The electronic structures of 4f3/5f3 Cp′′3M and Cp′′3M·alkylisocyanide complexes, where Cp′′ is 1,3-bis-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl, are explored with a focus on the splitting of the f-orbitals, which provides information about the strengths of the metal–ligand interactions.

The structures of gas-phase group nine cation–nitrous oxide metal–ligand complexes, M+(N2O)n (M = Co, Rh, Ir; n = 2–7) have been determined by a combination of infrared photodissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory.

Template synthesis of N,N′-bis(4-acetyl-5-methylpyrazole-3-yl)formamidine (ampf) was performed starting from 4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole (aamp) and CH(OC2H5)3 in methanol in the presence of CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, or Ni(NO3)2. The ligand was isolated in coordinated form as [Cu(ampf)Cl2], [Cu(ampf)(MeOH)(NO3)2]MeOH, and [Ni(ampf)(MeOH)2(NO3)]NO3 correspondingly. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform IR and electronic spectroscopy, thermal analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical (density functional theory) calculations. The density functional theory calculations provided information on the metal–ligand interactions in the complexes and assisted the assignment of the FT-IR spectra. The antiproliferative activity of the complexes and the ligand precursor, aamp, was tested against human myelogenous leukaemia K562, colon adenocarcinoma HT29, and cervix carcinoma HeLa.

<p>NO and O<sub>2</sub> are detoxified in many organisms using flavodiiron proteins (FDPs). The exact coordination of the iron centre in the active site of these enzymes remains unclear despite numerous structural studies. Here, we used <sup>57</sup>Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to probe the iron-ligand interactions in <i>Escherichia coli</i> FDP. This data combined with density functional theory (DFT) and <sup>57</sup>Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy indicate that the oxidised form of FDP contains a dihydroxo-diferric Fe(III)–(µOH<sup>–</sup>)<sub>2</sub>–Fe(III) active site, while its reduction gives rise to a monohydroxo-diferrous Fe(II)–(µOH<sup>–</sup>)–Fe(II) site upon elimination of one bridging OH<sup>–</sup> ligand, thereby providing an open coordination site for NO binding. Prolonged NRVS data collection of the oxidised FDP resulted in photoreduction and formation of a partially reduced diiron center with two bridging hydroxyl ligands. These results have crucial implications for studying and understanding the mechanism of FDP as well as other non-haem diiron enzymes.</p>
