Download or read book Photosystem II written by T. Wydrzynski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most mysterious part of photosynthesis yet the most important for all aerobic life on Earth (including ourselves) is how green plants, algae and cyanobacteria make atmospheric oxygen from water. This thermodynamically difficult process is only achieved in Nature by the unique pigment/protein complex known as Photosystem II, using sunlight to power the reaction. The present volume contains 34 comprehensive chapters authored by 75 scientific experts from around the world. It gives an up-to-date account on all what is currently known about the molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics and physiology of Photosystem II. The book is divided into several parts detailing the protein constituents, functional sites, tertiary structure, molecular dynamics, and mechanisms of homeostasis. The book ends with a comparison of Photosystem II with other related enzymes and bio-mimetic systems. Since the unique water-splitting chemistry catalyzed by Photosystem II leads to the production of pure oxygen gas and has the potential for making hydrogen gas, a primary goal of this book is to provide a molecular guide to future protein engineers and bio-mimetic chemists in the development of biocatalysts for the generation of clean, renewable energy from sunlight and water.

Book New Synthetic Approaches and Structural Models of the Oxygen Evolving Complex in Photosystem II from the Use of Oximato Based Ligands

Download or read book New Synthetic Approaches and Structural Models of the Oxygen Evolving Complex in Photosystem II from the Use of Oximato Based Ligands written by Alysha Alaimo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The employment of the chelating/bridging ligands salicylhydroxime (shiH3), quinoline-2-aldoxime (qaoH) and 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime (dapdoH2) in heterometallic Mn-Ca chemistry has afforded various compounds with diverse topologies, metal stoichiometries and Mn oxidation state descriptions. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PSII) including discussions of fundamental aspects such as composition, structural proposals, mechanism of O-O bond formation and synthetic approaches. My research results are reported in Chapter 2, 3 and 4. In the first project (Chapter 2), one-pot reactions between Mn(ClO4)2∙6H2O, Ca(ClO4)2∙4H2O and the potentially tetradentate chelating/bridging ligand salicylhydroxime (shiH3), resulting from the in situ metal ion-assisted amide-iminol tautomerism of salicylhydroxamic acid (shaH2), in the presence of various fluorescence carboxylate groups (2-naphthoic acid = L1-H; 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid = L2-H; 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid = L3-H) and base NEt3 has led to a family of structurally similar {MnIII4Ca} clusters (1-4¬) with distorted square pyramidal topologies. The combined results demonstrate the ability of shiH3 and fluorescence carboxylates to yield new heterometallic Mn-Ca clusters with (i) the same Mn-Ca ratio as the OEC of PSII, (ii) structural stability in solution, (iii) a pronounced redox and optical activity and (iv) predominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions with S = 0 spin ground states. These complexes may be relevant to lower oxidation level species of the catalytic cycle of the OEC. The second project of this thesis, discussed in Chapter 3, involved one-pot reactions between the [Mn3O(O2CPh)6(py)x]+/0 triangular precursors and either CaBr2∙xH2O or CaCl2∙6H2O in the presence of shaH2. This afforded the heterometallic complexes [MnIII4Ca2(O2CPh)4(shi)4(H2O)3(Me2CO)] (5) and (pyH)[MnII2MnIII4Ca2Cl2(O2CPh)7(shi)4(py)4] (6), respectively, in good yields. Further reactions but using a more flexible synthetic scheme comprising the Mn(NO3)2∙4H2O/Ca(NO3)2∙4H2O and Mn(O2CPh)2∙2H2O/Ca(ClO4)2∙4H2O "metal blends" and shaH2 in the presence of external base NEt3, led to the new complexes (NHEt3)[MnIII4MnIV4Ca2(OEt)2(shi)10(EtOH)2] (7) and (NHEt3)4[MnIII8Ca2(CO3)4(shi)8] (8), respectively. Solid-state dc magnetic susceptibility studies of 5-8 revealed the presence of predominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the Mn centers, leading to S = 0 spin ground state values. From a bioinorganic chemistry perspective, these compounds may demonstrate some relevance to both the high-valent scheme (7) and lower oxidation level species (5, 6 and 8) of the catalytic cycle of the OEC. In the last chapter of this thesis (Chapter 4), the ligands quinoline-2-aldoxime (qaoH) and 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime (dapdoH2) were introduced for a first time in heterometallic Mn-Ca chemistry. This afforded a mixed-valence {MnII/III22Ca2} (9) cluster containing several {Mn4CaOx} subunits and a butterfly-like {MnIV2Ca2} (10) complex, respectively. These compounds demonstrate structural and magnetic relevance to both the low- and high-valent states of the OEC. All research-based Chapters (Chapter 2-4) are divided into subsections in order to facilitate the understanding of the research concepts by the familiar and non-familiar readers and contextualize the messages, goals and conclusions of each individual project. I felt it was appropriate to begin each Chapter with a short preface of the work that summarizes the most important aspects of the specific project, followed by the complete experimental work and discussion of the results, and end with conclusions and some future perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert overview of current research, applications, and economic and environmental advantages The study and development of new homogeneous catalysts based on first-row metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) has grown significantly due to the economic and environmental advantages that non-noble metals present. Base metals offer reduced cost, greater supply, and lower toxicity levels than noble metals?enabling greater opportunity for scientific investigation and increased development of practical applications. Non-Noble Metal Catalysis provides an authoritative survey of the field, from fundamental concepts and computational methods to industrial applications and reaction classes. Recognized experts in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, the authors present a comprehensive overview of the conceptual and practical aspects of non-noble metal catalysts. Examination of topics including non-innocent ligands, proton-coupled electron transfer, and multi-nuclear complexes provide essential background information, while areas such as kinetic lability and lifetimes of intermediates reflect current research and shifting trends in the field. This timely book demonstrates the efficacy of base metal catalysts in the pharmaceutical, fine-chemical, and agrochemical industries, addressing both environmental and economic concerns. Providing essential conceptual and practical exploration, this valuable resource: -Illustrates how unravelling new reactivity patterns can lead to new catalysts and new applications -Highlights the multiple advantages of using non-noble metals in homogenous catalysis -Demonstrates how the availability of non-noble metal catalysis reduces costs and leads to immense savings for the chemical industry -Reveals how non-noble metal catalysis are more sustainable than noble metals such as palladium or platinum Non-Noble Metal Catalysis: Molecular Approaches and Reactions is an indispensable source of up-to-date information for catalytic chemists, organic chemists, industrial chemists, organometallic chemists, and those seeking to broaden their knowledge of catalytic chemistry.
