Ligands favored

Effects of acid strength and anion concentration have been studied as well as the effect of monodentate amines.564,565 Phosphines, in particular dppp, have been used as favorable ligands,566,567 but it has been shown that dppp is oxidized by nitrobenzene under the prevailing conditions.568 Giant clusters and heteropolyanions have been used.569,570 The role of nitroso...

Recent research has focussed on the problem of favoring ligand substitution by several methods. 

Even CO2 can be rapidly reduced to CO and carbonate, and CO incorporates in the coordination sphere of the metal at the 19-electron level whose very favorable ligand substitution properties are well known (Scheme 19). 

The location of the atoms that protrude into the solvent clearly points to this segment of ALBP as a favored ligand entry point. Near the alleged portal in ALBP, P2, and IFABP is a phenylalanine side chain. Crystallographic studies of the apo, the stearate, and the oleate complex of ALBP revealed that one side chain, Phe-57, was located in different positions in the different crystal forms depending on the presence of ligand (Xu et ai, 1993). The comparisons are shown in stereo in Fig. 11. Similarly in the P2 study, there are three molecules in the asymmetric unit. Two have Phe-57 in one conformation one molecule has it in another conformation that differs primarily by a Xi change. 

What is the ratio of the concentration of T-state proteins with one ligand bound to the concentration of R-state proteins with one ligand bound The dissociation constant tor a single site in the R state is K[<. For a protein with n sites, there are n possible sites for the first ligand to bind. This statistical factor favors ligand binding compared with a single-site protein. Thus, [R J =... 

The intramolecular insertion of alkynes into a Pd-C bond has been observed and kinetically studied. The reaction involves a pre-equilibrium substitution of a phosphine ligand by the alkyne moiety, followed by rate determining insertion in a four-coordinate intermediate (Scheme 6.42). The longer the spacer chain (n) the more favorable ligand substitution K = 2.0(9) for = 2 versus K = 4.40(2) for n = 3) although the opposite is observed for the insertion step ( 2 = 7(3) for n = 2 versus k2 = 0.301(2) for n = 3). It seems that the short chain alkyne intermediate (n = 2) is strained enough to deviate from the usual perpendicular arrangement and adopts a conformation that places the alkyne closer to coplanarity and to the insertion transition state [133].
