The title compound, [Fe(2)(C(14)H(10)NS(2))(2)(CO)(6)], was synthesized as a structural and biochemical model for the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. The bond lengths (Fe-Fe, Fe-S and Fe-C) and angles (C-Fe-Fe and Fe-S-Fe) are within expected ranges. The S⋯S distance [2.9069 (12) Å] and the dihedral angle between two Fe-S-Fe planes [78.5 (3)°] of the butterfly-shaped Fe(2)S(2) core are enlar...

The title compound, [Fe(C(8)H(5))(C(22)H(16)P)(C(3)H(9)P)(3)], was synthesized by the addition of phenyl-ethine to a solution of the parent methyl iron complex Fe(CH(3)){P(C(6)H(5))(2)(C(10)H(6))}(PMe(3))(3) at 213 K, accompanied by evolution of methane. The coordination around the iron center can be described as slightly distorted octa-hedral [Fe-P 2.2485 (12)-2.2902 (12) Å; Fe-C 1.918 (5), 2....

The reaction mechanism of an electrophoretically pure potato tuber lipoxygenase (ptLOX) was studied by EPR spectroscopy. An EPR spectrum of the 'native' ptLOX recorded at 4.5+/-0.5 K showed signals of a high-spin (pseudo) axial Fe(3+) with a g-value of approx. 6.3+/-0.1 with a shoulder at g=5.9+/-0.1, and a rhombic Fe(3+) signal at g=4.35+/-0.05. When the enzyme was treated with a 2-fold molar ...

In the [Fe(4,4'-bit)(3)](2+) (4,4'-bit is 4,4'-bi-1,3-thia-zole) cation of the title compound, [Fe(C(6)H(4)N(2)S(2))(3)][FeBr(4)]Br, the Fe(II) atom (3 symmetry) is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by six N atoms from three 4,4'-bit ligands. In the [FeBr(4)](-) anion, the Fe(III) atom (3 symmetry) is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, inter...

Red upconversion luminescence (UCL) is selectively enhanced by about 7 times via Fe(3+) codoping into a NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocrystalline lattice. The maximum red-to-green ratio (R/G) as well as the overall integrated UCL intensity features at an Fe(3+) content of 20 mol%. The size and phase of nanocrystals are simultaneously manipulated via Fe(3+) doping with various concentrations by a facile hydro...

The reaction of cyanide, carbon monoxide, and ferrous derivatives led to the isolation of three products, trans- and cis-[Fe(CN)(4)(CO)(2)](2)(-) and [Fe(CN)(5)(CO)](3)(-), the first two of which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The new compounds show self-consistent IR, (13)C NMR, and mass spectroscopic properties. The reaction of trans-[Fe(CN)(4)(CO)(2)](2)(-) with Et(4...

1-(2-tryptanthrinylaminoacetoxy)-14-(1-pyrenecarboxy)-3,6,9,12-tetraoxatetradecane (T2NH-P5P) was synthesized as a fluorescent chemosensor for metal ions. We investigated the metal-ion recognition of T2NH-P5P by separately adding Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+), Fe(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Ag(+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+), Al(3+), and Pb(2+) in an acetonitrile solution. When using excitation at...
