Faculty Opinions recommendation of Redox properties of human transferrin bound to its receptor.

The catalyst containing redox sites in addition to acid functional groups was prepared by sulphonation of a macroporous chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer with concentrated sulphuric acid at elevated temperatures. Its activity was tested for the oxidation of 2-propanol by molecular oxygen at 120 °C and was found to be comparable to that of the iridium on carbon catalyst.Neutralisation of acid functional groups by alkali metal led to proportional decrease in the oxidation activity. The results of EPR spectroscopic study of these catalysts show that the redox properties of the polymer are caused by carbon clusters which are capable of electron exchange.

The solvation effect of a number of nonaqueous polar solvents was studied on the oxidation-reduction properties of the [Co(en)3]3+-[Co(en)3]2+ system. Interactions of these ions with the solvent molecules are discussed in terms of their coordination, which is accompanied by a specific interaction of the Lewis acid-base type, namely formation of a hydrogen bond between the interacting particles. This is the main controlling factor of the redox properties of the studied system.

Electrochemical properties of tetrahedral clusters [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12], [HRuRh3(CO)12] and [Rh4(CO)12] were investigated in order to evaluate the influence of metal core composition in the series [H4-xRu4-xRhx(CO)12] (x = 0-4). The cluster [H3Ru3Rh(CO)12] was not available in sufficient quantities. As reported for [H4Ru4(CO)12], electrochemical reduction of the hydride-containing clusters [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12] and [HRuRh3(CO)12] also results in (stepwise) loss of hydrogen, producing the anions [HRu2Rh2(CO)12]-, [Ru2Rh2(CO)12]2- and [RuRh3(CO)12]-. These anions can also be prepared from the neutral parent clusters via chemical routes. Electrochemical reduction of [Rh4(CO)12] does not result in the formation of any stable tetranuclear anion. Instead, [Rh5(CO)15]- and [Rh6(CO)15]2- are the major reduction products detected in the course of IR spectroelectrochemical experiments. Most likely, these cluster species are formed from the secondary CO-loss product [Rh4(CO)11]2- by fast redox condensation reactions. Their reoxidation regenerates parent [Rh4(CO)12], together with some [Rh6(CO)16]. Unlike [H4Ru4(CO)12] that undergoes photochemical CO-dissociation, [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12] and [Rh4(CO)12] are completely photostable in neat hexane and dichloromethane as well as in the presence of oct-1-ene.
