Metal ions have been shown to play a critical role in amyloid-β (Aβ) neurotoxicity and plaque formation which are key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid-β peptides can bind both copper and hemin and this interaction modulates the redox chemistry of these metals. The characterization of the binding of hemin through UV-Vis spectroscopic titration with Aβ(4-16) shows a significantly higher affinity than that with Aβ(1-16).

Three cyano-coordinated cobalt porphyrin dimers were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The X-ray structure of the complexes reveals that cyanide binds in a terminal fashion in both the and isomers of ethane- and ethylene-bridged cobalt porphyrin dimers, while in the ethylene-bridged dimer, cyanides bind in both terminal and bridging modes. The nonconjugated ethane-bridged complex stabilizes exclusively a diamagnetic metal-centered oxidation of type Co(por)(CN) both in the solid and in solution.

Cytochrome bds are bacterial terminal oxidases expressed under low oxygen conditions, and they are important for the survival of many pathogens and hence potential drug targets. The largest subunit CydA contains the three redox-active cofactors heme b, heme b and the active site heme d. One suggested proton transfer pathway is found at the interface between the CydA and the other major subunit CydB.

The iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase (FeMoco) catalyzes fixation of N via Fe hydride intermediates. Our understanding of these species has relied heavily on the characterization of well-defined 3d metal hydride complexes, which serve as putative spectroscopic models. Although the Fe ions in FeMoco, a weak-field cluster, are expected to adopt locally high-spin Fe configurations, synthetically accessible hydride complexes featuring d or d electron counts are almost exclusively low-spin.

In contrast to a tungsten nitrido complex endowed with a tripodal silanolate ligand framework, which was reported in the literature to be a dimeric species with a metallacyclic core, the corresponding molybdenum nitrides are monomeric entities comprising a regular terminal nitride unit, as proven by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). Their electronic character is largely determined by the constraints imposed on the metal center by the podand ligand architecture. Mo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and, to a lesser extent, N NMR spectroscopy allow these effects to be studied, which become particularly apparent upon comparison with the spectral data of related molybdenum nitrides comprising unrestrained silanolate, alkoxide, or amide ligands.
