Transitions, Transition States, Transition State Analogues: Zinc Pyrazolylborate Chemistry Related to Zinc Enzymes
TL;DR: The Freiburg enzyme model as mentioned in this paper was developed to simulate the protein environment by attachment of the metal to three heterocyclic nitrogen donors of a trispyrazolyl)borate ligand and by encapsulation of zinc by the three substituents R attached at the 3-positions of the pyrazole rings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mononuclear zinc hydroxide complex stabilized by a highly substituted tris(pyrazolyl)hydroborato ligand: analogies with the enzyme carbonic anhydrase
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfur Atoms as Ligands in Metal Complexes
TL;DR: The types of sulfur bonding that occur in the molecules of maingroup elements are almost unknown in the chemistry of metal complexes, where the sulfur atoms function instead as two-electron donors as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why does nature use zinc--a personal view.
TL;DR: In this perspective some results from the work by the author's research group on the coordination chemistry of zinc are presented, selected so as to highlight the principles which make zinc unique in its ability to function as the catalytic center for an ever-increasing number of biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mono- and dinuclear zinc(II) complexes of biological relevance. Crystal structures of [L2Zn](PF6)2, [L'Zn(O2CPh)2(H2O)], [L'2Zn2(.mu.-OH)2](ClO4)2, and [L'2Zn2(.mu.-OH)(.mu.-CH3CO2)2](ClO4).cntdot.H2O (L = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, L' = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)

TL;DR: The crystal structure of [L 2 Zn] 2+ has been determined in this paper, where the macrocycle 1,4,7-triazacyclonononane (C 6 H 15 N 3 ; L) reacts with Zn(II) ions in methanolic solution forming the 2:1 species.
