The aim of this project is to gain insight in to the interactions of hydroxamic acids with biologically relevant molecules. Molecules, such as hydroxamic acids, are known donors of the important diatomic molecule nitric oxide. Our research investigates different modes of coordination of the hydroxamate to the metal. Once the new complexes have been synthesized, a large emphasis of this work focuses on understanding their redox behavior. In addition to elucidating the coordination mode of the hydroxamate to the metal, our group set out to investigate the electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical properties of these complexes and their analogues. The redox properties of these complexes are examined through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and IR-spectroelectrochemical techniques. The results obtained from this investigation will be presented.
