Bioinorganic principles

Ligand preference and possible coordination geometries of the metal center are important bioinorganic principles. Metal ligand preference is closely related to the hard-soft acid-base nature of metals and their preferred ligands. These are listed in Table 1.7.6...

This article presents the principles known so far for the synthesis of metal complexes containing stable carbenes, including the preparation of the relevant carbene precursors. The use of some of these compounds in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions is discussed mainly for ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis and palladium-Znickel-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides, but other reactions will be touched upon as well. Chapters about the properties of metal- carbene complexes, their applications in materials science and medicinal chemistry, and their role in bioinorganic chemistry round the survey off. The focus of this review is on ZV-heterocyclic carbenes, in the following abbreviated as NHC and NHCs, respectively.

The [Fen(CN)5NO]3 ion can be oxidized back to NP in the presence of oxygen (see the reactions of NP with thiolates below) (57,60). Detailed kinetic studies on this important bioinorganic oxidation reaction are not available. In a more general context, the mechanism of the autoxidation reactions of NO complexes awaits a systematic study, which could in principle be afforded with the known (MX5(NO + ) series (M = Fe, Ru or Os X = amines, polypyridines, etc.), if appropriate reductants were used to generate the NO complexes.
