description

Abstract [Co2(OH)2( l -valine)4]·2.5H2O has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions and constitutes the first example of a [Co2O2] core supported exclusively by aminoacids. This synthetic dimetallic model for redox active metalloenzymes is one of the few binary aminoacid compounds of biologically relevant metal ions that has been structurally characterized, showing the possibilities of this synthetic approach for preparation of models in bioinorganic chemistry.
