hbpp (in,in-{[Ru(II)(trpy)(H(2)O)](2)(mu-bpp)}(3+) (trpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, bpp is bis(2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyrazolate)) water oxidation catalyst has been carried out employing structural (single crystal X-ray), spectroscopic (UV-vis and NMR), kinetic, and electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) analyses. The latter reveals the existence of five different o...
متن کاملCatalyst Systems for the Oxidation of Phenol in Water
The oxidation of phenol solutions (5 g/L) has been studied in a semibatch autoclave reactor. Activity screening experiments were performed over two commercial catalysts: CuO+ZnO (Topsoe) and CuO+NiO (Engelhard), and CuO/Al2O3 prepared in our laboratory. Isothermal runs between 393 and 423 K were carried out under an oxygen pressure of 7 bar. Phenol conversion as well as pH and Chemical Oxygen D...
متن کاملWater oxidation: a robust all-inorganic catalyst.
Water is the most abundant molecular compound on Earth: it is omnipresent and essential for life. Water is a very stable compound because of its high formation enthalpy of 286 kJmol , and thus the splitting of water into dihydrogen and dioxygen is a high-energy process—the thermal splitting of water requires temperatures above 2500 8C, and is still incomplete. Although the electrochemical split...
متن کاملOn the mechanism of water oxidation by a bimetallic manganese catalyst: a density functional study.
Density functional theory is used to explore possible mechanisms that lead to water oxidation by a bimetallic manganese catalyst developed by McKenzie and co-workers. On the basis of our calculations we propose that the key active intermediate is a mixed valent Mn(III)(μ-O)Mn(IV)-O˙ oxyl radical species, the oxyl centre being the site of nucleophilic attack by water. The mixed-valent species is...
