    Notes: Abstract The approach of CO2 to a series of active site model complexes of human carbonic anhydrase   II (HCAII) and its catalytic hydration to bicarbonate anion have been investigated using semiempirical MO theory (AM1). The results show that direct nucleophilic attack of zinc-bound hydroxide to the substrate carbon occurs in each model system. Further rearrangement of the bicarbonate complex thus formed via a rotation-like movement of the bicarbonate ligand can only be found in active site model systems that include at least one additional water molecule. Further refinement of the model complex by adding a methanol molecule to mimic Thr-199 makes this process almost activationless. The formation of the final bicarbonate complex by an internal (intramolecular) proton transfer is only possible in the simplest of all model systems, namely {[Im3Zn(OH)]+·CO2}. The energy of activation for this process, however, is 36.8 kcal·mol−1 and thus too high for enzymatic catalysis. Therefore, we conclude that within the limitations of the model systems presented and the level of theory employed, the overall mechanism for the formation of the bicarbonate complex comprises an initial direct nucleophilic attack of zinc-bound hydroxide to carbon dioxide followed by a rotation-like rearrangement of the bicarbonate ligand via a penta-coordinate Zn2+ transition state structure, including the participation of an extra active site water molecule.

    Notes: Abstract  The mechanism of the reduction of pentacyanoferrate(III) complexes by oxymyoglobin has been studied by conventional and high-pressure kinetic methods, and also by structural modelling. The results of this and an earlier study show that an outer-sphere mechanism is operating for electron transfer between oxymyoglobin and FeIII(CN)5L n –, independent of the lability of the ligand L. The electron transfer process is preceded by precursor formation at a specific site on the protein close to the protein heme pocket.

    Notes: Both reaction steps observed for the substitution of water by thiourea in the complexes [Pt(en)(OH2)2]2+ and [Pt(phen)(OH2)2]2+ (en = ethylenediamine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions using the stopped-flow technique. The substitution of the second water molecule in each complex was also studied under high pressure. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants kobs (s-1) obeyed the equation k1,2obs= k1,2[tu] (tu = thiourea), where “1” and “2” refer to the first and the second substitution reactions, respectively. Kinetic parameters associated with the substitution process are: k1en (25.0°C, pH = 3.0, I = 0.1 M) = 25.6 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 51 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -48 J K-1 mol-1; k2en (same conditions) = 12.1 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 30 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -124 J K-1 mol-1, ΔV# = -7 cm3 mol-1; k1phen (25.0°C, pH = 1.0, I = 0.1 M) = 2900 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 41 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -41 J K-1 mol-1; k2phen (same conditions) = 1170 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 37 kJ mol-1, ΔS#= -61 J K-1 mol-1, ΔV# = -5 cm3 mol-1. The temperature and pressure dependence of all the processes studied suggest an associative substitution mechanism. The hydroxo-bridged dinuclear complex [{Pt(phen)(μ-OH)}2]2+ is formed from [Pt(phen)(OH2)2]2+ in aqueous solution unless the solution is very dilute and highly acidic. The X-ray structure of [{Pt(phen)(μ-OH)}2](F3CSO3)2 · 2 H2O was determined. It belongs to the triclinic space group P1­ and has one formula unit in the unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are a = 7.126(5), b = 9.665(5), c = 12.774(7) Å; α = 71.85(5), β = 85.52(5), γ = 73.12(5) deg; V = 799.9(8) Å3. The structure was solved with the Patterson method and refined to R = 0.061. A square planar coordination of the platinum centers is observed, with no deviations from planarity but distortions due to the small bite angle of phen and the four-membered ring. No significant lengthening of the Pt-O bond [mean value: 2.03(1) Å] is observed in comparison with [{Pt(NH3)2(μ-OH)}2]2+.

    Notes: Oxidative photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reactions have been performed with various silyl enol ethers and silyloxy-2H-chromones bearing an olefinic or silylacetylenic side chain. The reactions result in regioselective ring closure with the formation of bi- to tetracyclic ring systems with a well-defined ring juncture, e.g. perhydrophenanthrenones 13 or benzo-annellated xanthenones 24. Our investigations have focussed on the optimization of this cyclization method with regard to irradiation time and product yield. The irradiation times could be reduced by using the cosensitized PET method. Modifying the substrate at the silyl group led to enhanced yields. In addition, we found that solvent and pressure dependences are important tools, allowing control of the regiochemistry. Both the synthesis of 6-endo products by radical cationic reaction pathways, as well as 5-exo ring closure by radical intermediates was achieved. Mechanistic details, including findings from deuterium labelling experiments, are discussed.
