The title compound, [Fe(C(2)H(5)O)(C(36)H(44)N(4))], contains a five-coordinate iron-porphyrin complex with an axial eth-oxy ligand. The iron(III) atom is displaced by 0.504 (2) Å towards the eth-oxy ligand from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin. The average Fe-N(p) distance is 2.078 (2) Å and the Fe-O distance is 1.8232 (18) Å. The eth-oxy C atoms are disordered in a 0.581 (12):0.419 (12...

A series of ferrocenyl ester complexes, varying the lipophilic character of the pendant groups, was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. The syntheses of Fe(C(5)H(4)CO(2)CH(3))(2), Fe(CpCOOCH(3)) (CpCOO CH(2)CH(3)), and Fe(CpCOOCH(2)CH(3))(2) are reported. The solid-state structure of Fe(C(5)H(4)CO(2)CH(3))(2) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Fe(C(5)H...

We report in this communication the study of the intramolecular electron transfer through a 2,7-diethynylfluorenyl spacer in the Fe(II)/Fe(III) mixed-valent (MV) complex [(η(2)-dppe)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))FeC≡C(2,7-C(21)H(24))C≡CFe(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))(η(2)-dppe)][PF(6)] (1[PF(6)]). The complex is generated in situ by comproportionation from its homovalent dinuclear Fe(II) and Fe(III) parents (1 and 1[PF(6...

Thiobacillus denitrificans is a chemolithoautotrophic bacterium capable of anaerobic, nitrate-dependent U(IV) and Fe(II) oxidation, both of which can strongly influence the long-term efficacy of in situ reductive immobilization of uranium in contaminated aquifers. We previously identified two c-type cytochromes involved in nitrate-dependent U(IV) oxidation in T. denitrificans and hypothesized t...

Results of an experimental study using the selection-ion flow tube technique are reported for reactions of bare Fe + and iron containing FeX ÷ cations (X = C6H 6 (or B), c-C5n 5 (or Cp), O, (Cp)2, B 2) with dinitrogen at 294 _+ 3 K and at a helium buffer-gas pressure of 0.35 _+ 0.01 Torr. Fe z, B2Fe + and Cp2Fe + do not react with dinitrogen. A very slow sequential addition of two N z molecules...

In the title compound, [Fe(C(10)H(15))Cl(C(26)H(24)P(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Fe(II) atom is coordinated by two P atoms from a 1,2-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane ligand [Fe-P = 2.2130 (7) and 2.2231 (7) Å], a chloride anion [Fe-Cl = 2.3329 (7) Å] and a penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp*) ligand [Fe-centroid(Cp*) = 1.732 (3) Å] in a typical piano-stool geometry. In the crystal structure, the compl...

The electron transfer (ET) reaction between bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) ([Fe(II)(C(5)H(5))2]) in 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) and hexacyanoferrate redox couple ([Fe(II/III)(CN)6](4-/3-)) in water (W) at the interface has been studied by using cyclic voltammetry. The voltammetric results can be explained well by a theoretical equation for the so-called IT-mechanism, in which a homogeneous ET r...

Geobacter species are important Fe(III) reducers in a diversity of soils and sediments. Mechanisms for Fe(III) oxide reduction have been studied in detail in Geobacter sulfurreducens, but a number of the most thoroughly studied outer surface components of G. sulfurreducens, particularly c-type cytochromes, are not well conserved among Geobacter species. In order to identify cellular components ...

Mono and bis hexamethylenetetramine iron(III) chloride, Fe(N C ,H ) CI (I) and Fe(N C ,H ) Cl (II) were synthesized by the reaction of iron(III) chloride and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) in chloroform. Chemical analysis and spectral results show the coordination of HMTA to the iron(III). Electronic transition spectra of compound I and I1 were also studied in coordinating and noncoordinatin...

We quantified the relationships among the specific growth rate, intracellular iron content, and steady state iron uptake rate for cultures of the marine diazotrophic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium (IMS 101) grown under differing conditions of Fe and N availability. The Fe quotas necessary to support a moderately Fe-limited growth rate (70% mmax) of 0.1 d21 under diazotrophy and ammonium were 38 a...
