Transition Metal-Analogues of Natural Cobalt-Corrins The B12-cofactors are metabolic players essential in all three kingdoms of life, including humans and animals. Thus, the B12-cofactors play the role of the most broadly relevant organometallic biological catalysts. In this contribution to the B12-field the novel transition metal analogues of the B12-cofactors are synthesized, selected on the basis of their hypothetical structural properties and chemical reactivity. This work will provide (i) first insights into the coordination chemistry of such metal-ions bound by natural corrins, and (ii) open up new means for studying the molecular basis of the biological roles of B12-cofactors. 2 open positions (sorry, currently not available): |
