Reported are the synthesis and structure of the anionic intermetalloid cluster [Bi12Ni7(CO)4](4-). It was synthesized from the known smaller clusters Bi3Ni4(CO)6(3-), Bi3Ni6(CO)9(3-), and Ni@Bi6Ni6(CO)8(4-) by their aggregation as a result of thermal deligation and oxidation. The new cluster is structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the compound (K[crypt])4[Bi12Ni7(CO)4] (1), and its presence in solution is confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. It can be viewed as composed of a Ni-centered icosahedral core of Bi6Ni6(CO)4 where two diametrically opposed Ni atoms are capped by Bi3 triangles. However, its electron count is rationalized based on a structure made of fused tetrahedra.

Nitrosylated ferric heme is autoreduced readily to the more stable Fe(II)-NO adduct, but it is stabilized in NO-carrier heme proteins where maintaining the Fe(III) oxidation state is crucial for efficient NO delivery. Density functional theory calculations by Lehnert and co-workers have shown that a NO-bound ferric model heme has a low-spin (LS) Fe(III)-NO(radical) state that might be critical for efficient NO transport by NO-carrier heme proteins. Recently, the elusive LS Fe(III)-NO(radical) state was observed as an electronic intermediate state during geminate rebinding (GR) of NO to ferric myoglobin (Mb(III)).

Femtosecond vibrational spectroscopy was used to investigate the photoexcitation dynamics of NO-bound ferric myoglobin (Mb(III)NO) in D2O solution at 294 K after excitation with a 575 nm pulse. The stretching mode of NO in Mb(III)NO consists of a major band at 1922 cm(-1) (97.7%) and a minor band at 1902 cm(-1) (2.

The infrared (IR) absorption of the amide I band for the loop structure may overlap with that of the alpha-helices, which can lead to the misassignment of the protein secondary structures. A resolution-enhanced Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic method and temperature-jump (T-jump) time-resolved IR absorbance difference spectra were used to identify one specific loop absorption from the helical IR absorption bands of horse heart cytochrome c in D2O at a pD around 7.0.

The photodissociation of CO from HbCO at ambient temperature is studied by means of a femtosecond IR technique. The bleaching of the FeCO absorption and the appearance of a new IR absorption near that of free CO are both observed at 300 fs after optical excitation. The bleach does not recover on the time scale of a few picoseconds but does recover by approximately 4% within 1 ns, which suggests that a barrier to recombination is formed within a few picoseconds.
