Q’-Complexes

Anhydrous silver fluoroborate [1404-20-2] is made by the addition of BP gas to a suspension of AgP ia ethylbenzene (90). An AgBP CgH Q complex is precipitated with pentane and the complex is washed with pentane to give anhydrous AgBP. ... 

Rhodium(—I) complexes, 4,904,905 Rhodium(Q) complexes, 4,905,906 triphenylphosphine, 4,905 Rhodium(I) complexes, 4,906-929 anionic, 4,906 bidentate anions... 

The isomerization mechanism is clearly established by labeling experiments. The rearrangement of a to c via a 7i-allyl hydride complex b in the coordination sphere of the metal is a key step in this cayalytic cycle (Scheme 54) [174, 175]. hi case of polyunsaturated derivatives, formation of a stable q" complexes (Scheme 55) is preferred over the rearrangement (a c). 

If these reactions are carried out in CS2, fullerene-Lewis acid complexes precipitate [91], The complexation behavior of Cjq and C q is different, with C q complexing much more strongly than Cjq. This phenomenon was taken advantage of in separating the fullerene mixtures. Other Lewis acids that form CSj-insoluble complexes are AlBrj, TiCl4, SnCl4 and FeClj. The parent fullerenes can be recovered from the Lewis acid complexes by reaction with ice water [92]. 

Some other covalently bound porphyrin-acceptor complexes such as por-phyrin-viologen [68-73] and pyromellitimide-bridged porphyrins [74, 75] have been synthesized and studied. As in the case of P-Q complexes, strong fluorescence quenching and ion radical pair formation were observed in these systems under irradiation of complexes in porphyrin absorption bands. 

Figure 17.2. Respiratory chain. Electrons flow through Complex I (I)/Complex II (II), ubiquinone (Q), Complex III (III), cytochrome c (CytC), and Complex IV (IV) and protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space.

Figure 4.9 Basic compulsory-order ternary-complex mechanism. The basic ordered mechanism for the general reaction A + B P + Q, with a = [A], b = [B], p = [P], and q = [Q] is illustrated. The four states are unbound enzyme (E), enzyme-substrate A complex (E-A), enzyme-substrate A-substrate B complex (E-AB), and enzyme-product Q complex (E-Q).

II) center should occur to yield the Cu —Q complex. The complexation of Q with Zn(II) ion in [Cu Q)Zn bdpi)] may also facilitate an intramolecular ET from the Cu(I) center to Q" bound to the Zn(II) center (Scheme 26). Thus, the Zn(II) ion also plays the essential role in facilitating the ET reduction Q"... 

Numerous theoretical studies have addressed the problem of alkane transition metal complexes.- " In the first theoretical investigation for [Cr(CO)s] and [CpRh(CO)] fragments, Saillard and HoffmaiiiV proposed an q complex, although an r -C,H tilted coordination mode was also possible. For the structure of the intermediate [CpRh(CO)(CH4)] complex. Song and Hall predicted an r 2-C,// interaction, which is very similar to the structure of Cp qih(C,H ) [BF4] characterized by XRD. Most of the subsequent studies showed that the... 

A comparison of the standard harmonic oscillator spectrum with the corresponding g-deformed oscillator spectra for q real and q complex is given in Fig. (2)-... 

Fagan studied the reaction of C o with the complex [Cp Ru(CH3CN)3] and found that it did not lose all three molecules of acetonitrile to form a q -complex as observed for aromatic systems, but rather gave a Tj -olefin complex by releasing just one ligand of acetonitrile. With some sufficiently nucleophihc hydrido... 

The complexation of C q, discussed above for the solid state, has also been investigated in solution. First observed in aqueous solution with a water soluble calixarene, a complex in toluene with =110 has been demonstrated using the triply-bridged calix[6]arene 211 as the host moleeule. An even tighter complex is formed with the calix[5]arene 278 (X = I), with a assoc = 2120 M " Mn toluene. " With 278 (X = Me or H) the values fall to 1673 M and 588 M" S respectively, and the K soc values in other solvents, particularly CS2 and o-dichlorobenzene, also fall considerably. A survey of 28 calixarenes produced a similar conclusion, viz that the calix[5]arene system is particularly well suited for C q complexation. ... 

Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) - Complex II is not in the path traveled by electrons from Complex I (Figure 15.3). Instead, it is a point of entry of electrons from FADH2 produced by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase in the citric acid cycle. Both complexes I and II donate their electrons to the same acceptor, coenzyme Q. Complex II, like complex I, contains iron-sulfur proteins, which participate in electron transfer. It is also called succinate-coenzyme Q reductase because its electrons reduce coenzyme Q.
