Solid-phase synthesis of peptide Mn(i)–carbonyl bioconjugates and their CO release upon visible light activation†
Abstract
A one-pot synthetic route has been developed for the assembly of peptide Mn(I)–carbonyl bioconjugates. It allows the installation of a variety of chelating agents at the late stage, and after just one purification step the TAT–MnCO complexes can be obtained. The resulting bioconjugates showed different and tunable CO releasing kinetics upon visible light activation.
