Prof. Nicolai Lehnert, University of Michigan, will present a seminar entitled, "Iron Nitroxyl Complexes as Central Intermediates in Nitric Oxide Reductases." Host: Prof. Elizabeth Papish Abstract:  Despite the extensive work that has been completed on heme and non-heme iron-nitrosyl complexes, {FeNO}7 in the Enemark-Feltham notation, corresponding, one-electron reduced {FeNO}8 complexes where a nitroxyl anion (NO-) is formally bound to an iron(II) center have remained largely elusive. These complexes, and their protonated iron(II)-NHO analogs, are now entering the limelight as proposed [...]
