A series of pentametallic "cubane-plus-dangler" complexes have been target synthesized. Among them, the [Fe3Ni2] aggregate strongly resembled the native oxygen-evolving center by mimicking the "cubane-plus-dangler" skeleton, the aqua binding site, and the connectivity between the pendent ion and the parent cubane. Our synthetic strategy that uses tri-substituted methanol as the "cubane-generator" and carboxylate as the pendant ligand provides a feasible approach for accessing model compounds of biological catalyst systems.
一系列的五金属“笼状加悬垂”配合物已被目标合成。其中,[Fe3Ni2] 聚集体通过模拟“笼状加悬垂”骨架、水合配位点以及悬垂离子与母体笼之间的连接,强烈类似于天然的氧析出中心。我们使用三取代甲醇作为“笼状生成剂”和羧酸盐作为悬垂配体的合成策略为获取生物催化剂体系的模型化合物提供了一种可行的方法。
