Reaction of n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L1, n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), H(2)L2, and benzylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L3, with anhydrous ferric chloride in the presence of base yields the products, [FeL1(μ-Cl)](2) (1), [FeL2(μ-Cl)](2) (2) and [FeL3(μ-Cl)](2) (3). In the solid state, these com...

The iron(III)tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe(III)TPPCl, iron(III)tetra-naphthylporphyrin Fe(III)TNPCl, ?-oxo-bis[tetraphenylporphyriniron(III)] [(Fe(III)TPP)2O], ?-oxo-bis[tetranaphthylporphyriniron(III)] [(Fe(III)TNP)2O], tin(IV)tetraphenylporphyrin Sn(IV)TPPCl2 and tin(IV)tetra-naphthylporphyrin Sn(IV)TNPCl2 complexes were all found to be adsorbed onto the montmorillonite MMT clay without de...

Metal-superoxo species are believed to play key roles in oxygenation reactions by metalloenzymes. One example is cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) that catalyzes the oxidation of cysteine with O(2), and an iron(III)-superoxo species is proposed as an intermediate that effects the sulfoxidation reaction. We now report the first biomimetic example showing that a chromium(III)-superoxo complex bearing a ...

Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) has in vitro antioxidant activity against iron plus ascorbate-induced 2-deoxyribose degradation due to its ability to chelate iron; the resulting Fe(III)-PIH(2) complex is supposedly unable to catalyze oxyradical formation. A putative step in the antioxidant action of PIH is the inhibition of Fe(III)-med...

A new molecular precursor strategy has been used to prepare a series of single-site catalysts that possess isolated iron centers supported on mesoporous SBA-15 silica. The iron centers were introduced via grafting reactions of the tris(tert-butoxy)siloxy iron(III) complex Fe[OSi(O(t)Bu)(3)](3)(THF) with SBA-15 in dry hexane. This complex reacts cleanly with the hydroxyl groups of SBA-15 to elim...

The use of iron as a replacement for noble metals in photochemical and photophysical applications is challenging due to the typically fast deactivation short-lived catalytically active states. Recent success cyclometalated iron(III) complex utilizing bis-tridentate ligand motif inspired phenyl-1H-pyrazole bidentate ligand. Five complexes using tris(1-phenylpyrazolato-N,C2)iron(III) scaffold are...

Complexation equilibrium between iron(III) and N,N’-bis(2-hydroxyphenylmethyl)-N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2ethanediamine (H2bbpen), a colorless hydrophobic divalent hexadentate ligand, and potential use of the ligand for the spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) in aqueous solution was investigated. In the pH range 2.0 − 3.0, Fe(III) forms stable 1:1 complex with H2bbpen, and Fe(III) c...

Gravimetric, titrimetric, polarographic, optical and radiochemical methods have been reported for the determination of iron(II) and (III). Numerous reagents have also been reported for the spectrophotometric determination of Fe(II); for example, thiocyanate, dipyridine, tripyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. The 1,10phenanthroline family has been extended to the use of dihydroxy, dimethyl, nitro ...
