Using the new modular and convergent approach to isocyanide-N-hetrocyclic carbene-platinum(ii) complexes, eight new compounds have been synthesised. For three of these, detailed structural data could be obtained by X-ray crystal structure analyses. This new family of organoplatinum complexes is catalytically active for hydrosilylation reactions; styrene and phenylacetylene could be used as substrates; triethylsilane and 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane could be used as reagents. With some of the new platinum pre-catalysts, excellent regioselectivities of up to 98 : 2 could be obtained, and turnover numbers up to 840 were achieved.

ABSTRACT The gene Rv0813c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which codes for a hypothetical protein of unknown function, is conserved within the order Actinomycetales but absent elsewhere. The crystal structure of Rv0813c reveals a new family of proteins that resemble the fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) found in eukaryotes. Rv0813c adopts the 10-stranded β-barrel fold typical of FABPs but lacks the double-helix insert that covers the entry to the binding site in the eukaryotic proteins. The barrel encloses a deep cavity, at the bottom of which a small cyclic ligand was found to bind to the hydroxyl group of Tyr192. This residue is part of a conserved Arg-X-Tyr motif much like the triad that binds the carboxylate group of fatty acids in FABPs. Most of the residues forming the internal surface of the cavity are conserved in homologous protein sequences found in CG-rich prokaryotes, strongly suggesting that Rv0813c is a member of a new family of bacterial FABP-like proteins that may have roles in the recognition, transport, and/or storage of small molecules in the bacterial cytosol.
