Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
copper study on reaction of copper(II)-nitrito complexes with tridentate and tetradentate, with either O,O'-bidentate or O-unidentate modes of nitrite binding to the cupric center . Differing modes of nitrite coordination to the copper(II) ion lead to differing kinetic behavior synthetic construct
Iron study on the reducing ability of the ferrous heme center, using two different tetraarylporphyrinate-iron(II) complexes, one with electron-donating paramethoxy peripheral substituents and the other with electron withdrawing 2,6-difluorophenyl substituents. The ferrous heme gives in all cases the reducing equivalent required to convert nitrite to nitric oxide, but the reduction ability of the heme center does not play a key role in the observed overall reaction rate synthetic construct
