Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The use of rigid, idealized hexagons in X-ray refinement can give misleading values for the MC bond length as discussed by the authors, and the distortions are larger in metal-C6F5 complexes, where the relevant CCCC angle can be as low as 109°.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structures of two forms of [Ag(C6F5)(CH2PPh3] have been established, which differ mainly in the orientation of one phenyl ring.
Abstract: Monomeric silver ylide complexes [Ag(C6F5)(CH2ER3)](ER3= PPh3, PPh2Me, PPhMe2, or AsPh3) can be prepared by the reaction of Ag(CF3CO2) with Li(C6F5) and [ER3Me][CF3CO2]. The free ylides CH2PPh3, CH2PPh2Me, or CH(CO2Me)PPh3 react with Ag(C6F5) or AgClO4 to afford [Ag(C6F5)(ylide)] or [Ag(CH2PPh3)2]ClO4 respectively. Several novel ylide-transfer reactions from silver ylides to other silver or gold centres are reported. The structures of two forms of [Ag(C6F5)(CH2PPh3)] have been established. The molecules differ mainly in the orientation of one phenyl ring. The C6F5 groups are highly distorted at the ipso carbon [C–C–C 113.1 (5) and 112.5(5)°].

TL;DR: AuCI{P(C6H5)(C10HgFe)2} was obtained as a brown powder from the reaction of carbonylgold(I) chloride with diferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphine in benzene, and recrystallized from dichloromethane/petrol ether as orange to red plates as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: AuCI{P(C6H5)(C10HgFe)2}), M r= 710.5, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 10.205 (2), b = 18.014 (4), c=12.680(3)A, fl=98.29(2) ° , V=2306.5A 3, Z --- 4, Dx= 2.04 Mg m -3, 2(Mo Ka) = 0.71069/~, # = 7.8 mm -1, F(000) = 1368, T= 293 K. The structure was refined to R 0.035 for 3523 unique observed reflections. The coordination geometry at the Au atom is linear, with Au-C1 2.289 (2), Au-P 2.234 (2)/~, C1-Au-P 176.1 (1)% There are no unusually short intermolecular contacts. The Fe-C distances lie in the range 2.025 (8)-2.058 (8)/~, mean 2.041 (8)./k. The C5H 4 rings of the ferrocene moieties are approximately ecliosed (rotated by 12, 14 °, respectively). Experimental. The title compound was obtained as a brown powder from the reaction of carbonylgold(I) chloride with diferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphine in benzene, and recrystallized from dichloromethane/petrol ether as orange to red plates. A full elemental analysis con- firmed the expected composition. A crystal 0.55 x 0.35 x 0.15 mm was mounted in a glass capillary. 5761 profile-fitted intensities (Clegg, 1981) were registered on a Stoe-Siemens four-circle diffractometer using monochromated Mo Ka radiation (20ma x 50 °, quadrant -h+k+l and some +h equiv- alents). An absorption correction based on ~, scans was applied, with transmission factors 0.34 to 0.99. The intensities of 3 check reflections showed no significant variation. Merging equivalents gave 4045 unique reflections (Rin t 0"026, index ranges h-12 to + 12, k 0 to 21, 10 to 15), 3530 with F > 4a(F). Cell constants were refined from 20 values of 40 reflections in the range 20-23 o. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method and subjected to full-matrix least-squares refinement on F. All non-H atoms were refined anisotropically; H atoms were included using a riding model. The final R value was 0.0352, wR 0.0412 for 280 parameters, 3523 reflections (seven low-angle reflections were omitted because of extinction effects). The weighting scheme was w-i= tr2(F)+ 0.0004F 2. Max. shift/e.s.d. = 0.003, max. residual electron density within +1.0 e A -3 near Au, S = 1.52. The program system was SHELX (Sheldrick, 1986), locally modified by its

TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure of Pb{Au(OCOCH₃)₄}₂·2H₆O shows that it is isostructural to the strontium salt, consisting of molecular units with crystallographic symmetry 2.
Abstract: Various salts M(AuX₄)₂ with X = OCOCH₃ or OCOC₂H₅ have been prepared by two methods: (i) the reaction of metal hydroxides M(OH)₂ with HAuCl₄, followed by treatment of the intermediate products with acetic or propionic acid, or (ii) the reaction of aurates M{Au(OH)₄}₂ with the carboxylic acids. The crystal structure of Pb{Au(OCOCH₃)₄}₂·2H₂O shows that it is isostructural to the strontium salt, consisting of molecular units Pb{Au(OCOCH₃)₄}₂ with crystallographic symmetry 2. The water of crystallization forms neither coordinate bonds to a metal nor hydrogen bonds. In the analogous zinc salt the water is coordinated to the zinc atom, and the structure is a layer polymer. The two compounds that crystallize in anhydrous form. Ba{Au(OCOCH₃)₄}₂ and Pb{Au(OCOC₂H₅)₄}₂, have not yet yielded crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it is proposed that coproferrihaem compound I undergoes a rate-determining reaction with water, probably involving nucleophilic attack at the porphyrin meso positions, to form species which are susceptible to rapid oxidative attack by other Compound I molecules.
Abstract: Coprohaem Compound I, formed by oxidation of coproferrihaem {[3,8,13,17-tetramethylporphyrin-2,7,12,18-tetrapropionato(6–)-N21,N22,N23,N24]ferrate(3–)} with peroxyacids in reactions of 1 : 1 stoicheiometry, decomposes in aqueous solution in the absence of added reductants. The reaction is biphasic and follows series first-order kinetics. The formation of a coprohaem Compound II intermediate has been implicated. When the initial ratio of [peroxyacid] : [coproferrihaem] was ⩽ 1, an approximately constant proportion (75–80%) of the Compound I initially formed was reduced back to coproferrihaem and the remainder was converted into products which were non-absorbing in the Soret and visible spectral regions. It is proposed that coproferrihaem Compound I undergoes a rate-determining reaction with water, probably involving nucleophilic attack at the porphyrin meso positions, to form species which are susceptible to rapid oxidative attack by other Compound I molecules and resulting in the reduction of 3–4 molecules of Compound I for each molecule of Compound I oxidatively destroyed.

TL;DR: Coproferrihaem (cfh) reacts very rapidly with peroxybenzoic acids at pH = 6.0 in aqueous solution, in processes of 1 : 1 stoicheiometry, to form a spectroscopically distinct oxidised derivative coprohaem Compound I (ch-I), which is stable on the stopped-flow time-scale.
Abstract: Coproferrihaem (cfh) reacts very rapidly with peroxybenzoic acids at pH = 6.0 in aqueous solution, in processes of 1 : 1 stoicheiometry, to form a spectroscopically distinct oxidised derivative coprohaem Compound I (ch-I), which is stable on the stopped-flow time-scale. The rate constants for ch-I formation are comparable to those for the formation of horse radish peroxidase Compound I with peroxybenzoic acids. The Soret band absorption spectrum of ch-I is independent of initial [cfh] and [peroxyacid] with R, the ratio [peroxyacid] : [cfh], in the range 1 99% monomer under the conditions employed, the absorption spectra at R < I suggest limited dimer formation between ch-I and unoxidised cfh. Coprohaem Compound I exhibits powerful peroxidatic oxidant properties. In particular ch-I is reduced by methanol, ethanol, and propargyl alcohol (prop-2-yn-1-ol) with rate constants that parallel in sequence those with catalase Compound I, although the enzymatic intermediate reactions are 102–104 times faster than those with ch-I.
