    • Abstract

       

      [MoVIO2(S2C2(CN)2)2]2− (┘1) and [MoIVO(S2C2(CN)2)2]2− (2) mimick oxidoreductase enzymatic activities of sulphite oxidase with biological electron donor, SO32−, andin vitro electron acceptor, [Fe(CN)6]3−, demonstrating proton coupled electron transfer reaction in water and inhibition of the oxidation of (2) in the presence of KCN. The sulphite exidizing system is characterized by substrate saturation kinetics indicating the biological significance of the reactions
