Carbene‐induced rescue of catalytic activity in deactivated Nitrite Reductase mutant (2020)
Journal Article
Planchestainer, M., Schulz, C., McMaster, J., Paradisi, F., & Albrecht, M. (2020). Carbene‐induced rescue of catalytic activity in deactivated Nitrite Reductase mutant. Chemistry - A European Journal, 26(66), 15206-15211. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202002444

The role of His145 in the T1 copper center of Nitrite Reductase (NiR) is pivotal for the activity of the enzyme. Mutation to a glycine at this position enables the reconstitution of the T1 center by the addition of imidazole as exogenous ligands, how...

A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI” (2020)
Journal Article
Blundell, T. J., Taylor, L. J., Valentine, A. J., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., McMaster, J., & Kays, D. L. (2020). A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI”. Chemical Communications, 56(58), 8139-8142. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0cc03559a

The reaction between a two-coordinate Co(II) diaryl complex and “GaI” affords 2,6-Pmp2C6H3CoGa3I5, in a new geometry for a heavier group 13-transition metal cluster. Experimental and computational investigations show that this compound is best descri... Read More about A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI”.

Influence of molecular design on radical spin multiplicity: characterisation of BODIPY dyad and triad radical anions (2020)
Journal Article
Mangham, B., Hanson-Heine, M. W. D., Davies, E. S., Wriglesworth, A., George, M. W., Lewis, W., Kays, D. L., McMaster, J., Besley, N. A., & Champness, N. R. (2020). Influence of molecular design on radical spin multiplicity: characterisation of BODIPY dyad and triad radical anions. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 22(8), 4429-4438. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9cp06427c

This journal is © the Owner Societies. A strategy to create organic molecules with high degrees of radical spin multiplicity is reported in which molecular design is correlated with the behaviour of radical anions in a series of BODIPY dyads. Upon re... Read More about Influence of molecular design on radical spin multiplicity: characterisation of BODIPY dyad and triad radical anions.
