    Photosynthetic splitting of water into oxygen by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria is catalyzed by the oxygen-evolving center (OEC). Synthetic mimics of the OEC, which is composed of an asymmetric manganese-calcium-oxygen cluster bound to protein groups, may promote insight into the structural and chemical determinants of biological water oxidation and lead to development of superior catalysts for artificial photosynthesis. We synthesized a Mn4Ca-cluster similar to the native OEC in both the metal-oxygen core and the binding protein groups. Like the native OEC, the synthetic cluster can undergo four redox transitions and shows two magnetic resonance signals assignable to redox and structural isomerism. Comparison with previously synthesized Mn3CaO4-cubane clusters suggests that the fourth Mn ion determines redox potentials and magnetic properties of the native OEC.

    OECモデルとなる錯体の報告です。キュバン型クラスタの頂点の一つがMnからCaに置き換わった報告が2013年のAgapieらのサイエンスでしたが、さらにクラスタ外のMnまで再現したフループが現れました。Agapieらは良くデザインされた三回対称性の配位子を使い、精密にクラスタを合成しましたが、このグループの合成法は、ピバル酸とMn、Caをグツグツにるだけで作っている所も驚きです。いちおう4電子分のレドックス能ももつようです。

    Rhenium(V)–oxo corrolazines: isolating redox-active ligand reactivity

    Jan Paulo T. Zaragoza,a   Maxime A. Sieglera and   David P. Goldberg* Chem. Commun., 2015, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C5CC07956J Received 22 Sep 2015, Accepted 15 Oct 2015 First published online 28 Oct 2015 http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cc/c5cc07956j#!divAbstract Abstract The synthesis of the first example of a third-row metallocorrolazine characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction is reported. This ReV(O) porphyrinoid complex shows an exclusively ligand-based reactivity with strong acids and oxidizing agents. The one-electron oxidized π-radical-cation complex is capable of H-atom abstraction.

Chem., 2015, 54 (21), pp 10141–10152 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.5b01500 Publication Date (Web): October 12, 2015 A family of imine-based nonheme iron(II) complexes (LX)2Fe(OTf)2 has been prepared, characterized, and employed as C–H oxidation catalysts. Ligands LX (X = 1, 2, 3, and 4) stand for tridentate imine ligands resulting from spontaneous condensation of 2-pycolyl-amine and 4-substituted-2-picolyl aldehydes. Fast and quantitative formation of the complex occurs just upon mixing aldehyde, amine, and Fe(OTf)2 in a 2:2:1 ratio in acetonitrile solution. The solid-state structures of (L1)2Fe(OTf)(ClO4) and (L3)2Fe(OTf)2 are reported, showing a low-spin octahedral iron center, with the lig...
