Oxidation of a [Cu(μ-S)] complex by NO or CO generated a [Cu(μ-SO)] product. In the presence of a sulfur trap, a [Cu(μ-O)] species also formed from NO. A [Cu(μ-CS)] species derived from CS modeled initial reaction intermediates. These observations indicate that one role of tetranuclearity in the Cu catalytic site of nitrous oxide reductase is to protect the crucial S ligand from oxidation.
[Cu(μ-S)]配合物被NO或CO氧化生成了[Cu(μ-SO)]产物。在存在硫捕获剂的情况下,NO也会形成[Cu(μ-O)]物种。由CS衍生出的[Cu(μ-CS)]物种模拟了初始反应中间体。这些观察结果表明,在一氧化二氮还原酶的铜催化位点中,四核结构的一个作用是保护关键的硫配体不被氧化。
