Two dinucleariron complexes, bridged via cyano groups, containing units of [Fe(phen)2(CN)2]n (n=0 or +1) and a chelating ligand, the nitrilotriacetic acid anion, have been synthesised. These compounds, containing iron atoms in different and/or the same oxidation states [Fe(II)/Fe(III) (1); Fe(III)/Fe(III) (2)] were characterised by elemental analyses, IR and UV spectra, TGA and DSC thermograms.

The complexes (cnt)(2)[Fe(nta)Cl-2], where nta = nitrilotriacetate and cnt = Et4N+ or PyH+, catalyze the air oxidation of thiols to disulfides under ambient conditions. Dithiols are converted to linear and cyclic oligomers that differ in their terminal groups as a function of the counterion, cnt. Cysteine ethyl ester was converted to the corresponding cystine diethylester in high yield. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Coordination of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) and the metal-binding component of neuromelanin 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) with ferric iron has been studied in aqueous solution in the presence of ancillary ligands containing amine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen donor sites. With nitrilotriacetic acid (nta) and ethylenediamine diacetic acid (edda) coligands, coordination of the catecholate ligands DA and DHI is observed to be complete at physiological pH. The resulting complexes of DA have the characteristic two-component electronic spectrum observed characteristically for L(4)Fe(Cat) complexes. The spectrum obtained with DHI consists of a single broad absorption in the visible region. Both DA and DHI are able to coordinate with Fe(3+) in the presence of edta, displacing carboxylate oxygen donors at pH values just above physiological pH. These results demonstrate the strong affinity of DA and DHI for Fe3+, pointing to in vivo complex formation in neuronal mixtures at physiological pH. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
