Preparation and characterization of single crystalline ultrathin oxide films which can be used as supports for active components have been pioneered. This approach has since then been adopted by many other research groups worldwide. The group at the Fritz‐Haber‐Institute of the Max Planck Society has become the leading research team in studying supported metal and oxide nanoparticles with respect to electronic structure and chemical reactivity. The full repertoire of surface analytical spectroscopy techniques is employed and even new experimental techniques and instruments are being developed to tackle problems in surface physics, chemistry and catalysis.

    Philip D. Lane Ziegler-Natta Catalysis: the Nature of the Active Site Literature Seminar April 3, 1992 Karl Ziegler, While Study

    47 Ziegler-Natta Catalysis: The Nature of the Active Site Philip D. Lane Literature Seminar April 3, 1992 Karl Ziegler, while studying ethylene insertion into aluminum-alkyl bonds, serendipi­ tously discovered the effect transition metals had on ethylene polymerization. He and Guilio Natta made significant contributions to the catalytic polymerization of olefins using a transition metal from groups 4-8 and an organometallic from groups 1, 2, or 13, the most famous com­ bination being TiC4 + Al(C2H5)3 for the polymerization of polyethylene. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to them in 1963 for their contributions in this area [l,2]. The impor­ tance of this catalytic process can be seen by the amount of polyethylene produced in the U.S. In 1990, 8.3 billion lbs. of high-density polyethylene were produced [3]. The heterogeneous nature of Ziegler-Natta catalysts make them difficult to study [l,4,5]. Despite improved techniques for studying surfaces, information on an atomic level about the active sites remains elusive. For example, the surface reaction of [Zr(allyl)4] with SiQi leads to different surface species [5]. It is not clear which of the resulting surface species is responsible for the polymerization process. Various mechanisms [6,7] have been proposed for Ziegler-Natta catalysis, with the most widely accepted proposal from Cossee and Adman (Figure 1). The aluminum-alkyl is suggested to be responsible for alkylating the transition metal which is in an octahedral environment with one site vacant. Ethylene is thought to coordinate, followed by direct insertion into the metal-alkyl bond of the transition metal.

    A Bioorganometallic Journey from Peptide Bioconjugates to Novel Metal-based Antibiotics Nils Metzler-Nolte* Inorganic Chemistry I – Bioinorganic Chemistry, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Since the discovery of modern antibiotics such as the penicillins in the first half of the last century, bacterial infections that would have been fatal only 100 years ago can be successfully treated for a relatively small cost. On the other hand, even in developed countries with excellent healthcare facilities, the fight against bacterial infections is a continuous one. Resistance against many common antibiotics develops rapidly and in fact often quicker than novel antibiotics reach the market. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new classes of antibiotics. To match this need, metal-containing compounds hold particular promise.[1] On the one hand, a metal complex alone might enhance the activity of an established drug. Alternatively, addition of a metal complex might alter the specificity of a given (organic) drug, e.g. by making it active not only against Gram-positive but also against Gram-negative bacteria. In our group, we have successfully modified the activity of two classes of antibiotics by substitution with metal complexes, namely anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) and a novel lead structure named platensimycin. Derivatization of a short AMP with a primary sequence consisting of three arginine and three tryptophane residues by metallocenes (e.g. ferrocene and ruthenocene carboxlic acid derivatives)
