Iron(II) porphyrin nitrosyl complexes are obtained in high yields from the reaction of iron(III) porphyrins with the nitroxyl donors sodium trioxodinitrate and toluensulfohydroxamic acid. The reaction was found to proceed both in organic solvents and in aqueous media from iron(III) (meso-tetraphenyl) porphyrinate ([FeIII(TPP)]+) and iron(III) meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinate ([FeI...

A conducting molecular crystal TPP[MnIII(Pc)(CN)2]2 (MnIII: d4, S = 1, TPP = tetraphenylphosphonium and Pc = phthalocyanine) was fabricated. In its crystal structure, the [MnIII(Pc)(CN)2] units formed a one-dimensional regular chain along the c-axis with an overlap integral value of 8.6 × 10-3. TPP[MnIII(Pc)(CN)2]2 showed a semiconducting behaviour that also has been observed for isostructural ...

Cyclic voltammetry of the non-heme diiron enzyme porcine purple acid phosphatase (uteroferrin, Uf) has been reported for the first time. Totally reversible one-electron oxidation responses (FeIII-FeII --> FeII-FeIII) are seen both in the absence and in the presence of weak competitive inhibitors phosphate and arsenate, and dissociation constants of these oxoanion complexes formed with uteroferr...

The reaction of oleanane triterpenoid 1b with a FeIII(PA; picolinate)3/H2O2/MeCN system (reagent system A), a simple model system for mono-oxygenase, gave the 11 alpha-hydroxyl derivative 3 as major product, along with 11-oxo derivative 4 and 12-oxo derivative 6. The reaction of lupane triterpenoid 2b with reagent system A gave only oxidative rearrangement compounds, (20R)-aldehyde 8 and (20S)-...

Coconut water (Cocos Nucifera) is shown to be a source of essential elements present in the form low-molecular weight stable complexes known for their bio-availability. The total element concentrations were range 0.2–2.7, 0.3–1, 3–14 and 0.5–2 ppm Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, respectively, varied as function origin nut its maturity. Speciation was investigated by size-exclusion chromatography - inductively ...

We anticipate high-valent metal–fluoride species will be highly effective hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) oxidants because of the magnitude H−F bond (in product) that drives HAT oxidation. prepared a dimeric FeIII(F)−F−FeIII(F) complex (1) by reacting [FeII(NCCH3)2(TPA)](ClO4)2 (TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) with difluoro(phenyl)-λ3-iodane (difluoroiodobenzene). 1 was sluggish oxidant, however, ...

The structural characterization of de novo designed metalloproteins together with determination of chemical reactivity can provide a detailed understanding of the relationship between protein structure and functional properties. Toward this goal, we have prepared a series of cyclic peptides that bind to water-soluble metalloporphyrins (FeIII and CoIII). Neutral and positively charged histidine-...

Few families of compounds have been as intensely studied as iron porphyrin complexes. In spite of this, a truly four-coordinate Fe(III) porphyrin cation has never before been reported.1 The exceptional electrophilicity of the four-coordinate [FeIII(Porph)]+ cation will even coordinate arene solvent upon crystallization if the counteranion is extremely non-coordinating, as in the work of Reed wi...

The response mechanism of the iron(III) chalcogenide glass membrane ion-selective electrode (ISE) in saline media has been studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). EIS equivalent circuits and XPS surface compositions for the FeIII ISE are consistent with the presence of two surface films probably comprising a outer surface layer (OSL...

A versatile, fast, and nature-inspired polyphenol chemistry surface modification was applied to prepare superhydrophobic surfaces with micro-grooved structures in this study. Tannic acid and iron ion (TA–FeIII) complexes were employed as a molecular building block for anchoring biomimetic coating onto the wood substrate with catalytically reducing formative Ag ions as the rough surface to ensur...
