A chemical absorption-biological reduction integrated process can be used to remove nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas. In such a process, nitric oxide (NO) can be effectively absorbed by the ferrous chelate of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Fe(II)EDTA) to form Fe(II)EDTA-NO, which can be biologically regenerated by denitrifying bacteria. However, in the course of these processes, part of the Fe...

Two bimetallic assemblies K[Cu(cyclam)][Fe(CN)6] 4H2O 1 and [Cu(L)][Cu(L )][Fe(CN)6] 6.5H2O 2 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; L = N,N -bis(2-pyridylmethylene)-1,3-propanediamine and L = N-2-pyridylmethylene-1,3-propanediamine) have been prepared from the reaction of [Fe(CN)6] 3 and the precursors [Cu(cyclam)] and [Cu(L)] , respectively, and their structure and magnetic properties s...

The reaction of N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiethanol (H2pmide) and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O in MeOH led to the formation of a dimeric iron(III) complex, [(Hpmide)Fe(NO3)]2(NO3)2·2CH3OH (1). Its anion-exchanged form, [(pmide)Fe(N3)]2 (2), was prepared by the reaction of 1and NaN3 in MeOH, during which the Hpmide ligand of 1 was also deprotonated. These compounds were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffr...

The structure of the title compound, [Fe(2)(C(17)H(16)N(2)O(2))(2)(OH)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)N, consists of centrosymmetric dimeric units in which crystallographically equivalent Fe(III) ions are doubly bridged by hydroxide groups. Each Fe(III) center in the complex has a six-coordinated distorted cis-FeN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry.

A recent study (D. C. Cooper, F. W. Picardal, A. Schimmelmann, and A. J. Coby, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69:3517-3525, 2003) has shown that NO(3)(-) and NO(2)(-) (NO(x)(-)) reduction by Shewanella putrefaciens 200 is inhibited in the presence of goethite. The hypothetical mechanism offered to explain this finding involved the formation of a Fe(III) (hydr)oxide coating on the cell via the surfac...

MagSaki software was developed for the magnetic analysis of dinuclear high-spin cobalt(II) complexes. This software performs magnetic analysis to determine magnetic parameters using several types of theoretical calculations, such as the following: (1) a mononuclear complex in an isotropic octahedral field, (2) a mononuclear complex in an axially distorted octahedral field, (3) a dinuclear compl...

A heme model system has been developed in which the heme-propionate is the only proton donating/accepting site, using protoporphyrin IX-monomethyl esters (PPIX(MME)) and N-methylimidazole (MeIm). Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of these model compounds have been examined in acetonitrile solvent. (PPIX(MME))Fe(III)(MeIm)(2)-propionate (Fe(III)~CO(2)) is readily reduced by the a...

New insights into the structural, electronic and catalytic properties of Fe complexes are provided by a density functional theory study of model as well as real [Fe(II)(H)(2)(diphosphine)(diamine)] systems. Calculations conducted using several different functionals on the trans- and cis-isomers of [Fe(II)(H)(2)(S-xylbinap)(S,S-dpen)] complexes show that, as with the [Ru(II)(H)(2)(diphosphine)(d...

A series of unprecedented organoiron complexes of the formal oxidation states -2, 0, +1, +2, and +3 is presented, which are largely devoid of stabilizing ligands and, in part, also electronically unsaturated (14-, 16-, 17- and 18-electron counts). Specifically, it is shown that nucleophiles unable to undergo beta-hydride elimination, such as MeLi, PhLi, or PhMgBr, rapidly reduce Fe(3+) to Fe(2+...
