Direct structural determination of the short-lived intermediate formed in the dynamic incorporation of a copper(II) ion into a mercury(II) porphyrin by the stopped-flow EXAFS method
Abstract
Structure parameters around the CuII ion in a reaction intermediate formed in the course of CuII ion incorporation into an HgII porphyrin were directly determined using a new stopped-flow EXAFS apparatus, and elongation of the Cu–N bond in the unstable heterodinuclear porphyrin intermediate was observed
