Reduction of d metal-oxo ions of the form [MO(PP) Cl] (M=Mo, W; PP=chelating diphosphine) produces d MO(PP) Cl complexes, which include the first isolated examples in group 6. The stability and reactivity of the MO(PP) Cl compounds are found to depend upon the steric bulk of the phosphine ligands: derivatives with bulky phosphines that shield the oxo ligand are stable enough to be isolated, whereas those with phosphines that leave the oxo ligand exposed are more reactive and observed transiently. Magnetic measurements and DFT calculations on MoO(dppe) Cl indicate the d compounds are low spin with a [(d ) (π*(MoO)) ] configuration. X-ray crystallographic and vibrational-spectroscopic studies on d and d [MoO(dppe) Cl] establish that the d compound possesses a reduced M-O bond order and significantly longer Mo-O bond, accounting for its greater reactivity. These results indicate that the oxo-centered reactivity of d complexes may be controlled through ligand variation.

The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe(BNPAO)(F) () and [Fe(BNPAOH)(F)(THF)](BF) (), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either or led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe(BNPAO)(F)(μ-F)] (), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe(BNPAO)(I) (), was prepared and reacted with O to give the mononuclear complex -Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(I) ().

High-level quantum chemical calculations are performed for the (NH)MO and (NH)MO species (M = Ti-Cu), extending our previous work on the bare MO ions. The potential energy curves along the M-O distance are constructed for the ground and multiple excited electronic states of (NH)MO and are compared to those of MO. We see that ammonia stabilizes the oxo states (MO) over the oxyl (MO) ones.

In Nature, the four-electron reduction of O is catalyzed at preorganized multimetallic active sites. These complex active sites often feature low-coordinate, redox-active metal centers precisely positioned to facilitate rapid O activation processes that obviate the generation of toxic, partially reduced oxygen species. Very few biomimetic constructs simultaneously recapitulate the complexity and reactivity of these biological cofactors.

In Salmonella Typhimurium, efflux pump proteins, such as AcrD actively expel drugs and hazardous chemicals from bacterial cells, resulting in treatment failure and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant variants. Focusing on AcrD may lead to the development of novel antimicrobials against multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, challenges persist in achieving high selectivity, low toxicity, and effective bacterial penetration.

Uranium is most stable when it is exposed to oxygen or water in its +6 oxidation state as the uranyl (UO) ion. This ion is subsequently particularly stable and very resistant to functionalization due to the inverse trans effect. Uranyl oxo ligands are typically not considered good hydrogen bond acceptors due to their weak Lewis basicity; however, the ligands bound in the equatorial plane greatly affect the strength of the oxo ligands' hydrogen bonding.
