1 monoxide complexes

Organometallic Compounds. Mononuclear carbon monoxide complexes of palladium are relatively uncommon because of palladium s high labihty, tendency to be reduced, and competing migratory insertion reactions in the presence of a Pd—C bond (201). A variety of multinuclear compounds... 

A flow diagram for the system is shown in Figure 5. Feed gas is dried, and ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed to prevent the irreversible buildup of insoluble salts in the system. Water and soHds formed by trace ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed in the solvent maintenance section (96). The pretreated carbon monoxide feed gas enters the absorber where it is selectively absorbed by a countercurrent flow of solvent to form a carbon monoxide complex with the active copper salt. The carbon monoxide-rich solution flows from the bottom of the absorber to a flash vessel where physically absorbed gas species such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane are removed. The solution is then sent to the stripper where the carbon monoxide is released from the complex by heating and pressure reduction to about 0.15 MPa (1.5 atm). The solvent is stripped of residual carbon monoxide, heat-exchanged with the stripper feed, and pumped to the top of the absorber to complete the cycle.

For small-molecule, metal-carbon monoxide complexes, the carbon monoxide ligand is almost always in a linear conformation and perpendicular to the metal. If one assumed bonding of CO to Hb or Mb in its normal linear, perpendicular mode, steric conflicts as illustrated in Figure 4.20 would occur and thus one might predict... 

The product is exclusively carbon monoxide, and good turnover numbers are found in preparative-scale electrolysis. Analysis of the reaction orders in CO2 and AH suggests the mechanism depicted in Scheme 4.6. After generation of the iron(O) complex, the first step in the catalytic reaction is the formation of an adduct with one molecule of CO2. Only one form of the resulting complex is shown in the scheme. Other forms may result from the attack of CO2 on the porphyrin, since all the electronic density is not necessarily concentrated on the iron atom [an iron(I) anion radical and an iron(II) di-anion mesomeric forms may mix to some extent with the form shown in the scheme, in which all the electronic density is located on iron]. Addition of a weak Bronsted acid stabilizes the iron(II) carbene-like structure of the adduct, which then produces the carbon monoxide complex after elimination of a water molecule. The formation of carbon monoxide, which is the only electrolysis product, also appears in the cyclic voltammogram. The anodic peak 2a, corresponding to the reoxidation of iron(II) into iron(III) is indeed shifted toward a more negative value, 2a, as it is when CO is added to the solution. 

Another possibility is that the direct dissociation of the oxygen is more sensitive to strain than in the carbon monoxide complexes and is simply more efficient and competitively dominant over the pseudo four-coordinate pathway.

The binding of sulfur and/or an activated intermediate of the phosphorus-containing portion of the parathion molecule to the endoplasmic reticulum leads to a decrease in the amount of cytochrome P-450 detectable as its carbon monoxide complex and to a decrease in the rate of metabolism of substrates such as benz-phetamine ( 19). Neither paraoxon nor any other isolatable metabolite of parathion decreases the amount of cytochrome P-450 or inhibits the ability of microsomes to metabolize substrates such a benzphetamine (19).

Carbon monoxide has 14 electrons, which pair to give a net spin of zero. Carbon monoxide complexes of transition metals, like oxygen complexes, cannot convert an even electron system to an odd electron system. In the case of iron, CO usually binds only to ferrous ions, which have six 3d electrons. As a consequence, CO complexes and O2 complexes with iron-containing proteins are generally not detectable by EPR. 

The most numerous and most complex monooxygenation reactions are those employing a type of heme protein called cytochrome P-450. This cytochrome is usually present in the smooth ER rather than the mitochondria. Like mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, cytochrome P-450 can react with 02 and bind carbon monoxide, but it can be differentiated from cytochrome oxidase because the carbon monoxide complex of its reduced form absorbs light strongly at 450 ran—thus the name P-450.

Knowing that carbon monoxide complexes of hemes are dissociated by light, Warburg and Negelein, in 1928, determined the photochemical action spectrum (see Chapter 23) for reversal of the carbon monoxide inhibition of respiration of the yeast Torula utilis. The spectrum closely resembled the absorption spectrum of known heme derivatives (Fig. 16-7). Thus, it was proposed that 02, as well as CO, combines with the iron of the heme group in the Atmungsferment. 

Organometallic Compounds. Mononuclear carbon monoxide complexes of palladium are relatively uncommon because of palladium s high lability, tendency to be reduced, and competing migratory insertion reactions in the presence of a Pd—C bond (201). A variety of multinuclear compounds are known (202), including [Pd2Cl4(CO)2] [75991-68-3], [Pd3(P(C6H5)3)3(CO)3] [36642-60-1], and [Pd7(P(CH3)3)7(p3-CO)3(p2-CO)4] [83632-51-3].
