Iron porphyrins are synthesized by systematically introducing electron withdrawing groups (EWGs) on pyrroles to evaluate the relationship between rate (k) and overpotential (η). The results indicate that while EWGs lead...

Diprotonation of a remarkably stable, toluene soluble cobalt peroxo complex supported by a neutral, dianionic pentadentate ligand leads to facile O-O bond cleavage and production of a highly reactive Co(IV) oxyl cation intermediate that dimerizes and releases O<sub>2</sub>. These processes are relevant to both O<sub>2</sub> reduction and O<sub>2</sub> evolution and the mechanism was probed in detail both experimentally and computationally.

Abstract It is generally recognized that reductive processes are more important than oxidative ones in transforming, degrading and mineralizing many environmental contaminants. One process of particular importance is reductive dehalogenation, i.e., the replacement of a halogen atom (most commonly a chlorine atom) by a hydrogen atom. A number of different mechanisms are involved in these reactions. Photochemical reactions probably play a role in some instances. Aliphatic compounds such as chloroethanes, partly aliphatic compounds such as DDT, and alicyclic compounds such as hexachlorocyclohexane are readily dechlorinated in the laboratory by reaction with reduced iron porphyrins such as hematin. Many of these are also dechlorinated by cultures of certain microorganisms, probably by the same mechanism. Such compounds, with a few exceptions, have been found to undergo reductive dechlorination in the environment. Aromatic compounds such as halobenzenes, halophenols and halobenzoic acids appear not to react with reduced iron porphyrins. Some of these however undergo reductive dechlorination both in the environment and in the laboratory. The reaction is generally associated with methanogenic bacteria. There is evidence for the existence of a number of different dechlorinating enzymes specific for different isomers. Recently it has been found that many components of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), long considered to be virtually totally resistant to environmental degradation, may be reductively dechlorinated both in the laboratory and in nature. These findings suggest that many environmental contaminants may prove to be less persistent than was previously feared.
