The heme/Cu sulfite reductase bears a distal Cu metal coordinated to two cysteines. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of sulfite to HS. Very little is known about the electronic structure and reactivity of this enzyme. Synthetic modelling can allow access to the properties of the active site. However, installing thiolates on porphyrin rings is not adequately represented in the literature. In this paper, we describe a synthetic methodology to install multiple thiolates on porphyrin rings which can be used to bind a second metal. In addition, to the complexity of keeping several thiols adjacent to each other, this work also reports unprecedented demetallation of iron porphyrin in the presence of multiple thiol functional groups in the vicinity.

The title complex, [Fe(CHN)(CHN)]·3CH, possesses inversion symmetry with the iron(II) atom located on a center of symmetry. The metal atom is coordinated in a symmetric octa-hedral geometry by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin ligand in the equatorial plane and two N atoms of 1-methyl-imidazole ligands in the axial sites; the complex crystallizes with three toluene solvent mol-ecules. The average Fe-N (N is a porphyrin N atom) bond length is 1.

The variable valence states of iodine(I) render Zn-I batteries an intriguing area of research. However, current Zn-I batteries are mostly based on I/I redox chemistry. Effective strategies for activating the high-voltage I/I redox couple in iodine-based cathode materials remain relatively scarce.

CO reduction has recently attracted attention to address environmental and energy issues owing to its ability to convert greenhouse gases into valuable chemical fuels. Fe-porphyrin complexes ([Fe-(P)]-s) have been widely studied as catalysts for CO reduction owing to their high activity, selectivity, and robustness. In this perspective, [Fe-(P)]-s are classified in terms of our original concept, function provision, which serves to provide the function to approach key elements of the reaction.

Drawing inspiration from the hierarchical architecture of natural metalloenzymes, we present a biomimetic approach to create an efficient catalyst by engineering both first and second coordination spheres within a covalent organic framework (COF). The catalyst, Fe-TAPP-TT, was synthesized through solvothermal condensation of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) and thieno[3,2-]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (TT), followed by iron metallization. In this architecture, the Fe-porphyrin center serves as the primary active site (first coordination sphere), while the sulfur-rich TT linkers form a biomimetic "catalytic pocket" that functions as the second coordination sphere.

Heme, a vital iron-containing molecule, serves fundamental roles in oxygen transport and electron transfer but also acts as an extracellular signaling entity, significantly influencing inflammatory responses. Elevated levels of labile heme resulting from hemolytic events or therapeutic treatments may activate inflammatory signaling pathways, particularly through the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). In this study, we systematically expanded the previously developed Heme Knowledge Graph (HemeKG) to comprehensively incorporate recent findings regarding heme-TLR4 interactions.
