One electron at a time: Half-sandwich organometallic cyclopentadienyl–IrIII complexes containing N,N-chelated ligands can catalyze the reduction of quinones (Q), such as vitamin K3, to semiquinones (Q.−) by coenzyme NADH (see picture). DFT calculations suggest that the mechanism involves hydride transfer followed by two one-electron transfers and the unusual IrII oxidation state as a key transient intermediate.
