Model Reactions of Molybdo-Reductase. A Novel and Highly Efficient Reduction of Nitrobenzene to Aniline Catalyzed by a Molybdenum-Mediated Oxygen Atom Transfer Reaction

Magnetic Nanocomposites Formed by FeNi3 Nanoparticles Embedded in Graphene. Application as Supercapacitors

“…Functional nanocomposites based on layered double hydroxide materials (LDHs) as inorganic component have attracted particular attention in the last few years because of their broad range of applications in magnetism, catalysis, biomedicine, chemical sensing, corrosion‐resistance coatings, electrochemical batteries, ion exchangers, adsorbents, or even nanoreactors . In addition, the chemical versatility of LDHs to accommodate different transition metal ions in a well‐defined composition range have been exploited to produce different metal oxides with nanometric size, thus expanding the possibilities of these materials …”

Biomimetic Chemistry of Molybdenum

“…The OAT and CEPT capabilities of the enzymes, especially those exposed by the Schultz/Hille/Holm 30 Consequently, Mo-LDH is a catalyst for the oxidation of thiols to the corresponding disulfides by dioxygen, 97,98 dimethyl sulfoxide, 97 or aromatic nitro compounds. 100 The rate of catalysis is enhanced by the addition of small amounts (ca. 0.1%) of protonic zeolite or amberlite IR-120(H).…”

“…100 Initially, thiol oxidation is postulated to be coupled to reduction of Mo(VI) through two CEPT reactions. Molybdenum(VI) is regenerated by OAT from PhN0 2 to Mo(IV), this being the first step in the reduction of the nitro compound.…”

Design, synthesis, and characterization of a sterically encumbered dioxo molybdenum (VI) core

“…6 A number of discrete dioxo-Mo VI complexes react with oxygen atom abstractors like phosphines, and a common occurrence in the process is the formation of dimeric complexes (equation 1, where Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)borate). 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 Unless the dinuclear compounds are in rapid equilibrium with the mononuclear compounds, formation of dinuclear compounds terminates the catalytic process. Two general approaches have been used to prevent the dinucleation.…”
