Bioinorganic

There is a growing interest in modeling transition metals because of its applicability to catalysts, bioinorganics, materials science, and traditional inorganic chemistry. Unfortunately, transition metals tend to be extremely difficult to model. This is so because of a number of effects that are important to correctly describing these compounds. The problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of computational methods have been created, tested, and optimized for organic molecules. Some of the techniques that work well for organics perform poorly for more technically difficult transition metal systems.

Complexes of molybdenum and tungsten with bidentate sulfur ligands have been investigated extensively. In recent years, the work in this field has been escalated by the impetus of designing models of such bioinorganic enzymes as nitrogenase and xanthine oxidase (125). The early work reviewed by Coucouvanis (1) dealt exclusively with the isolation of oxomolybdenum(V) and -(VI) species.
