Schmalz and co-workers utilized the 4/Pd-catalyzed arylation to prepare several novel chiral bidentate ligands [45]. For example, the arylation of AT-me-thylpiperazine below proceeded in 95% yield to furnish the desired ligand building block, Eq. (15). 

Singer and Buchwald found that the catalyst derived from DPEphos (19) was optimal for the arylation of the triflate derived from BINOL shown below, Eq. (124) [107]. Several useful chiral ligand building blocks were prepared in good to excellent yield.

Thus ligands are often incrementally built within the active site. The principle of the FlexX algorithm is that, physicochemical properties provide the most useful information for ligand placement. Once a set of favorable placement of the base fragment (the core part of the ligand from where the incremental construction starts) has been computed, the ligand building can be started. The incremental construction is formulated as a tree search (Fig. 14) problem.

In an attempt to deliberately introduce different ligand building blocks into the same species we examined the interaction of with mixtures of the sfable anions a-[PWii039] and a2-[P2W]706]] ° , see Figure 2. 

Once a framework for the availability of iron oxides is established, the kinetics of individual reactions provides insight into reaction rates and rate limiting steps for the overall reactivity of iron. Here, the kinetics of microbial iron oxide reduction is explored and in section 7.4.4.1 analog information are provided for the reduction by sulfide and ligands. Building on previous experimental results demonstrating the control of mineral surface area for the degree of iron reduction (Roden and Zachara 1996 Fig. 7.13), it was shown, that also the rate of microbial iron reduction in natural sediments is of first-order and controlled by the mineral surface area (Roden and Wetzel... 

The tetranuclear clusters are structurally the same as the aforementioned tetranuclear species (Figure 108), but with DBM rather than acac ligands building up the periphery. The pentanuclear clusters have a square pyramidal core (R = Dy, Figure 111). Each triangular face of the...
