An up to 18-fold increase of the turnover frequency (TOF) in the catalase-like hydrogen peroxide dismutation reaction is observed by incorporation of substituents in the β-position of xanthene-modified iron corroles.

THE literature on bacterial metabolism contains references which suggest that the anaerobic dismutation of pyruvic acid which we have shown to occur in animal tissues (see the preceding paper) may also take place in certain bacteria. Barron et al. [1932; 1933; 1934; 1936], for instance, described experiments concerning the oxidation of pyruvic acid in Gonococcus and showed that there is a speci...

An abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) has been used as a Lewis base to initiate dismutation of trichlorosilane. This report presents the reactivity differences of a normal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) versus aNHCwith heavier group 14 elements. Three novel compounds (NHC)2 SiCl2H2 (2), aNHC SiCl2H2 (3), and aNHC GeCl2 (4) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analys...

This report presents the reactivity differences of a normal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) versus aNHC with heavier group 14 elements. Three novel compounds (NHC)(2)·SiCl(2)H(2) (2), aNHC·SiCl(2)H(2) (3), and aNHC·GeCl(2) (4) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal...
