Pyrazole, a neutral nitrogen ligand and an isomer of imidazole, has been used as a fifth ligand to prepare two new species, [Fe(TPP)(Hdmpz)] and [Fe(Tp-OCH(3)PP)(Hdmpz)] (Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole), the first structurally characterized examples of five-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates with a nonimidazole neutral ligand. Both complexes are characterized by X-ray crystallography, and structures show common features for five-coordinate iron(II) species, such as an expanded porphyrinato core, large equatorial Fe-N(p) bond distances, and a significant out-of-plane displacement of the iron(II) atom. The Fe-N(pyrazole) and Fe-N(p) bond distances are similar to those in imidazole-ligated species. These suggest that the coordination abilities to iron(II) for imidazole and pyrazole are very similar even though pyrazole is less basic than imidazole. Mössbauer studies reveal that [Fe(TPP)(Hdmpz)] has the same behavior as those of imidazole-ligated species, such as negative quadrupole splitting values and relative large asymmetry parameters. Both the structures and the Mössbauer spectra suggest pyrazole-ligated five-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates have the same electronic configuration as imidazole-ligated species.

Mössbauer parameters of low-spin six-coordinate [Fe(II)(Por)L] complexes (where Por is a synthetic porphyrin; L is a nitrogenous aliphatic, an aromatic base or a heterocyclic ligand, a P-bonding ligand, CO or CN) and low-spin [Fe(Por)LX] complexes (where L and X are different ligands) are reported. A known point charge calculation approach was extended to investigate how the axial ligands and the four porphyrinato-N atoms generate the observed quadrupole splittings (ΔE) for the complexes. Partial quadrupole splitting (p.

Efficient photocatalytic CO reduction coupled with the photosynthesis of pure HO is a challenging and significant task. Herein, using classical CO photoreduction site iron porphyrinate as the linker, Ag(I) clusters were spatially separated and evenly distributed within a new metal-organic framework (MOF), namely AgTPyP-Fe. With water as electron donors, AgTPyP-Fe exhibited remarkable performances in artificial photosynthetic overall reaction with CO yield of 36.

We prepare iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with polydentate ligands that contain quinols, which can act as electron proton transfer mediators. Although the iron(II) complex with -(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,','-tris(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp1) is inactive as an electrocatalyst, iron complexes with ,'-bis(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp2) and -(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp3) were found to be much more active and more selective for water production than a previously reported cobalt-Hqp1 electrocatalyst while operating at low overpotentials. The catalysts with Hqp3 can enter the catalytic cycle as either Fe(II) or Fe(III) species; entering the cycle through Fe(III) lowers the effective overpotential.

We designed a tris-catecholate-based siderophore mimic, H-T-CATL, to selectively chelate iron(III) from mitochondrial cytochromes and other iron-containing proteins within cellular matrices. This strategic sequestration aims to trigger apoptosis or ferroptosis in cancer cells through the glutathione (GSH)-dependent release of reduced iron and subsequent ROS-mediated cytotoxicity. Synthesis of H-T-CATL involved precise peptide coupling reactions.

We present a novel implementation of the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method that makes use of the many-body expanded full configuration interaction (MBE-FCI) method to incrementally approximate electronic structures within large active spaces. On the basis of a hybrid first-order algorithm employing both Super-CI and quasi-Newton strategies for the optimization of molecular orbitals, we demonstrate both computational efficacy and high accuracy of the resulting MBE-CASSCF method. We assess the performance of our implementation on a set of established numerical tests before applying MBE-CASSCF in the investigation of the triplet-quintet spin gap of iron(II) porphyrin with active spaces as large as 50 electrons in 50 orbitals.
