A zinc hydroxide complex of relevance to 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase: The synthesis, structure and reactivity of the tris(2-mercapto-1-phenylimidazolyl)hydroborato complex [Tm-Ph]ZnOH
Bm. Bridgewater et G. Parkin, A zinc hydroxide complex of relevance to 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase: The synthesis, structure and reactivity of the tris(2-mercapto-1-phenylimidazolyl)hydroborato complex [Tm-Ph]ZnOH, INORG CH C, 4(3), 2001, pp. 126-129
The tris(2-mercapto-1-phenylimidazolyl)hydroborato ligand, [Tm-Ph], has bee
n used to prepare [Tm-Ph]ZnOH, the first structurally characterized termina
l zinc hydroxide complex of a tridentate sulfur donor ligand; as such. [Tm-
Ph]ZnOH represents a good structural model for the zinc enzyme 5-aminolevul
inate dehydratase(ALAD). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
