Iron(II)-phenylpyruvate complexes of tetradentate tris(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (6-Me3-TPA) and tridentate benzyl bis(2-quinolinylmethyl)amine (Bn-BQA) were prepared to gain insight into C-C bond cleavage catalyzed by dioxygenase enzymes. The complexes we have prepared and characterized are [Fe(6-Me3-tpa)(prv)][BPh4] (1), [Fe2(6-Me3-tpa)2(pp)][(BPh4)2] (2), and [Fe2(6-Me3-tpa)2(2'-NO2-pp)][(BPh4)2] (3), [Fe(6-Me3-tpa)(pp-Me)][BPh4]

The enzymatic conversion of cis- or trans-3-chloroacrylic acid to malonate semialdehyde is a key step in the bacterial degradation of the nematocide 1,3-dichloropropene. Two mechanisms have been proposed for the isomer-specific hydrolytic dehalogenases, cis- and trans-3-chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (cis-CaaD and
