CATALYTIC METALS IN STEP 2

Metal/s Properties in step 2*
ZN 1 A Substrate-bound (-)Product-bound (2aio)
Oxidation State 2 2
Coordination Geometry trigonalBipyramidal trigonalBipyramidal
Coordination Number 5 5
Notes on step 2--
ZN 2 A Substrate-bound (-)Product-bound (2aio)
Oxidation State 2 2
Coordination Geometry octahedral octahedral

*All the coordination properties are derived from the representative PDBs.
If no PDB is available, when possible, the coordination properties are derived from the MACiE reaction mechanism.
