Catechol dioxygenases are mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes that catalyze the oxygenation of catechols to aliphatic acids via the cleavage of aromatic rings. In the last 20 years, a number of (catecholato)iron(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized as structural and functional models for the catechol-bound iron(III) form of catechol dioxygenases. This review focuses on the structural and spectroscopic characteristics and oxygenation activity of the title complexes.
儿茶酚双加氧酶是单核非血红素铁酶,可通过芳香环的裂解将儿茶酚氧化为脂肪酸。在过去20年中,已经合成了许多(儿茶酚根)铁(III)配合物,并将其表征为儿茶酚双加氧酶的儿茶酚结合铁(III)形式的结构和功能模型。本综述重点关注标题配合物的结构和光谱特征以及氧化活性。
