Some reactions of R3SnM(CO)5 (M = Mn, Re) with CH3CN or pyridine were investigated to give complexes R3SnMn(CO)3LL' or R3SnMn(CO)4L by a facile mild method.

X-ray diffractions analyses show that, in contrast to the phosphine ligand occupying in axial position, nitrogen ligands occupy equatorial position.展开更多

The heterobimetallic cobalt-copper complex bearing three benzimidazole ligands for copper, as cytochrome c oxidase active site model, was applied to the surface of glassy carbon electrode to show electrocatalytic activity for O 2 reduction in aqueous solution at an acidity level close to physiological pH value. The kinetic parameters of this electrocatalytic process were obtained.展开更多
The mononuclear cryptate [Eu(H 3L F)(NO 3)(H 2O)](NO 3) 2 and the heterodinuclear cryptate [EuZnL F(DMF)](ClO 4) 2 were synthesized and characterized.

The triplet state energy of the cryptand (H 3L F) was studied by phosphorescence spectrum. The fluorescent properties of Eu(Ⅲ) cryptates in MeOH solution show that the cryptand (H 3L F) can sensitize the Eu(Ⅲ) ion to luminescence and the introduction of the Zn(Ⅱ) ion into the mononuclear Eu(Ⅲ) cryptate resulted in blue shift of three ligand centered bands, increase of molar absorption coefficient and increase of the luminescence intensity of Eu(Ⅲ).展开更多

Study on the structure of the active site and the mechanism of catalysis has drawn great attention because the results may be useful for the design of cheap biomimetic hydrogen catalysts for fuel cells, or as model for the photoproduction of H\-2. At one time the active site was generally considered to be composed of mononuclear nickel complex with ligands from the polypeptide. A breakthrough in the understanding of the structure of Hases occurred with the resolution crystal structure of D. gigas Hases in 1995. The unexpected result challenged the previously reported spectroscopic studies and caused some academic arguments. Some methods and results used for insight into Hases have to be reconsidered. Different viewpoints concerning the structure of active site of Hases in different periods and some remaining questions will be presented.展开更多
