"From Bare FeO+ to  Cytochrome P-450: New Insight in the Intriguing Mechanisms of C-H Bond Oxygenation"

Sprecher: Professor Dr. Helmut Schwarz, Technische Universität Berlin

Abstract (by author)

A mechanistic scheme for the oxygenation of hydrocarbons is presented based on detailed ion-molecule reactions in the gas phase and electronic structure calculations of binary transition-metal oxides. As a result of this combined experimental/computational approach a new paradigm, called two-state reactivity (TSR), is presented that will be applied to the hydroxylation of alkanes and related processes. It is proposed that in thermal reactions spin-crossing effects can dramatically affect reaction mechanisms, rate constants, branching ratios and temperature behaviour of organometallic transformations. Actually, spin-changes can accelerate and promote otherwise extremely inefficient processes, and based on this concept a novel mechanism pertaining to the catalytic action of P-450 is suggested.
