Molybdenum- or tungsten-containing enzymes catalyze oxygen atom transfer reactions involved in carbon, sulfur, or nitrogen metabolism. It has been observed that reduction potentials and oxygen atom transfer rates are different for W relative to Mo enzymes and the isostructural Mo/W complexes. Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations on Mo(V)O(bdt)(2) and W(V)O(bdt)(2), where bdt=benzene-1,2-dithiolate(2-), have been used to determine that the energies of the half-filled redox-active orbital, and thus the reduction potentials and MO bond strengths, are different for these complexes due to relativistic effects in the W sites.
含钼或钨的酶催化参与碳、硫或氮代谢的氧原子转移反应。据观察,相对于钼酶和同结构的钼/钨配合物,钨的还原电位和氧原子转移速率有所不同。对Mo(V)O(bdt)(2)和W(V)O(bdt)(2)(其中bdt =苯-1,2-二硫醇盐(2-))进行的硫K边X射线吸收光谱(XAS)和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算已用于确定半充满氧化还原活性轨道的能量,进而确定这些配合物的还原电位和钼-氧键强度因钨位点的相对论效应而有所不同。
