Porphobilinogen synthase (PBGS) is essential to all life forms; in mammals it is definitively established that Zn(II) is required for activity. The literature regarding the metal requirement for PBGS in other animals, plants, and bacteria neither establishes nor disproves a

Variously substituted coordinating rigid rods have been synthesized which incorporate a central 4,7-phenanthroline nucleus attached to two 2-pyridyl groups via its 3 and 8 positions, so as to yield bis-bidentate chelates, the two-coordinating axes of the chelates being parallel to

The reaction between [(eta(6)-p-cymene)Ru(H2O)3]X2 and 4,7-phenanthroline (phen) leads to the formation of the rectangular tetranuclear complexes [(eta(6)-p-cymene)4Ru4(mu-4,7-phen-N4,N7)(2)(mu-OH)4]X4 (X=NO3, 1a; SO3CF3, 1b) which have been structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography. 1H NMR spectroscopic studies suggest the presence of a partially dissociated
