🧪This week's back cover is a paper by Karuppasamy Sundaravel & co called, "Nickel(ii)–flavonolate complexes of tetradentate 4N donor ligands as enzyme–substrate models of quercetin-2,4-dioxygenase: the effect of ligand steric and electronic properties on dioxygenolysis" doi.org/10.1039/D6NJ...

The outside back cover of NJC Volume 50 Number 22.

The featured article is by Karuppasamy Sundaravel and coauthors and is entitled, "Nickel(ii)–flavonolate complexes of tetradentate 4N donor ligands as enzyme–substrate models of quercetin-2,4-dioxygenase: the effect of ligand steric and electronic properties on dioxygenolysis."

The artwork shows a nickel(ii)–flavonolate complex participating in dioxygen activation to produce an ester bound product. The descriptive text reads:

Four new nickel(II)–flavonolate complexes bearing sterically and
electronically tuned tetradentate 4N donor ligands were synthesized
as biomimetic models of quercetin 2,4-dioxygenase. Structural,
electrochemical and kinetic investigations reveal that ligand
substitution strongly influences dioxygenolysis reactivity. Complex 1
with unsubstituted pyridyl complex exhibits enhanced 􀁓-back
donation, lower flavonolate oxidation potential and superior oxidative
cleavage activity toward dioxygen. Radical trapping experiments
indirectly support the formation of flavonoxyl and superoxo
intermediates during the reaction, providing mechanistic insight into
nickel-mediated dioxygen activation and flavonol ring cleavage.
