Mimicking active centres iron sulfur

项目摘要

Small iron-sulfur (FeS-)clusters are often considered as the active centers of the most commonly naturally occurring proteins (FeS-proteins) and are thus of fundamental importance for all living organisms. Besides their function as electron transfer medium in biochemical redox reactions, FeS-clusters are especially important as biocatalysts in numerous pivotal processes. In particular, the mild reaction conditions and the ability of such biocatalysts to activate components of the air makes them ideal materials for a "green" i.e. environmentally friendly and sustainable catalysis. Thus, the investigation of the catalytic mechanisms in enzyme reactions is not only of particular importance for a basic understanding of the functionality of life; enzymes as biocatalysts rather represent ideal systems to learn from nature and to use this knowledge industrially for the development of new catalytically active and selective materials. The detailed understanding of the processes is, however, considerably hampered by the very complex structure of FeS-proteins and the influence of their organic environment. For a detailed understanding of the elementary processes on a molecular level it is mandatory to isolate the active centers of the proteins and to study their intrinsic properties independent of their environment. In this context, we will mimic the active centers of FeS-proteins in form of gasphase clusters and will study their redox activity and catalytic properties in different model reactions in an ion trap experiment. The aim of this experimental approach is the elucidation of elementary reaction steps and their dynamics as well as the understanding of basic mechanisms involved in bond activation and bond formation processes and the corresponding charge transfer processes on a strictly molecular level.Particular emphasis will be on the investigation of the reactivity with respect to the activation of fuels (for application in fuel cells), the hydrogen evolution, the ammonia synthesis as well as the effective and selective oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. For these systems we will perform reaction kinetic, reaction dynamic and structure determination experiments as a function of cluster size, and cluster composition to identify the most active clusters. Further optimization of the cluster properties will be achieved by changing the charge state of the clusters as well as by substitution of Fe atoms with Mo, V, or Ni atoms.

小铁硫（FES-）簇通常被认为是最常见的蛋白质（FES蛋白）的活性中心，因此对于所有生物体而言至关重要。除了它们在生化氧化还原反应中充当电子转移培养基的功能外，FES簇在许多关键过程中作为生物催化剂尤为重要。特别是，温和的反应条件以及此类生物催化剂激活空气组成部分的能力使它们成为“绿色”的理想材料，即环保和可持续的催化。因此，对酶反应中催化机制的研究不仅对于对生命功能的基本理解至关重要。作为生物催化剂的酶，酶代表了从自然中学习并在工业上使用这些知识来开发新的催化活性和选择性材料的理想系统。然而，对过程的详细理解受到FES蛋白质非常复杂的结构及其有机环境的影响的影响。为了详细了解分子水平的基本过程，必须分离蛋白质的活性中心并研究其内在特性，而不是其环境。在这种情况下，我们将以气相簇的形式模仿FES蛋白的活性中心，并将在离子陷阱实验中研究其在不同模型反应中的氧化还原活性和催化特性。这种实验方法的目的是阐明基本反应步骤及其动力学以及对键激活和键形成过程中涉及的基本机制的理解，以及在严格分子水平上的相应电荷转移过程。尤其是针对燃料统一的燃料构造，以及在燃料中的激活中的反应性，以及对燃料综合体内的激活，将对反应性进行研究，以及对燃料综合体的应用，以及及时的效果。脂肪族和芳烃的氧化。对于这些系统，我们将执行反应动力学，反应动态和结构测定实验作为簇大小的函数以及簇组成以识别最活跃的簇。将通过更改簇的电荷状态以及用MO，V或Ni原子取代Fe原子来进一步优化簇特性。
