Abstract

A wide variety of reactions of oxygen involved in biological systems is discussed, and an attempt is made to group the reactions into a set of rather simple reaction patterns. Thus, a coherent understanding of the reaction mechanisms of oxygen may be made to emerge from the discussion.

Comment on a CASSCF study of the FeO<inf>2</inf> bond in a dioxygen heme complex
1990, Chemical Physics Letters
It is indicated that several early papers on the Fe(II)(S=1)O₂(S=1) theory of bonding for the FeO₂ linkage of oxyhaemoglobin and oxymyoglobin have been overlooked in most subsequent publications. Valence bond considerations are used to help show that the results of a recent CASSCF study by Yamamoto and Kashiwagi do not preclude the possibility that the primary mode of FeO₂ bonding could involve the Fe(II)(S=1)O₂(S=1) formulation.
A mechanistic study on the oxidation of 2,6-dimethyl-phenol by DMAP<sup>1</sup> 1 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine.- and polystyrene-bound DMAP<sup>2</sup> 2 Poly[styrene-co-4(N-methyl-N-p-vinylbenzylamino)pyridine]-based copper catalysts
1988, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
A possible mechanism for the oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol by soluble- and polystyrene-bound Cu(II)-DMAP catalysts is described. From our earlier work it is known that, under our standard reaction conditions, the only Cu(II)-DMAP complexes that are initially present in significant amounts in the catalyst solution are mononuclear. From the difference in reaction order in copper for the phenol oxidation and the Cu(I) reoxidation, viz. 1 and 2 respectively, it had been concluded that dimerization of Cu(I) complexes is needed to allow the reoxidation step. For this dimerization, a small amount of copper-coordinating counter-ions proved to be required. The present study shows that under standard conditions for the low molar mass catalyst the dimerization reaction is rate-limiting. For the polymeric catalyst, however, the local copper concentration within the polymer coils is relatively high, the dimerization is accelerated and now the phenol oxidation becomes rate-limiting.
The present work further shows that the phenol oxidation obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics. For the Cu(I) reoxidation, an equilibrium is suggested in which molecular O₂ is reversibly bound to mononuclear Cu(I)-DMAP complexes, prior to Cu(I) dimerization and electron transfers.
Combination of the present results with generally accepted steps in the oxidation of phenols allowed the construction of a possible reaction mechanism for our particular system.
Catalytic oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds by homogeneous and heterogeneous Co(II) phthalocyanine complexes
1987, Science of the Total Environment, The
An overview of the kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions of reduced sulfur compounds and other reductants with molecular oxygen as catalyzed by homogeneous and heterogeneous metal phthalocyanine complexes is presented. Catalysis of the autoxidation of S(IV) by Co(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine was characterized in terms of an ordered ternary-complex mechanism in which S(IV) and oxygen are simultaneously bound to the Co(II)/Co(III) metal center. Hydrogen peroxide was identified as an intermediate reduction product of bound dioxygen. The reaction was examined by spectrophotometric and EPR methods and was found to proceed via a sulfito-cobalt(III)-superoxide complex that subsequently combines with a second sulfite molecule to produce sulfate and a sulfito-cobalt(III)-peroxide. The catalytic cycle is closed by the regeneration of the cobalt(II) complex via the production of H₂O₂. Direct evidence for he active sulfito-cobalt(III)-superoxide intermediate was obtained.
Metalloporphyrins as catalysts in autoxidation processes: a review
1986, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
Metalloporphyrins, because of their ability to enter into reactions involving valence change and/or ligand oxidation-reduction mechanisms, are suitable catalysts for a variety of redox processes. Autoxidation reactions catalyzed by metalloporphyrins are reviewed, and their oxygen-activating performance as well as the reactivity of the oxygen adducts towards aldehydes and hydrocarbons are discussed. The role of porphyrin π cation radicals in these processes is emphasized.
The importance of such factors as presence of substituents in the porphyrin macrocycle, type of solvent and nature of the axial ligand for the initiation step and the selectivity of autoxidation reactions is discussed.
