Peroxynitric Acid: A Convenient Oxygen Source for Oxidation of Organic Compounds Catalyzed by Polyimide-Supported Manganese (III) Tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin Acetate

Microbial manganese(III) reduction fuelled by anaerobic acetate oxidation.

Soluble manganese in the intermediate +III oxidation state (Mn3+ ) is a newly identified oxidant in anoxic environments, whereas acetate is a naturally abundant substrate that fuels microbial activity. Microbial populations coupling anaerobic acetate oxidation to Mn3+ reduction, however, have yet to be identified. We isolated a Shewanella strain capable of oxidizing acetate anaerobically with M...

Microbial Manganese ( Iii ) Reduction Fueled by Anaerobic Acetate Oxidation

Background: Microbial manganese (Mn) cycling in marine and freshwater environments is generally assumed to consist of Mn oxidation in oxic water columns and Mn(IV) oxide reduction in anoxic sediments [1] as the only two bioavailable Mn redox species. This dogma was recently overturned with the discovery that soluble Mn dominates the soluble Mn pool at μM concentrations in suboxic environments [...

Biomimetic oxidation of piperine and piplartine catalyzed by iron(III) and manganese(III) porphyrins.

Synthetic metalloporphyrins, in the presence of monooxygen donors, are known to mimetize various reactions of cytochrome P450 enzymes systems in the oxidation of drugs and natural products. The oxidation of piperine and piplartine by iodosylbenzene using iron(III) and manganese(III) porphyrins yielded mono- and dihydroxylated products, respectively. Piplartine showed to be a more reactive subst...

Mild and Efficient Oxidation of Alcohols with NaIO4 Catalyzed by a Manganese Porphyrin-polyoxometalate Hybrid Material

Efficient and selective oxidation of alcohols with NaIO4 catalyzed by an organic-inorganic hybrid material in which manganese(III)5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin chloride, MnIII(TAPP)Cl, is covalently linked to a Lindqvist structure of polyoxometalate, Mo6O192-, at room temperature is reported. The effect of various parameters such as catalyst amount, solvent and oxidant were studie...

Acetate oxidation by dissimilatory Fe(III) reducers.

Unsaturated lipide oxidation catalyzed by hematin compounds.

Hematin catalysis of unsaturated lipide oxidation is probably a primary reaction in many types of pathological unsaturated fat oxidation in viva (l-3) and in the spoilage of frozen meat products by oxidative fat rancidity (4). Some of the properties of hematin catalysis have been described (4-8), but knowledge of the reaction mechanism and the reaction products is relatively meager. The catalyt...
