Abstract:Formation of photosynthetic complexes leads to a higher demand for Fe–S clusters. We hypothesized that in the facultative phototrophic alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides expression of the isc-suf operon for Fe–S cluster formation may be increased under conditions that promote formation of photosynthetic complexes and that, vice versa, lack of the IscR regulator may also affect photosynthesis gene expression. To test this hypothesis, we monitored the activities of the isc-suf sense and anti-sense pro… Show more
“…Iron complexes incorporating sulfur or selenium ligands stimulate increasing interest due to their importance in biological systems, [1][2][3][4] their relevance to catalytic processes [5][6][7][8][9] and in the development of material science. [10][11][12][13] Iron-sulfur proteins are required for many biological processes.…”

“…They are involved in numerous cellular processes like respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic reactions, nitrogen fixation, DNA replication and repair, regulation of gene expression or t-RNA modifications. [1][2][3][4] The influence of the incorporation of sulfur or selenium atoms into the structure of [FeFe]-hydrogenase models, has been investigated on their activity for hydrogen production. [5][6][7][8][9] Iron sulfide nanomaterials have been used as electrocatalysts for water-splitting leading to hydrogen evolution.…”
In this contribution, we report the preparation of iron thiosulfonato complex CpFe(CO) 2 SSO 2 CH=CHPh (1) and its selenosulfonato analogue CpFe(CO) 2 SeSO 2 CH=CHPh (2) featuring styrene moiety. 1 and 2 are obtained by electrophilic attack of (l-E x )[CpFe(CO) 2 ] 2 (E = S; x = 2-4, E = Se; x = 1) on the sulfur atom of styrene sulfonyl chloride ClSO 2 CH=CHPh. The new compounds, 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1 H-, 13 C{ 1 H}-NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and the structure of 2 is determined by X-ray crystallography.
