Mj. Baldwin et al., THE LINEAR MNII COMPLEX MN3(5-NO2-SALIMH)2(OAC)4 PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURE TYPE FOR THE CARBOXYLATE SHIFT IN PROTEINS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (23), 1993, pp. 1741-1743
The title complex {where 5-NO2-salimH-2 = 4-[2-(5-NO2-salicylideneimin
e)ethyl]imidazole} has been structurally characterized and is the firs
t mu-phenolato, mu-carboxylato-O, mu-carboxylato-O,O' type model for t
he 'carboxylate shift' in polymanganese and polyiron enzymes.
