Its structure is ionic and is built up of two crystallographically different cations, viz. [Cu(en)2(H2O)2] 2+ and [Cu(e...

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Fe(C12H8N2)3][(CF3SO2)2N]2·H2O, is constructed by one octa-hedral [Fe(phen)3](2+) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) cation (point group symmetry 2), two Tf2N(-) [bis-(tri-fluoromethyl-sulfon-yl)imide] anions, and one water mol-ecule of crystallization (point group 2). The Fe-N bond lengths are indicative of a d (6) low-spin state for the Fe(II) ion in the...

The 34-kDa periplasmic iron-transport protein (FBP) from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (nFBP) contains Fe(III) and (hydrogen)phosphate (synergistic anion). It has a characteristic ligand-to-metal charge-transfer absorption band at 481 nm. Phosphate can be displaced by (bi)carbonate to give Fe.CO(3).nFBP (lambda(max) 459 nm). The local structures of native Fe-PO(4)-nFBP and Fe.CO(3).nFBP were determined...

The reaction of Cu(ClO(4))·6H(2)O, Cu turnings, and 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bptz) in Me(2)CO under C(2)H(4) afforded brownish-red needle crystals of {[Cu(2)(bptz˙(-))(C(2)H(4))(2)](ClO(4))}(2) (1) as a minor product and brown plate crystals of [Cu(2)(2,5-H(2)bptz)(C(2)H(4))(2)](ClO(4))(2)·2Me(2)CO (2). The X-ray crystallographic study showed that complex 1 is composed of two indep...

The title compound, (C7H10N)2(H3O)2[Fe(CN)6] or (Etpy)2(H3O)2[Fe(CN)6] (Etpy+ is 1-ethyl-pyridinium), crystallizes in the space group Pnnm. The FeII atom of the [Fe(CN)6]4- anion lies on a site with site symmetry ..2/m, and has an octa-hedral coordination sphere defined by six cyanido ligands. Both the Etpy+ and the oxonium cations are located on a mirror plane. In the crystal, electron-donor a...

There is an i...

Nitrosylation of the chelate-thiolate-containing dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) [(S(CH(2))(3)S)Fe(NO)(2)](-) triggers nitric oxide (NO) activation to generate the homoleptic nitrosyl {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) DNIC [Fe(NO)(4)](-) (1) made up of two nitroxyls (or two NO anions) attached to a delocalized {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) motif. The significantly longer N3-O3/N4-O4 [1.380(12) and 1.280(12) Å] and Fe1-N3/Fe1-N4 [...

In the title compound, {[Fe(II)(C(8)H(4)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)][Fe(III)Cl(4)](2)·4CH(3)NO(2)}(n), the Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions are hexa- and tetra-coordinated, respectively. Each unique benzene-1,4-dicarbonitrile mol-ecule lies across a crystallographic inversion centre and bridges two Fe(II) ions (each situated on an inversion centre), generating two-dimensional (4,4) square grid layers. The tetra-...

The LCuBr-catalyzed C-H imidation of arenes by N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI), previously reported by us, utilizes an inexpensive catalyst and is applicable to a broad scope of complex arenes. The computational and experimental study reported here shows that the mechanism of the reaction is comprised of two parts: (1) generation of the active dinuclear CuII-CuII catalyst; and (2) the catalyt...
