Abstract

Metal–oxyl (Mn+-O•) complexes having an oxyl radical ligand, which are electronically equivalent to well-known metal–oxo (M(n+1)+═O) complexes, are surveyed as a new category of metal-based oxidants. Detection and characterization of Mn+-O• species have been made in some cases, although proposals and characterization of the species are mostly done on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The reactivity of Mn+-O• complexes will provide a way to achieve potentially difficult oxidative conversion of substrates. This Viewpoint will provide state-of-the-art knowledge on the Mn+-O• species in terms of the formation, characterization, and DFT-based proposals to shed light on the characteristics of the intriguing oxidatively active species.
Synopsis
Transition-metal−oxyl (Mn+-O•) complexes that are electronically equivalent to well-known metal−oxo (M(n+1)+═O) complexes, with oxyl radical ligands, are surveyed as a new category of metal-based oxidants. A number of proposals on Mn+-O• species have been provided mostly on the basis of density functional theory calculations, although detection and characterization of Mn+-O• species are limited to several cases. The higher and unique reactivity of Mn+-O• species will allow us to expect the expansion of oxidation chemistry.

(American Chemical Society)A review. A fundamental goal in catalysis is the coupling of multiple reactions to yield a desired product. Enzymes have evolved elegant approaches to address this grand challenge. A salient example is the biol. conversion of methane to methanol catalyzed by sol. methane monooxygenase (sMMO), a member of the bacterial multicomponent monooxygenase (BMM) superfamily. SMMO is a dynamic protein complex of three components: a hydroxylase, a reductase, and a regulatory protein. The active site, a carboxylate-rich non-heme diiron center, is buried inside the 251 kDa hydroxylase component. The enzyme processes four substrates: O2, protons, electrons, and methane. To couple O2 activation to methane oxidn., timely control of substrate access to the active site is crit. Recent studies of sMMO, as well as its homologs in the BMM superfamily, have begun to unravel the mechanism. The emerging and unifying picture reveals that each substrate gains access to the active site along a specific pathway through the hydroxylase. Electrons and protons are delivered via a three-amino-acid pore located adjacent to the diiron center; O2 migrates via a series of hydrophobic cavities; and hydrocarbon substrates reach the active site through a channel or linked set of cavities. The gating of these pathways mediates entry of each substrate to the diiron active site in a timed sequence and is coordinated by dynamic interactions with the other component proteins. The result is coupling of dioxygen consumption with hydrocarbon oxidn., avoiding unproductive oxidn. of the reductant rather than the desired hydrocarbon. To initiate catalysis, the reductase delivers two electrons to the diiron(III) center by binding over the pore of the hydroxylase. The regulatory component then displaces the reductase, docking onto the same surface of the hydroxylase. Formation of the hydroxylase-regulatory component complex (i) induces conformational changes of pore residues that may bring protons to the active site; (ii) connects hydrophobic cavities in the hydroxylase leading from the exterior to the diiron active site, providing a pathway for O2 and methane, in the case of sMMO, to the reduced diiron center for O2 activation and substrate hydroxylation; (iii) closes the pore, as well as a channel in the case of four-component BMM enzymes, restricting proton access to the diiron center during formation of "Fe2O2" intermediates required for hydrocarbon oxidn.; and (iv) inhibits undesired electron transfer to the Fe2O2 intermediates by blocking reductase binding during O2 activation. This mechanism is quite different from that adopted by cytochromes P 450, a large class of heme-contg. monooxygenases that catalyze reactions very similar to those catalyzed by the BMM enzymes. Understanding the timed enzyme control of substrate access has implications for designing artificial catalysts. To achieve multiple turnovers and tight coupling, synthetic models must also control substrate access, a major challenge considering that nature requires large, multimeric, dynamic protein complexes to accomplish this feat.(b) Baik, M.-H.; Newcomb, M.; Friesner, R.

(American Chemical Society)A review. The conversion of methane to methanol is catalyzed at the active site of a metalloenzyme known as methane monooxygenase, or MMO. One atom of the dioxygen mol. is assimilated into the alc. and the other forms water. In methanotrophic organisms there are two kinds of MMO systems, a sol. form (sMMO), comprising several protein components that have been isolated and structurally characterized, and a membrane-bound or particulate form (pMMO). The hydroxylase responsible for dioxygen activation and hydrocarbon oxidn. in pMMO, which is expressed in practically all methanotrophs, contains copper. Under copper-deficient conditions, some methanotrophs express sMMO, the hydroxylase enzyme of which (MMOH) contains a carboxylate-bridged nonheme diiron center at its active site. The ability of the MMO systems to activate inert C-H bonds under ambient conditions has captivated the imagination of many researchers over the past 20 yr. If a biomimetic industrial catalyst could be devised that reproduced the reactivity of this enzyme, then large-scale conversion of methane gas (it is currently not economical to transport and store methane gas from remote sites) into methanol might make available a new cost-effective energy source. Although such a catalyst is not realistic for the near future, there are valuable lessons to be learned for the design of compds. that can oxidize alkane and other substrates catalytically by studying how nature utilizes a relatively small transition metal-based active site to achieve a difficult chem. transformation.(c) Brazeau, B.

(American Chemical Society)Norcarane is a valuable mechanistic probe for enzyme-catalyzed hydrocarbon oxidn. reactions because different products or product distributions result from concerted, radical, and cation based reactions. Sol. methane monooxygenase (sMMO) from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b catalyzes the oxidn. of norcarane to afford 3-hydroxymethylcyclohexene and 3-cycloheptenol, compds. characteristic of radical and cationic intermediates, resp., in addn. to 2- and 3-norcaranols. Past single turnover transient kinetic studies have identified several optically distinct intermediates from the catalytic cycle of the hydroxylase component of sMMO. Thus, the reaction between norcarane and key reaction intermediates can be directly monitored. The presence of norcarane increases the rate of decay of only one intermediate, the high-valent bis-μ-oxo Fe(IV)2 cluster-contg. species compd. Q, showing that it is responsible for the majority of the oxidn. chem. The observation of products from both radical and cationic intermediates from norcarane oxidn. catalyzed by sMMO is consistent with a mechanism in which an initial substrate radical intermediate is formed by hydrogen atom abstraction. This intermediate then undergoes either oxygen rebound, intramol. rearrangement followed by oxygen rebound, or loss of a second electron to yield a cationic intermediate to which OH- is transferred.

(Macmillan Magazines)Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), a non-heme iron-dependent oxidase, catalyzes the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN), the precursor of all penicillins and cephalosporins. The key steps in this reaction are the two iron-dioxygen-mediated ring closures of the tripeptide δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). It has been proposed that the four-membered β-lactam ring forms initially, assocd. with a highly oxidized iron(IV)-oxo (ferryl) moiety, which subsequently mediates closure of the five-membered thiazolidine ring. Here we describe observation of the IPNS reaction in crystals by X-ray crystallog. IPNS·Fe2+ substrate crystals were grown anaerobically, exposed to high pressures of oxygen to promote reaction and frozen, and their structures were elucidated by X-ray diffraction. Using the natural substrate ACV, this resulted in the IPNS·Fe2+·IPN product complex. With the substrate analog, δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-L-S-methyl-cysteine (ACmC) in the crystal, the reaction cycle was interrupted at the monocyclic stage. These mono- and bicyclic structures support our hypothesis of a two-stage reaction sequence leading to penicillin. Furthermore, the formation of a monocyclic sulfoxide product from ACmC is most simply explained by the interception of a high-valency iron-oxo species.(b) Ge, W.; Clifton, I. J.; Stok, J.

(American Chemical Society)Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a nonheme iron oxidase that catalyzes the central step in the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics: oxidative cyclization of the linear tripeptide δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N (IPN). The ACV analog δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteine (1-(S)-carboxy-2-thiomethyl)ethyl ester (ACOmC) has been synthesized as a mechanistic probe of IPNS catalysis and crystd. with the enzyme. The crystal structure of the anaerobic IPNS/Fe(II)/ACOmC complex was detd. to 1.80 Å resoln., revealing a highly congested active site region. By exposing these anaerobically grown crystals to high-pressure oxygen gas, an unexpected sulfenate product has been obsd., complexed to iron within the IPNS active site. A mechanism is proposed for formation of the sulfenate-iron complex, and it appears that ACOmC follows a different reaction pathway at the earliest stages of its reaction with IPNS. Thus it seems that oxygen (the cosubstrate) binds in a different site to that obsd. in previous studies with IPNS, displacing a water ligand from iron in the process. The iron-mediated conversion of metal-bound thiolate to sulfenate has not previously been obsd. in crystallog. studies with IPNS. This mode of reactivity is of particular interest when considered in the context of another family of nonheme iron enzymes, the nitrile hydratases, in which post-translational oxidn. of two cysteine thiolates to sulfenic and sulfinic acids is essential for enzyme activity. - 5Riggs-Gelasco, P.

(Nature Publishing Group)Non-heme Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent enzymes harness the reducing power of αKG to catalyze oxidative reactions, usually the hydroxylation of unactivated C atoms, and are involved in processes such as natural product biosynthesis, the mammalian hypoxic response, and DNA repair. These enzymes couple the decarboxylation of αKG with the formation of a high-energy ferryl-oxo intermediate that acts as a H-abstracting species. All previously structurally characterized mononuclear Fe-enzymes contain a 2-His, 1-carboxylate motif that coordinates the Fe. The 2 His residues and 1 carboxylate moiety, known as the 'facial triad', form one triangular side of an octahedral Fe coordination geometry. A subclass of mononuclear Fe-enzymes has been shown to catalyze halogenation reactions, rather than the more typical hydroxylation reaction. SyrB2, a member of this subclass, is a non-heme Fe(II)/αKG-dependent halogenase that catalyzes the chlorination of threonine in syringomycin E biosynthesis by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B301D. Here, the authors report the crystal structure of SyrB2 with both a Cl- ion and αKG coordinated to Fe at 1.6 Å resoln. This structure reveals a previously unknown coordination of Fe, in which the carboxylate ligand of the facial triad is replaced by a Cl- ion.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of O2 activation. In 2003, researchers 1st spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine-α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme Fe-contg. enzyme with a Fe active center was coordinated to a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad motif. In the same year, researchers obtained the 1st crystal structure of a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complex bearing a macrocyclic supporting ligand, [(TMC)FeIV(O)]2+ (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecene), in studies that mimicked the biol. enzymes. With these breakthrough results, many other studies have examd. mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates trapped in enzymic reactions or synthesized in biomimetic reactions. Over the past decade, researchers in the fields of biol., bioinorg., and oxidn. chem. have extensively investigated the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo species, leading to a wealth of information from these enzymic and biomimetic studies. Here, the authors summarize the reactivity and mechanisms of synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes in oxidn. reactions and examines factors that modulate their reactivities and change their reaction mechanisms. The authors focus on several reactions including the oxidn. of org. and inorg. compds., electron transfer, and O atom exchange with water by synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. In addn., the authors recently obsd. that C-H bond activation by nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo and other nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes does not follow the H-atom abstraction/oxygen-rebound mechanism, which has been well-established in heme systems. The structural and electronic effects of supporting ligands on the oxidizing power of Fe(IV)-oxo complexes are significant in these reactions. However, the difference in spin states between nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes with an octahedral geometry (with an S = 1 intermediate-spin state) or a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (with an S = 2 high-spin state) does not lead to a significant change in reactivity in biomimetic systems. Thus, the importance of the high-spin state of Fe(IV)-oxo species in nonheme Fe-contg. enzymes remains unexplained. The authors also discuss how the axial and equatorial ligands and binding of redox-inactive metal ions and protons to the Fe-oxo moiety influence the reactivities of the nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. The authors emphasize how these changes can enhance the oxidizing power of nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes in O atom transfer and electron-transfer reactions remarkably. The authors demonstrate great advancements in the understanding of the chem. of mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates within the last 10 yr.(d) Ray, K.; Pfaff, F. F.; Wang, B.; Nam, W.

Selective functionalization of unactivated C-H bonds, water oxidn., and dioxygen redn. are extremely important reactions in the context of finding energy carriers and conversion processes that are alternatives to the current fossil-based oil for energy. A range of metalloenzymes achieve these challenging tasks in biol. by using cheap and abundant transition metals, such as Fe, Cu, and Mn. High-valent metal-oxo and metal-O2 (superoxo, peroxo, and hydroperoxo) cores act as active intermediates in many of these processes. The generation of well-described model compds. can provide vital insights into the mechanisms of such enzymic reactions. Here, the authors provide a focused rather than comprehensive review of recent advances in the chem. of biomimetic high-valent metal-oxo and metal-O2 complexes, which can be related to an understanding of the biol. systems.(e) Oloo, W.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Recent efforts to design synthetic iron catalysts for the selective and efficient oxidn. of C-H and C=C bonds have been inspired by a versatile family of nonheme iron oxygenases. These bioinspired nonheme (N4)FeII catalysts use H2O2 to oxidize substrates with high regio- and stereoselectivity, unlike in Fenton chem. where highly reactive but unselective hydroxyl radicals are produced. In this Account, we highlight our efforts to shed light on the nature of metastable peroxo intermediates, which we have trapped at -40 °C, in the reactions of the iron catalyst with H2O2 under various conditions and the high-valent species derived therefrom. Under the reaction conditions that originally led to the discovery of this family of catalysts, we have characterized spectroscopically an FeIII-OOH intermediate (EPR gmax = 2.19) that leads to the hydroxylation of substrate C-H bonds or the epoxidn. and cis-dihydroxylation of C=C bonds. Surprisingly, these org. products show incorporation of 18O from H218O, thereby excluding the possibility of a direct attack of the FeIII-OOH intermediate on the substrate. Instead, a water-assisted mechanism is implicated in which water binding to the iron(III) center at a site adjacent to the hydroperoxo ligand promotes heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond to generate an FeV(O)(OH) oxidant. This mechanism is supported by recent kinetic studies showing that the FeIII-OOH intermediate undergoes exponential decay at a rate enhanced by the addn. of water and retarded by replacement of H2O with D2O, as well as mass spectral evidence for the FeV(O)(OH) species obtained by the Costas group. The nature of the peroxo intermediate changes significantly when the reactions are carried out in the presence of carboxylic acids. Under these conditions, spectroscopic studies support the formation of a (κ2-acylperoxo)iron(III) species (EPR gmax = 2.58) that decays at -40 °C in the absence of substrate to form an oxoiron(IV) byproduct, along with a carboxyl radical that readily loses CO2. The alkyl radical thus formed either reacts with O2 to form benzaldehyde (as in the case of PhCH2COOH) or rebounds with the incipient FeIV(O) moiety to form phenol (as in the case of C6F5COOH). Substrate addn. leads to its 2-e- oxidn. and inhibits these side reactions. The emerging mechanistic picture, supported by DFT calcns. of Wang and Shaik, describes a rather flat reaction landscape in which the (κ2-acylperoxo)iron(III) intermediate undergoes O-O bond homolysis reversibly to form an FeIV(O)(•OC(O)R) species that decays to FeIV(O) and RCO2• or isomerizes to its FeV(O)(O2CR) electromer, which effects substrate oxidn. Another short-lived S = 1/2 species just discovered by Talsi that has much less g-anisotropy (EPR gmax = 2.07) may represent either of these postulated high-valent intermediates. - 8(a) Groves, J.

In transformation of 5 to the corresponding oxoferryl (O:FeIV) porphyrin cation radicals (6) in CH2Cl2 at -80°, heterolytic O-O bond cleavage is 1st order. Introduction of electron-donating substituents at the meso-positions of the porphyrin ring facilitates the O-O bond cleavage in 5. Addn. of 1 equiv of imidazole derivs. to a CH2Cl2 soln. of 5 immediately gave an acylperoxoiron(III) porphyrin-imidazole adduct (9). Heterolytic bond cleavage in 9 6 also is 1st order in [9], and was accelerated by the coordination of electron-rich imidazole derivs. However, the push effect on the homolytic O-O bond cleavage reaction was examd. in toluene at -6° to ∼-40°. The homolytic O-O bond cleavage of 9 afforded the imidazole adduct of oxoferryl porphyrin complex when phenylperacetic acid was employed. Homolysis of the O-O bond is enhanced by the imidazole ligation; however, the push effect on homolysis is much less than that on heterolysis. These results explain the biol. use of strong electron-donor ligands in heme enzymes such as peroxidase, cytochrome P 450, and catalase.(e) Fujii, H.

The electronic structures of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals were investigated by low-temp. UV-visible absorption spectra and 1H NMR measurements. The absorption spectra features of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals of I changed with an increase of the electron-withdrawing power of ring substituents, while those of II did not. 1H NMR measurements demonstrated that oxoiron(IV) porphyrin radicals of I have an a1u radical character and that those of II are better described as an a2u radical species. The reactivities of oxygen atoms of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals were examd. by competitive epoxidn. of cyclohexene by two oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals with different radical orbital occupancies or oxidn. potentials. The reactivity of the O atom of the oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radical depends on its oxidn. potential and is not affected by the a1u/a2u orbital occupancy. - 9(a) Cussó, O.; Ribas, X.; Costas, M.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Iron coordination complexes with nitrogen and oxygen donor ligands have long since been known to react with peroxides producing powerful oxidizing species. These compds. can be regarded as simple structural and functional models of the active sites of non-heme iron dependent oxygenases. Research efforts during the last decade have uncovered basic principles and structural coordination chem. motifs that permit us to control the chem. that evolves when these iron complexes react with peroxides, in order to provide powerful metal-based, but at the same time selective, oxidising agents. Oxidn. methodologies with synthetic value are currently emerging from this approach. The current review focuses on asym. epoxidn., a reaction which has large value in synthesis, and where iron/H2O2 based methodologies may represent not only a sustainable choice, but may also expand the scope of state-of-the-art oxidn. methods. Basic principles that underlay catalyst design as well as H2O2 activation are discussed, while limitations and future perspectives are also reviewed.(b) Kleespies, S. T.; Oloo, W.

(American Chemical Society)The development of efficient and selective hydrocarbon oxidn. processes with low environmental impact remains a major challenge of the 21st century because of the strong and apolar nature of the C-H bond. Naturally occurring iron-contg. metalloenzymes can, however, selectively functionalize strong C-H bonds on substrates under mild and environmentally benign conditions. The key oxidant in a no. of these transformations is postulated to possess an S = 2 FeIV=O unit in a nonheme ligand environment. This oxidant has been trapped and spectroscopically characterized and its reactivity toward C-H bonds demonstrated for several nonheme iron enzyme classes. In order to obtain insight into the structure-activity relationships of these reactive intermediates, over 60 synthetic nonheme FeIV(O) complexes have been prepd. in various labs. and their reactivities investigated. This Forum Article summarizes the current status of efforts in the characterization of the C-H bond cleavage reactivity of synthetic FeIV(O) complexes and provides a snapshot of the current understanding of factors that control this reactivity, such as the properties of the supporting ligands and the spin state of the iron center. In addn., new results on the oxidn. of strong C-H bonds such as those of cyclohexane and n-butane by a putative S = 2 synthetic FeIV(O) species that is generated in situ using dioxygen at ambient conditions are presented. - 10(a) Chan, S.

With support by macrocyclic tertiary amine ligand 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me3tacn), a no. of mononuclear metal-ligand multiple bonded complexes were isolated.

These reactions were found to proceed via a Haber-Weiss-type electron-transfer reaction to generate alkoxo (RO√) and alkylperoxo (ROO√) radicals as reactive species. This electron transfer was mainly governed by the redox potentials of a complex employed as a catalyst. In addn., the environment around a ruthenium center(s) involving steric hindrance due to substituents on the pyridine rings and an intramol. π-π interaction, should be also significant to regulate the reactivity of the catalyst; probably in terms of shielding of the ruthenium center(s) against the approach of peroxides to undergo the electron transfer. For those reactions with alkyl hydroperoxides, O2 generated from peroxide decompn. plays an important role in promoting reactions as a radical chain carrier.

(American Chemical Society)[FeIV(O)(TMG3tren)]2+ (1; TMG3tren = 1,1,1-tris{2-[N2-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino)]ethyl}amine) is a unique example of an isolable synthetic S = 2 oxoiron(IV) complex, which serves as a model for the high-valent oxoiron(IV) intermediates obsd. in nonheme iron enzymes. Congruent with DFT calcns. predicting a more reactive S = 2 oxoiron(IV) center, 1 has a lifetime significantly shorter than those of related S = 1 oxoiron(IV) complexes. The self-decay of 1 exhibits strictly first-order kinetic behavior and is unaffected by solvent deuteration, suggesting an intramol. process. This hypothesis was supported by ESI-MS anal. of the iron products and a significant retardation of self-decay upon use of a perdeuteromethyl TMG3tren isotopomer, d36-1 (KIE = 24 at 25°C). The greatly enhanced thermal stability of d36-1 allowed growth of diffraction quality crystals for which a high-resoln. crystal structure was obtained. This structure showed an Fe=O unit (r = 1.661(2) Å) in the intended trigonal bipyramidal geometry enforced by the sterically bulky tetramethylguanidinyl donors of the tetradentate tripodal TMG3tren ligand. The close proximity of the Me substituents to the oxoiron unit yielded three sym. oriented short C-D···O nonbonded contacts (2.38-2.49 Å), an arrangement that facilitated self-decay by rate-detg. intramol. hydrogen atom abstraction and subsequent formation of a ligand-hydroxylated iron(III) product. EPR and Mossbauer quantification of the various iron products, referenced against those obtained from reaction of 1 with 1,4-cyclohexadiene, allowed formulation of a detailed mechanism for the self-decay process. The soln. of this first crystal structure of a high-spin (S = 2) oxoiron(IV) center represents a fundamental step on the path toward a full understanding of these pivotal biol. intermediates.(b) Klinker, E.

Herein the authors describe the synthesis of MnIV(OH)(ttppc) (3) (ttppc = tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl) corrole), which was characterized by XRD. The large steric encumbrance of the ttppc ligand allowed for isolation of 3. The complexes MnV(O)(ttppc) (4) and MnIII(H2O)(ttppc) (1·H2O) were also synthesized and structurally characterized, providing Mn complexes related only by the transfer of H atoms. Both 3 and 4 abstr. an H atom from the O-H bond of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) to give a radical coupling product in good yield (3 = 90(2)%, 4 = 91(5)%).

Reaction of 3 with para-substituted 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol derivs. (4-X-2,6-DTBP; X = OMe, Me, tBu, H) gives rate consts. in the range k2 = 510(10)-36(1.4) M-1 s-1 and led to Hammett and Marcus plot correlations. Together with kinetic isotope effect measurements, O-H cleavage occurs by a concerted H atom transfer (HAT) mechanism and the MnIV(OH) complex is a much more powerful H atom abstractor than the higher-valent MnV(O) complex, or even some FeIV(O) complexes.(c) Halbach, R.

Because exchange of the oxo ligand with H2O is slow, the easily synthesized, stable, cryst. Me2(H18O18O)CCH2CH2C(18O18OH)Me2 was prepd. and used to conveniently synthesized 18O-labeled oxo complexes in high yields. The bonding of the 2 unique oxidn.-resistant macrocyclic tetraamides to Cr is compared. The structural and EPR properties are consistent with a Cr-centered radical in each case and suggest that a Cr(V) oxidn. state assignment is equally appropriate whether the ancillary ligand is the innocent [η4-L]4- or the potentially noninnocent [η4-L1]4-. Both oxo complexes contain nonplanar amide groups. The distortions of [Cr(O)(η4-L)]- are more marked, and it is a unique species in contg. 4 distinctly nonplanar amides. The discovery of these unusual structural parameters expands the class of nonplanar amides arising from ring constraint. Me4N[CrOL] is orthorhombic, space group P212121, Z = 4 whereas Me4N[CrOL1] is monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4.(c) Srinivasan, K.; Kochi, J. K.

X-ray crystallog. anal. of [CrOL]X (H2L = 7,7'-dimethyl deriv.) indicates that the 5-coordinate Cr atom is situated 0.53 Å above the Schiff base (mean) plane and describes a square-pyramidal configuration with the oxo ligand occupying the apical position. Isotopic 18O-substitution leads to a shift in the O:Cr stretching frequency from 1004 to 965 cm-1 in accord with theor. predictions. Similarly the magnetic susceptibility and the well-resolved isotropic ESR spectra reliably reflect the d1 electron configuration of the oxochromium(V) species in CH3CN solns. CrOL+ and various donor ligands such as pyridine N-oxide (Q), Ph3PO, and H2O form 1:1 assocn. complexes, the formation consts. K of which vary from 10-2 to 103 M-1, depending on the donor ligand and the substituent groups located on the Schiff base periphery. X-ray crystallog. detn. of [CrOLQ]X (H2L = 5,5'-dichloro-8,8,8'8'-tetramethyl deriv.) indicates that the donor ligand fills the apical position in CrOL+ to complete the octahedral coordination about Cr. Isotopic 18O-tracer studies of the formation of oxochromium(V) by O atom transfer to the Cr(III) complex are described.

(American Chemical Society)A force field for vanadium-oxos was developed and tested with a variety of complexes with coordination nos. of 5 or 6 and formal oxidns. states of +4 or +5 on the metal. Similarly, a semiempirical quantum mech. method for transition metals was extended to vanadium. In this research soft and hard ligands were studied, as were ligands coordinated through single, multiple, and dative bonds. Despite the diversity of vanadium coordination chem., generally good modeling is achieved in a fraction of the time with less computational resources using mol. mechanics and semiempirical quantum mechanics. The L4V4+O and L5V5+O groups were emphasized given their prevalence and importance. In general, the predictive ability was superior for the former structural motif. The combination of mol. mechanics and semiempirical quantum calcns. provide an effective and efficient tool for anal. of the steric and electronic energy differences between isomers.(b) Mchiri, C.; Amiri, N.; Jabli, S.; Roisnel, T.; Nasri, H.

(Elsevier B.V.)The present work is concerned with the oxo V(IV) complex of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octachloro-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tolylporphyrin) [V(Cl8TTP)O] (1), which was prepd. by reacting the (oxo)[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tolylporphyrinato)]vanadium(IV) complex ([V(TTP)O]), under aerobic atm., with a large excess of thionyl chloride (SOCl2). The title compd. was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and x-ray crystal structure. The electron-withdrawing Cl substituents at the pyrrole carbons in the vanadyl-Cl8TTP deriv. produce remarkable red shifts of the Soret and Q absorption bands and an important anodic shift of the porphyrin ring oxidn. and redn. potentials. This is an indication that the porphyrin core of 1 is severely nonplanar in soln. The mol. structure of the vanadyl deriv. shows a very high saddle distortion and an important ruffled deformation of the porphyrin macrocycle. The crystal structure of 1 consists of 1-dimensional chains parallel to the c axis where channels are located between these chains.(c) Abernethy, C. D.; Codd, G. M.; Spicer, M. D.; Taylor, M. K.

(American Chemical Society)Reaction of 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene and trichloro-oxo-vanadium(V) yields an air stable 1:1 adduct, which demonstrates the utility of N-heterocyclic carbenes to stabilize metal complexes in high oxidn. states. The stabilizing influence of the carbene ligand was further demonstrated electrochem. The mol. structure of this compd. reveals that the chloride ligands cis to the carbene are oriented toward the Ccarbene atom. D. functional theory calcns. on a hypothetical dimethyl- deriv. show that a bonding interaction occurs between lone pairs of these chlorides and the formally unoccupied p-orbital of the carbene. Previous studies indicated that this orbital was not involved in the bonding of N-heterocyclic carbenes to transition metals. The obsd. interaction therefore represents a new bonding mode for these widely used ligands. - 16(a) Kojima, T.; Nakayama, K.; Ikemura, K.; Ogura, T.; Fukuzumi, S.

The crystal structure of the Ru(IV)-oxo complex 2 was detd. by X-ray crystallog. In 2, the TPA ligand partially dissocs. to be in a facial tridentate fashion and the uncoordinated pyridine moiety is protonated. The spin state of 2, which showed paramagnetically shifted NMR signals in the range of 60 to -20 ppm, was detd. to be an intermediate spin (S = 1) by the Evans' method with 1H NMR spectroscopy in acetone-d6. The reaction of 2 with various org. substrates in acetonitrile at room temp. afforded oxidized and oxygenated products and a solvent-bound complex, [Ru(H+TPA)(bpy)(CH3CN)], which is intact in the presence of alcs. The oxygenation reaction of satd. C-H bonds with 2 proceeds by two-step processes: the hydrogen abstraction with 2, followed by the dissocn. of the alc. products from the oxygen-rebound complexes, Ru(III)-alkoxo complexes, which were successfully detected by ESI-MS spectrometry. The kinetic isotope effects in the first step for the reaction of dihydroanthrathene (DHA) and cumene with 2 were detd. to be 49 and 12, resp.

(American Chemical Society)Oxo-iron(V) species have been implicated in the catalytic cycle of the Rieske dioxygenase. Its synthetic analog, [FeV(O)(OC(O)CH3)(PyNMe3)]2+ (1, PyNMe3 = 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9- trimethyl), derived from the O-O bond cleavage of its acetylperoxo iron(III) precursor, has been shown exptl. to perform regio- and stereo-selective C-H and C=C bond functionalization. However, its structure-activity relation is poorly understood. Herein we present a detailed electronic-structure and spectroscopic anal. of complex 1 along with well-characterized oxo-iron(V) complexes, [FeV(O)(TAML)]- (2, TAML = tetraamido macrocyclic ligand), [FeV(O)(TMC)(NC(O)CH3)]+ (4, TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and [FeV(O)(TMC)(NC(OH)CH3)]2+ (4-H+) using wavefunction-based multireference complete active-space SCF calcns. Our results reveal that the x/y anisotropy of the 57Fe A-matrix is not a reliable spectroscopic marker to identify oxo-iron(V) species, and that the drastically different Ax and Ay values detd. for complexes 1, 4 and 4-H+ have distinctive origins compared to complex 2, a genuine oxo-iron(V) species. Complex 1, in fact, has a dominant character of [FeIV(O•••OC(O)CH3)2-•]2+, i.e. an SFe = 1 iron(IV) center antiferromagnetically coupled to an O-O σ* radical, where the O-O bond has not been completely broken. Complex 4 is best described as a triplet ferryl unit that strongly interacts with the trans acetylimidyl radical in an antiferromagnetic fashion, [FeIV(O)(•N=C(O-)CH3)]+. Complex 4-H+ features a similar electronic structure, [FeIV(O)(•N=C(OH)CH3)]2+. Owing to the remaining approx. half σ-bond in the O-O moiety, complex 1 can arrange two electron-accepting orbitals (α σ* O-O and β Fe-dxz) in such a way that both orbitals can simultaneously interact with the doubly occupied electron-donating orbitals (σC-H or πC-C). Hence, complex 1 can promote a concerted yet asynchronous two-electron oxidn. of the C-H and C=C bonds, which nicely explains the stereospecificity obsd. for complex 1 and the related species.(b) Ye, S.; Geng, C.-Y.; Shaik, S.; Neese, F.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. This perspective discusses the principles of the multistate scenario often encountered in transition metal catalyzed reactions, and is organized as follows. First, several important theor. concepts (phys. vs. formal oxidn. states, orbital interactions, use of (spin) natural and corresponding orbitals, exchange enhanced reactivity and the connection between valence bond and MO based electronic structure anal.) are presented. These concepts are then used to analyze the electronic structure changes occurring in the reaction of C-H bond oxidn. by FeIVoxo species. The anal. reveals that the energy sepn. and the overlap between the electron donating orbitals and electron accepting orbitals of the FeIVoxo complexes dictate the reaction stereochem., and that the manner in which the exchange interaction changes depends on the identity of these orbitals. The electronic reorganization of the FeIVoxo species during the reaction is thoroughly analyzed and it is shown that the FeIVoxo reactant develops oxyl radical character, which interacts effectively with the σCH orbital of the alkane. The factors that det. the energy barrier for the reaction are discussed in terms of MO and valence bond concepts.(c) Ogliaro, F.; de Visser, S. P.; Groves, J. T.; Shaik, S.

(American Chemical Society)A review with 75 refs. Spectroscopy has played a major role in the definition of structure/function correlations in bioinorg. chem. The importance of spectroscopy combined with electronic structure calcns. is clearly demonstrated by the non-heme iron enzymes. Many members of this large class of enzymes activate dioxygen using a ferrous active site that has generally been difficult to study with most spectroscopic methods. A new spectroscopic methodol. has been developed utilizing variable temp., variable field magnetic CD, which enables one to obtain detailed insight into the geometric and electronic structure of the non-heme ferrous active site and probe its reaction mechanism on a mol. level. This spectroscopic methodol. is presented and applied to a no. of key mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes leading to a general mechanistic strategy for O2 activation. These studies are then extended to consider the new features present in the binuclear non-heme iron enzymes and applied to understand (1) the mechanism of the two electron/coupled proton transfer to dioxygen binding to a single iron center in hemerythrin and (2) structure/function correlations over the oxygen-activating enzymes stearoyl-ACP Δ9-desaturase, ribonucleotide reductase, and methane monooxygenase. Electronic structure/reactivity correlations for O2 activation by non-heme relative to heme iron enzymes will also be developed. - 25Yang, X.; Baik, M.-H.

(American Chemical Society)A review. High-valent iron(IV)-oxo species have been implicated as the key reactive intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by heme and non-heme iron enzymes. Our understanding of the enzymic reactions has improved greatly via investigation of spectroscopic and chem. properties of heme and non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complexes. In this Account, reactivities of synthetic iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin π-cation radicals and mononuclear non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complexes in oxygenation reactions have been discussed as chem. models of cytochrome P 450 and non-heme iron enzymes.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of O2 activation. In 2003, researchers 1st spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine-α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme Fe-contg. enzyme with a Fe active center was coordinated to a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad motif. In the same year, researchers obtained the 1st crystal structure of a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complex bearing a macrocyclic supporting ligand, [(TMC)FeIV(O)]2+ (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecene), in studies that mimicked the biol. enzymes. With these breakthrough results, many other studies have examd. mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates trapped in enzymic reactions or synthesized in biomimetic reactions. Over the past decade, researchers in the fields of biol., bioinorg., and oxidn. chem. have extensively investigated the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo species, leading to a wealth of information from these enzymic and biomimetic studies. Here, the authors summarize the reactivity and mechanisms of synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes in oxidn. reactions and examines factors that modulate their reactivities and change their reaction mechanisms. The authors focus on several reactions including the oxidn. of org. and inorg. compds., electron transfer, and O atom exchange with water by synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. In addn., the authors recently obsd. that C-H bond activation by nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo and other nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes does not follow the H-atom abstraction/oxygen-rebound mechanism, which has been well-established in heme systems. The structural and electronic effects of supporting ligands on the oxidizing power of Fe(IV)-oxo complexes are significant in these reactions. However, the difference in spin states between nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes with an octahedral geometry (with an S = 1 intermediate-spin state) or a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (with an S = 2 high-spin state) does not lead to a significant change in reactivity in biomimetic systems. Thus, the importance of the high-spin state of Fe(IV)-oxo species in nonheme Fe-contg. enzymes remains unexplained. The authors also discuss how the axial and equatorial ligands and binding of redox-inactive metal ions and protons to the Fe-oxo moiety influence the reactivities of the nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. The authors emphasize how these changes can enhance the oxidizing power of nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes in O atom transfer and electron-transfer reactions remarkably. The authors demonstrate great advancements in the understanding of the chem. of mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates within the last 10 yr. - 27(a) Bryant, J. R.; Mayer, J. M.

The kinetic isotope effect for oxidn. of DHA vs DHA-d4 gives kH/kD ≥ 35 ± 1.

This mechanism also appears to apply to the oxidns. of toluene, ethylbenzene, cumene, indene, and cyclohexene. The rate consts. for H-atom abstraction from these substrates correlate well with the strength of the C-H bond that is cleaved. Rate consts. for abstraction from DHA and toluene also correlate with those for oxygen radicals and other oxidants. The rate const. for H-atom transfer from toluene to [(bpy)2(py)RuIVO]2+ appears to be close to that predicted by the Marcus cross relation, using a tentative rate const. for hydrogen atom self-exchange between [(bpy)2(py)RuIIIOH]2+ and [(bpy)2(py)RuIVO]2+.(b) Saouma, C.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The prevalence of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions in chem. and biol. systems has prompted much interest in establishing and understanding the underlying factors that enable this reactivity. Arguments have been advanced that the electronic spin state of the abstractor and/or the spin-d. at the abstracting atom are crit. for HAT reactivity. This is consistent with the intuition derived from introductory org. chem. courses. Alternative view on the role of spin state and spin d. in HAT reactions. After a brief introduction, the second section introduces a new and simple fundamental kinetic anal., which shows that unpaired spin cannot be the dominant effect. The third section examines published computational studies of HAT reactions, which indicates that the spin state affects these reactions indirectly, primarily via changes in driving force. The essay concludes with a broader view of HAT reactivity, including indirect effects of spin and other properties. It is suggested that some of the controversy in this area may arise from the diversity of HAT reactions and their overlap with proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions. - 28Wang, B.; Lee, Y.-M.; Tcho, W.-Y.; Tussupbayev, S.; Kim, S.-T.; Kim, Y.; Seo, M.

(Nature Publishing Group)Terminal cobalt(IV)-oxo (CoIV-O) species have been implicated as key intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidn. reactions. Herein we report the photocatalytic generation of a mononuclear non-haem [(13-TMC)CoIV(O)]2+ (2) by irradiating [CoII(13-TMC)(CF3SO3)]+ (1) in the presence of [RuII(bpy)3]2+, Na2S2O8, and water as an oxygen source. The intermediate 2 was also obtained by reacting 1 with an artificial oxidant (i.e., iodosylbenzene) and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. In particular, the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 reveals a diat. Co-O vibration band at 770 cm-1, which provides the conclusive evidence for the presence of a terminal Co-O bond. In reactivity studies, 2 was shown to be a competent oxidant in an intermetal oxygen atom transfer, C-H bond activation and olefin epoxidn. reactions. The present results lend strong credence to the intermediacy of CoIV-O species in cobalt-catalyzed oxidn. of org. substrates as well as in the catalytic oxidn. of water that evolves mol. oxygen.

(Nature Publishing Group)Terminal oxo complexes of transition metals have crit. roles in various biol. and chem. processes. For example, the catalytic oxidn. of org. mols., some oxidative enzymic transformations, and the activation of dioxygen on metal surfaces are all thought to involve oxo complexes. Moreover, they are believed to be key intermediates in the photocatalytic oxidn. of water to give mol. oxygen, a topic of intensive global research aimed at artificial photosynthesis and water splitting. The terminal oxo ligand is a strong π-electron donor, so it readily forms stable complexes with high-valent early transition metals. As the d orbitals are filled up with valence electrons, the terminal oxo ligand becomes destabilized. Here we present evidence for a dn (n > 5) terminal oxo complex that is not stabilized by an electron withdrawing ligand framework. This d6 Pt(IV) complex exhibits reactivity as an inter- and intramol. oxygen donor and as an electrophile. In addn., it undergoes a water activation process leading to a terminal dihydroxo complex, which may be relevant to the mechanism of catalytic reactions such as water oxidn.(b) Efremenko, I.; Poverenov, E.; Martin, J.

(American Chemical Society)The recently published [(PCN)Pt:O]+ complex is interesting as a unique example of a stable d6 terminal transition metal oxo complex not stabilized by electron withdrawing ligands and as a model of oxo complexes frequently implicated as key intermediates in various processes of oxygen transfer. In the present work, we report an extensive DFT study of its geometric and electronic structure, compn. in soln., and reactivity. The thermodn. data and calcd. 195Pt NMR chem. shifts reveal that one solvent mol. is weakly coordinated to the complex in acetone soln. This ancillary ligand is responsible for the diamagnetic state of the complex, retards intramol. oxygen transfer, and facilitates CO oxidn. Chem. transformations of the coordinated acetone mol., coordination of other ancillary ligands present in the reaction mixt., and protonation of the Pt-oxo group in nonacidic media are excluded based on thermodn. or kinetic considerations. Bonding of the terminal oxo ligand with strong electrophiles presents the key interaction in the mechanisms of intramol. oxygen insertion into the Pt-P bond, in CO oxidn. and in water activation mediated by microsolvation. Low affinity of the terminal oxo ligand toward "soft" covalent interactions brings about intermediate formation of agostic hydrido and hydroxo complexes along the reaction pathway of dihydrogen oxidn. Stabilization of the Pt-oxo bonding is attributed to bending of the terminal oxo ligand out of the plane of the complex and to significant transfer of electron d. from compact low lying Pt 5d orbitals to more diffuse 6s and 6p orbitals. - 30(a) Zhou, M.; Schley, N.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. The enhancement of the reactivity of peroxides, particularly H2O2 and alkylhydroperoxides, in the presence of V catalysis is a very known process. The catalytic effect is detd. by the formation of an intermediate whose nature depends on the peroxides used and on its interaction with the metal precursor, high-valent peroxo V species being usually the reactive oxidants. During the last decades the mechanistic details for several types of oxidn. reactions have been elucidated. In a no. of cases theor. calcns. offered support to the proposed reaction pathways. In general, V(V) peroxo species behave as electrophilic O transfer reagents thus reacting preferentially with the more nucleophilic functional group present in the mol. In several instances the chemoselectivity obsd. in such processes is very high when not abs. As far as V peroxides are concerned, a radical oxidative reactivity toward alkanes and aroms. was also obsd.; also for this latter chem., diverse research groups studied in detail the mechanism. However, no clear-cut evidence of nucleophilic reactivity of V peroxo complexes was obtained. Here the authors collect a selection of recent achievements concerning the reaction mechanisms in the V catalyzed oxidn. and bromination reactions with peroxides.(b) Waidmann, C. R.; DiPasquale, A.

That VVO2 is generated 1st appears to be due to the ability of VIVO(OH) to act as a hydrogen atom donor. For instance, VIVO(OH) reacts with VVO(O2) to give VVO2. VVO(O2) is also slowly reduced to VIVO(OH) by the org. hydrogen atom donors hydroquinone and TEMPOH (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol) as well as by PPh3.

The facile two-electron redn. of [(tpfc)CrV(O)] by 2 equiv of Me8Fc in the presence of excess TFA produced the corresponding chromium(III) corrole [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] via fast electron transfer from Me8Fc to [(tpfc)CrV(O)] followed by double protonation of [(tpfc)CrIV(O)]- and facile second-electron transfer from Me8Fc. The rate-detg. step in the catalytic two-electron redn. of O2 by Me8Fc in the presence of excess TFA is inner-sphere electron transfer from [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] to O2 to produce the chromium(IV) superoxo species [(tpfc)CrIV(O2•-)], followed by fast proton-coupled electron transfer redn. of [(tpfc)CrIV(O2•-)] by Me8Fc to yield H2O2, accompanied by regeneration of [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)]. Thus, although the catalytic two-electron redn. of O2 by Me8Fc was started by [(tpfc)CrV(O)], no regeneration of [(tpfc)CrV(O)] was obsd. in the presence of excess TFA, regardless of the tetragonal chromium complex being to the left of the oxo wall. In the presence of a stoichiometric amt. of TFA, however, disproportionation of [(tfpc)CrIV(O)]- occurred via the protonated species [(tpfc)CrIV(OH)] to produce [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] and [(tpfc)CrV(O)].(b) Premsingh, S.; Venkataramanan, N.

(American Chemical Society)The kinetics of oxidn. of 16 meta-, ortho-, and para-substituted anilines with nine oxo(salen)chromium(V) ions have been studied by spectrophotometric, ESIMS, and EPR techniques. During the course of the reaction, two new peaks with λmax at 470 and 730 nm appear in the absorption spectrum, and these peaks are due to the formation of emeraldine forms of oligomers of aniline supported by the ESIMS peaks with m/z values 274 and 365 (for the trimer and tetramer of aniline). The rate of the reaction is highly sensitive to the change of substituents in the aryl moiety of aniline and in the salen ligand of chromium(V) complexes. Application of the Hammett equation to analyze kinetic data yields a ρ value of -3.8 for the substituent variation in aniline and +2.2 for the substituent variation in the salen ligand of the metal complex. On the basis of the spectral, kinetic, and product anal. studies, a mechanism involving an electron transfer from the nitrogen of aniline to the metal complex in the rate controlling step has been proposed. The Marcus equation has been successfully applied to this system, and the calcd. values are compliant with the measured values. - 34Blakemore, J. D.; Crabtree, R. H.; Brudvig, G. W.

Evidence is provided for water being the source of evolved O2, and for the requirement of a high valent multinuclear Mn species for O2 evolution. We test the possibility of complications in the use of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in oxidn. chem. due to the presence of the oxidizable NH4+ ion.

(American Chemical Society)Photolysis of water, a long-studied strategy for storing solar energy, involves two half-reactions: the redn. of protons to dihydrogen and the oxidn. of water to dioxygen. Proton redn. is well-understood, with catalysts achieving quantum yields of 34% when driven by visible light. Water oxidn., on the other hand, is much less advanced, typically involving expensive metal centers and rarely working in conjunction with a photochem. powered system. Before further progress can be made in the field of water splitting, significant developments in the catalysis of oxygen evolution are needed. Herein the authors present an iron-centered tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (Fe-TAML) that efficiently catalyzes the oxidative conversion of water to dioxygen. When the catalyst is combined in unbuffered soln. with ceric ammonium nitrate, its turnover frequency exceeds 1.3 s-1. Real-time UV-vis and oxygen monitoring of the active complex give insights into the reaction and decay kinetics. - 38Brunschwig, B. S.; Chou, M. H.; Creutz, C.; Ghosh, P.; Sutin, N.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Work on the electronic structures of metal-oxo complexes began in Copenhagen over fifty years ago. This work led to the prediction that tetragonal multiply bonded transition metal-oxos would not be stable beyond the iron-ruthenium-osmium oxo wall in the periodic table, and that triply bonded metal-oxos could not be protonated, even in the strongest Bronsted acids. In this theory, only doubled bonded metal-oxos could attract protons, with basicities a function of the electron donating ability of ancillary ligands. Such correlations of electronic structure with reactivity have gained importance in recent years, most notably owing to the widespread recognition that high-valent iron-oxos are intermediates in biol. reactions crit. to life on Earth. In this Account we focus attention on the oxygenations of inert org. substrates by cytochromes P 450, as these reactions involve multiply bonded iron-oxos. We emphasize that P 450 iron-oxos are strong oxidants, so strong that they would destroy nearby amino acids if substrates are not oxygenated rapidly; it is our view that these high valent iron oxos are such dangerous reactive oxygen species that Nature surely found ways to disable them. Looking more deeply into this matter, mainly by examg. many thousands of structures in the protein data bank, we have found that P450s and other enzymes that require oxygen for function have chains of tyrosines and tryptophans that extend from active-site regions to protein surfaces. Tyrosines are near the heme active sites in bacterial P450s, whereas tryptophan is closest in most human enzymes. High-valent iron-oxo survival times taken from hole hopping maps range from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds, depending on the distance of the closest Trp or Tyr residue to the heme. In our proposed mechanism, multistep hole tunneling (hopping) through Tyr/Trp chains guides the damaging oxidizing hole to the protein surface, where it can be quenched by sol. protein or small mol. reductants. As the Earth's oxygenic atm. is believed to have developed about 2.5 billion years ago, the increase in occurrence frequency of tyrosine and tryptophan since the last universal evolutionary ancestor may be in part a consequence of enzyme protective functions that developed to cope with the environmental toxin - O2. - 41Holm, R.

(American Chemical Society)Terminal oxo complexes of the late transition metals Pt, Pd, and Au are reported by the authors in Science and Journal of the American Chem. Society. Despite thoroughness in characterizing these complexes (multiple independent structural methods and up to 17 anal. methods in one case), the authors have continued to study these structures. Initial work on these systems was motivated by structural data from x-ray crystallog. and neutron diffraction and 17O and 31P NMR signatures which all indicated differences from all previously published compds. With significant new data, the authors now revisit these studies. New x-ray crystal structures of previously reported complexes K14[P2W19O69(OH2)] and K10Na3[PdIV(O)(OH)WO(OH2)(PW9O34)2] and a closer examn. of these structures are provided.

These and considerable other data collectively indicate that previously assigned terminal Pt-oxo and Au-oxo complexes are in fact cocrystals of the all-tungsten structural analogs with noble metal cations, while the Pd-oxo complex is a disordered Pd(II)-substituted polyoxometalate. The neutron diffraction data were re-analyzed, and new refinements are fully consistent with the all-tungsten formulations of the Pt-oxo and Au-oxo polyoxometalate species. - 43Stull, J.

(American Chemical Society)The Ru blue dimer [(bpy)2Ru(OH2)]2O4+-the 1st well-defined mol. complex able to catalyze H2O oxidn. at low overpotentials-was the subject of numerous exptl. and computational studies. However, elements of the reaction mechanism remain controversial. Of particular interest is the nature of the O-O bond-forming step. Herein, the authors report the 1st advanced EPR spectroscopic studies of a high-valent intermediate that appears under conditions in which the catalyst is actively turning over. Results from previous studies suggested that this intermediate is derived from [(bpy)2RuV(O)]2O4+, denoted {5,5}. Under photooxidizing conditions, the corresponding EPR signal disappears at a rate comparable to the turnover rate of the catalyst once the illumination source is removed. The electronic and geometric structures of this species were explored using a variety of EPR techniques. Continuous wave (CW) EPR spectroscopy was used to probe the hyperfine coupling of the Ru ions, while corresponding ligand 14N hyperfine couplings were characterized with electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy (HYSCORE) methods. Finally, 1H/2H ENDOR was performed to monitor any exchangeable protons. The authors' studies strongly suggest that the accumulating transient is an S = 1/2 species. This spin state formulation of the so-called {5,5} species is consistent with only a limited no. of electronic structures, each of which is discussed. Notably, the obsd. large metal hyperfine coupling indicates that the orbital carrying the unpaired spin has significant ruthenyl-oxyl character, contrary to an earlier electronic structure description that had tentatively assigned the signal to formation of a bipyridine ligand radical. - 44(a) Gajhede, M.; Schuller, D.

(Nature America)The crystal structure of horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme C (I) was solved to 2.15 Å resoln. An important feature unique to the class III peroxidases is a long insertion, 34 residues in I, between helixes F and G. This region, which defines part of the substrate access channel, is not present in the core conserved fold typical of peroxidases from classes I and II. Comparison of I and peanut peroxidase (II), the only other class III (higher plant) peroxidase for which an x-ray structure has been completed, reveals that the structure in this region is highly variable even within class III. For peroxidases of the I type, characterized by a larger FG insertion (7 residues relative to II) and a shorter F' helix, the authors identified the key residue involved in direct interactions with arom. donor mols. I is unique in having a ring of 3 peripheral Phe residues, 142, 68, and 179. These guard the entrance to the exposed heme edge. The authors predict that this arom. region is important for the ability of I to bind arom. substrates.(b) Rodríguez-López, J. N.; Lowe, D. J.; Hernández-Ruiz, J.; Hiner, A. N.

(American Chemical Society)The mechanism of the reaction of horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme C (HRPC) with H2O2 to form reactive enzyme intermediate compd. I was studied using electronic absorbance, rapid-scan stopped-flow, and ESR spectroscopies at both acid and basic pH. The roles of active site residues His-42 and Arg-38 in controlling heterolytic cleavage of the H2O2 O-O bond were probed with site-directed mutant enzymes H42L, R38L, and R38G. The biphasic reaction kinetics of H42L with H2O2 suggested the presence of an intermediate species and, at acid pH, a reversible 2nd step, probably due to a neutral enzyme-H2O2 complex and the ferric-peroxoanion-contg. compd. 0. ESR also indicated the formation of a protein radical situated more than ∼10 Å from the heme Fe. The stoichiometry of the reaction of the H42L/H2O2 reaction product and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazolinesulfonic acid) (ABTS) was concn.-dependent and fell from a value of 2 to 1 above 0.7 mM ABTS. These data could be explained if H2O2 underwent homolytic cleavage in H42L. The apparent rate of compd. I formation by H42L, while low, was pH-independent in contrast to wild-type HRPC where the rate fell at acid pH, indicating the involvement of an ionizable group with pKa of ∼4. In R38L and R38G, the apparent pKa was shifted to ∼8, but there was no evidence that homolytic cleavage of H2O2 occurred. These data suggest that His-42 acts initially as a proton acceptor (base catalyst) and then as a donor (acid catalyst) at neutral pH and predict the obsd. slower rate and lower efficiency of heterolytic cleavage obsd. at acid pH. Arg-38 was influential in lowering the pKa of His-42 and addnl. in aligning H2O2 in the active site, but it did not play a direct role in proton transfer. - 45(a) Dubey, K. D.; Shaik, S.

CYP450 is a nanomachine that uses dioxygen and two reducing and two proton equivalents to oxidize a plethora of molecules (so-called substrates) as a means of supplying bio-organisms with essential molecules (e.g., brain neurotransmitters, sex hormones, etc.) and protecting biosystems against poisoning. An enticing property of CYP450s is that entrance of an oxidizable substrate into the active site initiates a series of events that constitute the catalytic cycle, which functions "automatically" in a regulated sequence of events culminating in the production of the oxidized substrates (e.g., hydroxylated, epoxidized, etc.), oftentimes with remarkable stereo- and regioselectivities. It is timely to demonstrate how theory uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) calculations to complement experiments and elucidate the choreography by which the protein regulates the catalytic cycle. CYP450 is a heme enzyme that contains a ferric ion (Fe(III)) coordinated by a porphyrin ligand, a water molecule, and a cysteinate ligand that is provided by a strategic residue of the encapsulating protein. While many of the individual steps are sufficiently well-understood, we shall provide here an overview of the factors that cause all of the steps to be sequentially coordinated. To this end, we use examples from three different CYP450 enzymes: the bacterial ones CYP450BM3 and CYP450CAM and the mammalian enzyme CYP4503A4. The treatment is limited to the catalytic cycle, as aspects of two-state reactivity were reviewed previously (e.g., Shaik , S. ; et al. Chem. Rev. 2005 , 105 , 2279 ). What are the principles that govern the seeming automatic feature? For example, how do substrate entrance and binding gate the enzyme? How does the reductase attachment to the enzyme affect the next steps? What triggers the attachment of the reductase? How does the electron transfer (ET) that converts Fe(III) to Fe(II) occur? Is the ET coordinated with the entrance of O2 into the active site? What is the mechanism of the latter step? Since the entrance of the substrate expels the water molecules from the active site, how do water molecules re-enter to form a proton channel, which is necessary for creating the ultimate oxidant Compound I? How do mutations that disrupt the water channel nevertheless create a competent oxidant? By what means does the enzyme produce regio- and stereoselective oxidation products? What triggers the departure of the oxidized product, and how does the exit occur in a manner that generates the resting state ready for the next cycle? This Account shows that the entrance of the substrate triggers all of the ensuing events.(b) Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. Hydrocarbon Hydroxylation by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes. Chem.

(American Chemical Society)The Fe(II)- and α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenases have roles in synthesis of collagen and sensing of oxygen in mammals, in acquisition of nutrients and synthesis of antibiotics in microbes, and in repair of alkylated DNA in both. A consensus mechanism for these enzymes, involving (i) addn. of O2 to a five-coordinate, (His)2(Asp)-facially coordinated Fe(II) center to which αKG is also bound via its C-1 carboxylate and ketone oxygen; (ii) attack of the uncoordinated oxygen of the bound O2 on the ketone carbonyl of αKG to form a bicyclic Fe(IV)-peroxyhemiketal complex; (iii) decarboxylation of this complex concomitantly with formation of an oxo-ferryl (Fe(IV):O2-) intermediate; and (iv) hydroxylation of the substrate by the Fe(IV):O2- complex via a substrate radical intermediate, has repeatedly been proposed, but none of the postulated intermediates occurring after addn. of O2 has ever been detected. An oxidized Fe intermediate in the reaction of one of these enzymes, taurine/α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD) from Escherichia coli, has been directly demonstrated by rapid kinetic and spectroscopic methods. Characterization of the intermediate and its one-electron-reduced form (obtained by low-temp. γ-radiolysis of the trapped intermediate) by Moessbauer and ESR spectroscopies establishes that it is a high-spin, formally Fe(IV) complex. Its Moessbauer isomer shift is, however, significantly greater than those of other known Fe(IV) complexes, suggesting that the iron ligands in the TauD intermediate confer significant Fe(III) character to the high-valent site by strong electron donation. The properties of the complex and previous results on related αKG-dependent dioxygenases and other nonheme-Fe(II)-dependent, O2-activating enzymes suggest that the TauD intermediate is most probably either the Fe(IV)-peroxyhemiketal complex or the taurine-hydroxylating Fe(IV):O2- species. The detection of this intermediate sets the stage for a more detailed dissection of the TauD reaction mechanism than has previously been reported for any other member of this important enzyme family. - 47Rohde, J.-U.; In, J.-H.; Lim, M.

Its high-resoln. crystal structure reveals an iron-oxygen bond length of 1.646(3) angstroms, demonstrating that a terminal iron(IV)=oxo unit can exist in a nonporphyrin ligand environment and lending credence to proposed mechanisms of nonheme iron catalysis.

Understanding the mechanisms of dioxygen activation at the metal centers is important for unraveling the mechanisms of metal-contg. oxidases and oxygenases, synthesizing new selective oxidn. catalysts and new drugs analogous to bleomycin, and suppressing free radical pathways of oxidative damage in biol. systems. Dioxygen-binding and -activating biomols. with nonheme iron centers include a unique glycopeptide antibiotic bleomycin and numerous proteins, which are generally grouped into two large families: mononuclear (having only one iron at the active site) and dinuclear (having two proximate irons connected by bridging ligands at the active site). Bleomycin and nonheme iron enzymes are briefly introduced. The only nonheme iron dioxygen carrier, hemerythrin, is considered in some detail. General aspects of model chem. are introduced, followed by detailed sections on the kinetics and mechanisms of dioxygen binding and activation with mono- and dinuclear nonheme iron complexes and related reactions. The last section of this review is devoted to issues of kinetic methodol. specific for dioxygen-binding studies.(b) Abu-Omar, M. M.; Loaiza, A.; Hontzeas, N.

Definitive differences of these two CrV(O) complexes were obsd. in resonance Raman scatterings of the Cr-O bond (ν = 911 cm-1 for 1 and 951 cm-1 for 2) and the redn. potential (0.73 V vs SCE for 1 and 1.23 V for 2); this difference should be derived from that of the ligand bound at the trans position to the oxo ligand, a tertiary amino group in 1, and a pyridine nitrogen in 2. When we employed 9,10-dihydroanthracene as a substrate, the second-order rate const. (k) of 1 was 4000 times smaller than that of 2.

Characterization of 1 was achieved using ESI-MS spectrometry, ESR, UV-visible, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. The redn. potential (Ered) of 1 is 1.23 V vs. SCE in acetonitrile based on anal. of the electron-transfer (ET) equil. between 1 and a one-electron donor, [RuII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). The reorganization energy (λ) of 1 also is 1.03 eV in ET reactions from phenol derivs. to 1 on the basis of the Marcus theory of ET. The smaller λ value in comparison with that of an Fe(IV)-oxo complex (2.37 eV) is caused by the small structural change during ET due to the dπ character of the electron-accepting LUMO of 1. When benzyl alc. derivs. (R-BA) with different oxidn. potentials were employed as substrates, corresponding aldehydes were obtained as the 2e--oxidized products in moderate yields as detd. from 1H NMR and GC-MS measurements. One-step UV-visible spectral changes were obsd. in the oxidn. reactions of BA derivs. by 1 and a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) was obsd. in the oxidn. reactions for deuterated BA derivs. at the benzylic position as substrates. The rate-limiting step is a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from substrate to 1. In sharp contrast, in the oxidn. of trimethoxy-BA (Eox = 1.22 V) by 1, trimethoxy-BA radical cation was obsd. by UV-visible spectroscopy. Thus, the mechanism of the oxidn. reaction changed from one-step PCET to stepwise ET-proton transfer (ET/PT), depending on the redox potentials of R-BA.(c) Cho, J.; Woo, J.; Eun Han, J.; Kubo, M.; Ogura, T.; Nam, W.

The present results provide strong evidence that under certain circumstances, metal-superoxo species can be an alternative oxidant for high-valent metal-oxo complexes in oxygenation reactions. - 50(a) Mandimutsira, B.

Hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT), as one of the fundamental reactions in chem., is investigated with state-of-the-art gas-phase expts. in conjunction with computational studies.

(American Chemical Society)We describe herein the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT)/proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reactivity for FeIV-oxo and FeIII-oxo complexes (1-4) that activate C-H, N-H, and O-H bonds in 9,10-dihydroanthracene (S1), DMF (S2), 1,2-diphenylhydrazine (S3), p-methoxyphenol (S4), and 1,4-cyclohexadiene (S5). In 1-3, the iron is pentacoordinated by tris-[N'-tert-butylureaylato-N-ethylene]-aminato ([H3buea]3) or its derivs. These complexes are basic, in the order 3 » 1 > 2. Oxidant 4, [FeIVN4Py-(O)]2+ (N4Py: N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-bis-(2-pyridyl)-methylamine), is the least basic oxidant. The DFT results match exptl. trends and exhibit a mechanistic spectrum ranging from concerted HAT and PCET reactions to concerted-asynchronous proton transfer (PT)/electron transfer (ET) mechanisms, all the way to PT. The singly occupied orbital along the O···H···X (X = C, N, O) moiety in the TS shows clearly that in the PCET cases, the electron is transferred sep. from the proton. The Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle does not account for the obsd. reactivity pattern, as evidenced by the scatter in the plot of calcd. barrier vs reactions driving forces. However, a plot of the deformation energy in the TS vs the resp. barrier provides a clear signature of the HAT/PCET dichotomy. Thus, in all C-H bond activations, the barrier derives from the deformation energy required to create the TS, whereas in N-H/O-H bond activations, the deformation energy is much larger than the corresponding barrier, indicating the presence of a stabilizing interaction between the TS fragments. A valence bond model is used to link the obsd. results with the basicity/acidity of the reactants. - 55(a) Ohzu, S.; Ishizuka, T.; Hirai, Y.; Jiang, H.; Sakaguchi, M.; Ogura, T.; Fukuzumi, S.; Kojima, T.

Based on the diamagnetic character confirmed by the 1H NMR spectroscopy in D2O, the spin states of 5 and 6 were detd. to be S = 0 in the d4 configuration, in sharp contrast to that of 4 being in the S = 1 spin state. The aqua-complexes 1-3 catalyzed oxidn. of alcs. and olefins using (NH4)2[CeIV(NO3)6] (CAN) as an electron-transfer oxidant in acidic aq. solns. Comparison of the reactivity of electrochem. generated oxo-complexes 4-6 was made in the light of kinetic analyses for oxidn. of 1-propanol and a water-sol. ethylbenzene deriv. The oxo complexes 4-6 exhibited no significant difference in the reactivity for the oxidn. reactions, judging from the similar catalytic rates and the activation parameters. The slight difference obsd. in the reaction rates can be accounted for by the difference in the redn. potentials of the oxo-complexes, but the spin states of the oxo-complexes have hardly affected the reactivity. The activation parameters and the kinetic isotope effects (KIE) obsd. for the oxidn. reactions of methanol indicate that the oxidn. reactions of alcs. with the RuIV:O complexes proceed via a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism.(b) Kojima, T.; Hirai, Y.; Ishizuka, T.; Shiota, Y.; Yoshizawa, K.; Ikemura, K.; Ogura, T.; Fukuzumi, S.

KGaA)Based on recent X-ray structures of the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II, quantum chem. geometry optimizations of several thousand structures have been performed in order to elucidate the mechanism for dioxygen formation. Many of the results of these calcns. have been presented previously. The energetically most stable structure of the S4 state has been used in the present study to investigate essentially all the possible ways the O-O bond can be formed in this structure. A key feature, emphasized previously, of the S4 state is that an oxygen radical ligand is present rather than an MnV state. Previous studies have indicated that this oxygen radical can form an O-O bond by an attack from a water mol. in the second coordination shell. The present systematic investigation has led to a new type of mechanism that is significantly favored over the previous one. A calcd. transition-state barrier of 12.5 kcal mol-1 was found for this mechanism, whereas the best previous results gave 18-20 kcal mol-1. A requirement on the spin alignment for a low barrier is formulated.

(American Chemical Society)Oxygenase reactivity toward selective partial oxidn. of CH4 to CH3OH requires an at. oxygen-radical bound to metal (M-O•: oxyl intermediate) that is capable of abstracting an H atom from the significantly strong C-H bond in CH4. Because such a reaction is frequently obsd. in metal-doped zeolites, it has been recognized that the zeolite provides an environment that stabilizes the M-O• intermediate. However, no exptl. data of M-O• have so far been discovered in the zeolite; thus, little is known about the correlation among the state of M-O•, its reactivity for CH4, and the nature of the zeolite environment. Here, we report a combined spectroscopic and computational study of the room-temp. activation of CH4 over ZnII-O• in the MFI zeolite. One ZnII-O• species does perform H-abstraction from CH4 at room temp. The resultant CH•3 species reacts with the other ZnII-O• site to form the ZnII-OCH3 species. The H2O-assisted extn. of surface methoxide yields 29 μmol g-1 of CH3OH with a 94% selectivity. The quantum mechanics (QM)/mol. mechanics (MM) calcn. detd. the central step as the oxyl-mediated hydrogen atom transfer which requires an activation energy of only 10 kJ mol-1. On the basis of the findings in gas-phase expts. regarding the CH4 activation by the free [M-O•]+ species, the remarkable H-abstraction reactivity of the ZnII-O• species in zeolites was totally rationalized. Addnl., the exptl. validated QM/MM calcn. revealed that the zeolite lattice has potential as the ligand to enhance the polarization of the M-O• bond and thereby enables to create effectively the highly reactive M-O• bond required for low-temp. activation of CH4. The present study proposes that tuning of the polarization effect of the anchoring site over heterogeneous catalysts is the valuable way to create the oxyl-based functionality on the heterogeneous catalyst. - 59(a) Kobayashi, K.; Ohtsu, H.; Wada, T.; Kato, T.; Tanaka, K.

The resultant [RuII(trpy)(Bu2SQ)O•-] showed antiferromagnetic behavior with a RuII-semiquinone moiety and oxyl radical, the latter of which was characterized by a spin trapping technique.

(American Chemical Society)Tanaka and co-workers reported a novel dinuclear Ru complex, [Ru2(OH)2(3,6-Bu2Q)2(btpyan)](SbF6)2 (3,6-Bu2Q = 3,6-ditert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone, btpyan = 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene), that contains redox active quinone ligands and has an excellent electrocatalytic activity for H2O oxidn. when immobilized on an In-Sn-oxide electrode (Inorg. Chem., 2001, 40, 329-337). The novel features of the dinuclear and related mononuclear Ru species with quinone ligands, and comparison of their properties to those of the Ru analogs with the bpy ligand (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) replacing quinone, are summarized here together with new theor. and exptl. results that show striking features for both the dinuclear and mononuclear species. The identity and oxidn. state of key mononuclear species, including the previously reported oxyl radical, were reassigned. The gas-phase theor. calcns. indicate that the Tanaka Ru-dinuclear catalyst seems to maintain predominantly Ru(II) centers while the quinone ligands and H2O moiety are involved in redox reactions throughout the entire catalytic cycle for H2O oxidn. The theor. study identifies [Ru2(O2-)(Q-1.5)2(btpyan)] as a key intermediate and the most reduced catalyst species that is formed by removal of all 4 protons before 4-electron oxidn. takes place. While the study toward understanding the complicated electronic and geometric structures of possible intermediates in the catalytic cycle is still in progress, the current status and new directions for kinetic and mechanistic studies, and key issues and challenges in H2O oxidn. with the Tanaka catalyst (and its analogs with Cl- or NO2-substituted quinones and a species with a xanthene bridge instead an anthracene) are discussed.(d) Wada, T.; Muckerman, J.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The bridging ligand, 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene (btpyan) was synthesized by the Miyaura-Suzuki cross coupling reaction of anthracenyl-1,8-diboronic acid and 4'-triflyl-2,2':6'-2''-terpyridine in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 (5 mol%) with 68% in yield. Three ruthenium-dioxolene dimers, [Ru2(OH)2(dioxolene)2(btpyan)]0 (dioxolene = 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([1]0), 3,5-dichloro-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([2]0) and 4-nitro-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([3]0)) were prepd. by the reaction of [Ru2Cl6(btpyan)]0 with the corresponding catechol. The electronic structure of [1]0 is approximated by [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 (sq = semiquinonato). On the other hand, the electronic states of [2]0 and [3]0 are close to [RuIII2(OH)2 (cat)2(btpyan)]0 (cat = catecholato), indicating that a dioxolene having electron-withdrawing groups stabilizes [RuIII2(OH)2(cat)2(btpyan)]0 rather than [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 as resonance isomers. No sign was found of deprotonation of the hydroxo groups of [1]0, whereas [2]0 and [3]0 showed an acid-base equil. in treatments with t-BuOLi followed by HClO4. Furthermore, controlled potential electrolysis of [1]0 deposited on an ITO (indium-tin oxide) electrode catalyzed the four-electron oxidn. of H2O to evolve O2 at potentials more pos. than +1.6 V (vs. SCE) at pH 4.0. On the other hand, the electrolysis of [2]0 and [3]0 deposited on ITO electrodes did not show catalytic activity for water oxidn. under similar conditions. Such a difference in the reactivity among [1]0, [2]0 and [3]0 is ascribed to the shift of the resonance equil. between [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 and [RuIII2(OH)2(cat)2(btpyan)]0.(e) Tanaka, K.; Isobe, H.; Yamanaka, S.; Yamaguchi, K.

BS DFT computations for the Ru complexes have elucidated that the closed-shell structure (2b) Ru(II)-Q complex is less stable than the open-shell structure (2bb) consisting of Ru(III) and semiquinone (SQ) radical fragments. These computations have also elucidated eight different electronic and spin structures of tetraradical intermediates that may be generated in the course of water splitting reaction. The Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian model for these species has been derived to elucidate six different effective exchange interactions (J) for four spin systems. Six J values have been detd. using total energies of the eight (or seven) BS solns. for different spin configurations. The natural orbital analyses of these BS DFT solns. have also been performed in order to obtain natural orbitals and their occupation nos., which are useful for the lucid understanding of the nature of chem. bonds of the Ru complexes.

Water oxidn., in which two water mols. undergo the coupled loss of four electrons and four protons to form an O-O bond, is one of the most appealing target reactions for mol. catalysts in view of hydrogen prodn. by electrolytic or photolytic water splitting to cope with urgent energy and environmental problems. Inspired by a natural oxygen-evolving multinuclear manganese cluster, a no. of water oxidn. catalysts based on multinuclear transition-metal complexes have been developed over the last three decades. In recent years, in parallel with the discovery of mononuclear oxygen-evolving complexes, both exptl. and theor. studies have yielded important insight into O-O bond-formation pathways in these water-oxidizing complexes. In this microreview, we will present an updated view of selected current literature focusing on the working mechanism of ruthenium-based water oxidn. catalysts and on the development of rationally designed ruthenium complexes that activate water at mild potentials. - 61Wada, T.; Tsuge, K.; Tanaka, K.

(American Chemical Society)The initial step of photocatalytic water oxidn. reaction at the metal oxide/aq. interface involves intermediates formed by trapping photogenerated, valence band holes on different reactive sites of the oxide surface. In SrTiO3, these one-electron intermediates are radicals located in Ti-O• (oxyl) and Ti-O•-Ti (bridge) groups arranged perpendicular and parallel to the surface resp., and form electronic states in the band gap of SrTiO3. Using an ultrafast sub band gap probe of 400 nm and white light, we excited transitions between these radical states and the conduction band. By measuring the time evolution of surface reflectivity following the pump pulse of 266 nm light, we detd. an initial radical formation time of 1.3 ± 0.2 ps, which is identical to the time to populate the surface with titanium oxyl (Ti-O•) radicals. The oxyl was sep. obsd. by a subsurface vibration near 800 cm-1 from Ti-O located in the plane right below Ti-O•. Second, a polarized transition optical dipole allows us to assign the 1.3 ps time const. to the prodn. of both O-site radicals. After a 4.5 ps delay, another distinct surface species forms with a time const. of 36 ± 10 ps with a yet undetd. structure. As would be expected, the radicals' decay, specifically probed by the oxyl's subsurface vibration, parallels that of the photocurrent. These results led us to propose a nonadiabatic kinetic mechanism for generating radicals of the type Ti-O• and Ti-O•-Ti from valence band holes based on their solvation at aq. interfaces.(b) Herlihy, D.

(Nature Publishing Group)A subsurface vibration of the oxygen directly below, and uniquely generated by, the oxyl radical (Ti-O•), has been detected using theor. calcns. and ultrafast in situ IR spectra of photocatalysis at an n-SrTiO3/aq. interface. This interfacial Ti-O stretch vibration, once decoupled from the lattice, couples to reactant dynamics (water librations). These expts. demonstrate subsurface vibrations and their coupling to solvent and electron dynamics to detect nascent catalytic intermediates at the solid-liq. interface at the mol. level. One can envision using the subsurface vibrations and their coupling across the interface to track and control catalysis dynamically. - 69Corona, T.; Pfaff, F.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Herein, we report the formation of a highly reactive nickel-oxygen species that has been trapped following reaction of a NiII precursor bearing a macrocyclic bis(amidate) ligand with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (HmCPBA). This compd. is only detectable at temps. below 250 K and is much more reactive toward org. substrates (i.e., C-H bonds, C-C bonds, and sulfides) than previously reported well-defined nickel-oxygen species. Remarkably, this species is formed by heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of a Ni-HmCPBA precursor, which is concluded from exptl. and computational data. On the basis of spectroscopy and DFT calcns., this reactive species is proposed to be a NiIII-oxyl compd.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The CuO+ core is a central motif of reactive intermediates in copper-catalyzed oxidns. occurring in nature. The high reactivity of CuO+ stems from a weak bonding between the atoms, which cannot be described by a simple classical model. To obtain the correct picture, we have investigated the acetonitrile-ligated CuO+ ion using neon-tagging photodissocn. spectroscopy at 5 K. The spectra feature complex vibronic absorption progressions in NIR and visible regions. Employing Franck-Condon analyses, we derived low-lying triplet potential energy surfaces that were further correlated with multireference calcns. This provided insight into the ground and low-lying excited electronic states of the CuO+ unit and elucidated how these states are perturbed by the change in ligation. Thus, we show that the bare CuO+ ion has prevailingly a copper(I)-biradical oxygen character. Increasing the no. of ligands coordinated to copper changes the CuO+ character towards the copper(II)-oxyl radical structure.

The geometry of a RuIII complex having a nonthree-fold-sym. TPA ligand bearing one dimethylnicotinamide moiety was detd. to show that the nicotine moiety resides trans to a pyridine group, but not to the chloride ligand. The substituents of the TPA ligands regulate the redox potential of the Ru center, as indicated by a linear Hammett plot in the range of 200 mV for RuIII/RuIV couples with a relatively large ρ value (+0.150). These complexes act as effective catalysts for alkane functionalization in MeCN with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) as terminal oxidant at room temp. They exhibited fairly good reactivity for oxidn. of cyclohexane (C-H bond energy 94 kcal mol-1), and the reactivity can be altered significantly by the electronic effects of substituents on TPA ligands in terms of initial rates and turnover nos. Catalytic oxygenation of cyclohexane by a RuIII complex with 16O-mCPBA in the presence of H218O gave 18O-labeled cyclohexanol with 100% inclusion of the 18O atom from the H2O mol. Resonance Raman spectra under catalytic conditions without the substrate indicate formation of a RuIV = O intermediate with lower bonding energy. Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in the oxidn. of cyclohexane suggest that H abstraction is the rate-detg. step and the KIE values depend on the substituents of the TPA ligands. Thus, the reaction mechanism of catalytic cyclohexane oxygenation depends on the electronic effects of the ligands.

(National Academy of Sciences)Water oxidn. is the key half reaction in artificial photosynthesis. An absence of detailed mechanistic insight impedes design of new catalysts that are more reactive and more robust. A proposed paradigm leading to enhanced reactivity is the existence of oxyl radical intermediates capable of rapid water activation, but there is a dearth of exptl. validation. Here, we show the radicaloid nature of an intermediate reactive toward formation of the O-O bond by assessing the spin d. on the oxyl group by ESR. In the study, an 17O-labeled form of a highly oxidized, short-lived intermediate in the catalytic cycle of the water oxidn. catalyst cis,cis-[(2,2-bipyridine)2(H2O)RuIIIORuIII(OH2)(bpy)2]4+ was investigated. It contains Ru centers in oxidn. states [4,5], has at least one RuV = O unit, and shows |Axx| = 60G 17O hyperfine splittings (hfs) consistent with the high spin d. of a radicaloid. Destabilization of pi-bonding in the d3 RuV = O fragment is responsible for the high spin d. on the oxygen and its high reactivity.

First of all, our previous broken-symmetry (BS) MOs (MO) calcns. are reviewed to elucidate the instability of the dπ-pπ bond in high-valent (HV) Mn(X)=O systems and the dπ-pπ-dπ bond in HV Mn=O=Mn systems. The triplet instability of these bonds entails strong or intermediate diradical characters: ·Mn(IV)=O·and ·n-O-Mn· the BS MO resulted from strong electron correlation, leading to the concept of electron localizations and local spins. The BS computations have furthermore revealed guiding principles for derivation of selection rules for radical reactions of local spins. As a continuation of these theor. results, the BS MO interaction diagrams for oxygen-radical coupling reactions in the oxygen evolution complex (OEC) in the PSII have been depicted to reveal scope and applicability of local singlet diradical (LSD) and local triplet diradical (LTD) mechanisms that have been successfully utilized for theor. understanding of oxygenation reactions mechanisms by P 450 and methane monooxygenase (MMO). The manganese-oxide cluster models examd. are London, Berlin, and Berkeley models of CaMn4O4 and related clusters Mn4O4 and Mn3Ca. The BS MO interaction diagrams have revealed the LSD and/or LTD mechanisms for generation of mol. oxygen in the total low-, intermediate and high-spin states of these clusters. The spin alignments are found directly corresponding to the spin-coupling mechanisms of oxygen-radical sites in these clusters. The BS UB3LYP calcns. of the clusters have been performed to confirm the comprehensive guiding principles for oxygen evolution; charge and spin densities by BS UB3LYP are utilized for elucidation and confirmation of the LSD and LTD mechanisms. Applicability of the proposed selection rules are examd. in comparison with a lot of accumulated exptl. and theor. results for oxygen evolution reactions in native and artificial PSII systems.

M.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (2015), 17 (18), 12168-12174CODEN: PPCPFQ; ISSN:1463-9076. (Royal Society of Chemistry)In a previous detailed study of all the steps of water oxidn. in photosystem II, it was surprisingly found that O2 release is as crit. for the rate as O-O bond formation. A new mechanism for O2 release has now been found, which can be described as an opening followed by a closing of the interior of the oxygen evolving complex. A transition state for peroxide rotation forming a superoxide radical, missed in the previous study, and a structural change around the outside manganese are two key steps in the new mechanism. However, O2 release may still remain rate-limiting. Addnl., for the step forming the O-O bond, an alternative, exptl. suggested, mechanism was investigated. The new model calcns. can rule out the precise use of that mechanism. However, a variant with a rotation of the ligands around the outer manganese by about 30° will give a low barrier, competitive with the old DFT mechanism. Both these mechanisms use an oxyl-oxo mechanism for O-O bond formation involving the same two manganese atoms and the central oxo group (O5).(b) Siegbahn, P. E. M.

(National Academy of Sciences)Two different types of mechanisms are at present suggested for the O-O bond-formation step in photosystem II. The first one is a coupling between an oxyl radical and a bridging oxo. The second one is a nucleophilic water attack on a terminal oxo (or oxyl) group. In the present short paper, the six most reasonable versions of the latter mechanism have been studied and compared with the oxo-oxyl mechanism. The barriers are found to be much too high for the water attack, and that mechanism can therefore safely be ruled out. The reason is that the protonated peroxide product is always very high in energy.

(American Chemical Society)This paper investigates the mechanism of water splitting in photosystem II (PSII) as described by chem. sensible models of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in the S0-S4 states. The reaction is the paradigm for engineering direct solar fuel prodn. systems since it is driven by solar light and the catalyst involves inexpensive and abundant metals (calcium and manganese). Mol. models of the OEC Mn3CaO4Mn catalytic cluster are constructed by explicitly considering the perturbational influence of the surrounding protein environment according to state-of-the-art quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid methods, in conjunction with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) structure of PSII from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus. The resulting models are validated through direct comparisons with high-resoln. extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopic data. Structures of the S3, S4, and S0 states include an addnl. μ-oxo bridge between Mn(3) and Mn(4), not present in XRD structures, found to be essential for the deprotonation of substrate water mols. The structures of reaction intermediates suggest a detailed mechanism of dioxygen evolution based on changes in oxidization and protonation states and structural rearrangements of the oxomanganese cluster and surrounding water mols. The catalytic reaction is consistent with substrate water mols. coordinated as terminal ligands to Mn(4) and calcium and requires the formation of an oxyl radical by deprotonation of the substrate water mol. ligated to Mn(4) and the accumulation of four oxidizing equiv. The oxyl radical is susceptible to nucleophilic attack by a substrate water mol. initially coordinated to calcium and activated by two basic species, including CP43-R357 and the μ-oxo bridge between Mn(3) and Mn(4). The reaction is concerted with water ligand exchange, swapping the activated water by a water mol. in the second coordination shell of calcium. - 79Crandell, D. W.; Xu, S.; Smith, J. M.; Baik, M.-H.

(American Chemical Society)The mechanism of water oxidn. performed by a recently discovered manganese pyridinophane catalyst [Mn(Py2NtBu2)(H2O)2]2+ is studied using d. functional theory methods. A complete catalytic cycle is constructed and the catalytically active species is identified to consist of a MnV-bis(oxo) moiety that is generated from the resting state by a series of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. Whereas the electronic ground state of this key intermediate is found to be a triplet, the most favorable pathway for O-O bond formation is found on the quintet potential energy surface and involves an intramol. coupling of two oxyl radicals with opposite spins bound to the Mn-center that adopts an electronic structure most consistent formally with a high-spin MnIII ion. Therefore, the thermally accessible high-spin quintet state that constitutes a typical and innate property of a first-row transition metal center plays a crit. role for catalysis. It enables facile electron transfer between the oxo moieties and the Mn-center and promotes O-O bond formation via a radical coupling reaction with a calcd. reaction barrier of only 14.7 kcal mol-1. This mechanism of O-O coupling is unprecedented and provides a novel possible pathway to coupling two oxygen atoms bound to a single metal site. - 80Ashley, D. C.; Baik, M.-H.

(American Chemical Society)MnV=O functionalities are important in synthetic and bioinorg. chem., being relevant to both C-H activation and the O-O bond formation steps in enzymic water oxidn., for example. The triplet and quintet spin states are believed to be active in these reactions, but they have only been sparingly characterized exptl. D. functional theory (DFT) gives varying results, depending on the exchange-correlation functional employed, leading to ambiguity about whether the triplet MnV=O is better represented as MnIV-O•. While recent CASPT2 studies confirmed that the MnIV-O• character is exaggerated by hybrid functionals, questions still remain about the nature of this bonding. Using high-level wave function methods, the authors studied the fundamental relation between the spin polarization, diradical character, and the phys. oxidn. state assignments. In terms of formal oxidn. assignment, these species are best described as being between the MnV=O and MnIV-O• extremes. While the extent of the oxyl radical character is exaggerated in B3LYP, it is significantly underestimated by local functionals. The authors also exploited the DFT-functional dependence of the oxyl radical character to examine its effect on O-O bond formation barrier heights and concluded that, although, for radical combination reactions, the oxyl character is a significant effect, for nucleophilic water attack reactions, the effect is much smaller and is likely not a requisite feature. - 81Leto, D.

(American Chemical Society)The mononuclear Mn(IV)-oxo complex [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+, where N4py is the pentadentate ligand N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-bis(2-pyridyl)methylamine, was proposed to attack C-H bonds by an excited-state reactivity pattern. In this model, a 4E excited state is used to provide a lower-energy barrier for hydrogen-atom transfer. This proposal is intriguing, as it offers both a rationale for the relatively high hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity of [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+ and a guideline for creating more reactive complexes through ligand modification.

C-term MCD signals, the authors unambiguously assign a low-energy MCD feature of [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+ as the 4E excited state predicted to be involved in hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity. The CASSCF calcns. predict enhanced MnIII-oxyl character on the excited-state 4E surface, consistent with previous DFT calcns. Potential-energy surfaces, developed using the CASSCF methods, are used to det. how the energies and wave functions of the ground and excited states evolved as a function of Mn=O distance. The unique insights into ground- and excited-state electronic structure offered by these spectroscopic and computational studies are harmonized with a thermodn. model of hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity, which predicts a correlation between transition-state barriers and driving force. - 82(a) Cook, S.

S.Accounts of Chemical Research (2015), 48 (8), 2407-2414CODEN: ACHRE4; ISSN:0001-4842. (American Chemical Society)A review. The functions of metal complexes are directly linked to the local environment in which they are housed; modifications to the local environment (or secondary coordination sphere) are known to produce changes in key properties of the metal centers that can affect reactivity. Noncovalent interactions are the most common and influential forces that regulate the properties of secondary coordination spheres, which leads to complexities in structure that are often difficult to achieve in synthetic systems. Using key architectural features from the active sites of metalloproteins as inspiration, the authors have developed mol. systems that enforce intramol. H bonds (H-bonds) around a metal center via incorporation of H-bond donors and acceptors into rigid ligand scaffolds. The authors used these mol. species to probe mechanistic aspects of biol. dioxygen activation and H2O oxidn. This Account describes the stabilization and characterization of unusual M-oxo and heterobimetallic complexes. These types of species were implicated in a range of oxidative processes in biol. but are often difficult to study because of their inherent reactivity. The authors' H-bonding ligand systems allowed the authors to prep. an FeIII-oxo species directly from the activation of O2 that was subsequently oxidized to form a monomeric FeIV-oxo species with an S = 2 spin state, similar to those species proposed as key intermediates in nonheme monooxygenases. Also a single MnIII-oxo center that was prepd. from H2O could be converted to a high-spin MnV-oxo species via stepwise oxidn., a process that mimics the oxidative charging of the O-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II. Current mechanisms for photosynthetic O-O bond formation invoke a MnIV-oxyl species rather than the isoelectronic MnV-oxo system as the key oxidant based on computational studies. However, there is no exptl. information to support the existence of a Mn-oxyl radical. The authors therefore probed the amt. of spin d. on the oxido ligand of the authors' complexes using EPR spectroscopy in conjunction with O-17 labeling. The authors' findings showed that there is a significant amt. of spin on the oxido ligand, yet the M-oxo bonds are best described as highly covalent and there is no indication that an oxyl radical is formed. These results offer the intriguing possibility that high-spin M-oxo complexes are involved in O-O bond formation in biol. Ligand redesign to incorporate H-bond accepting units (sulfonamido groups) simultaneously provided a metal ion binding pocket, adjacent H-bond acceptors, and an auxiliary binding site for a 2nd metal ion. These properties allowed the authors to isolate heterobimetallic complexes of FeIII and MnIII in which a Group II metal ion were coordinated within the secondary coordination sphere. Examn. of the influence of the 2nd metal ion on the electron transfer properties of the primary metal center revealed unexpected similarities between CaII and SrII ions, a result with relevance to the OEC. The presence of a 2nd metal ion was found to prevent intramol. oxidn. of the ligand with an O atom transfer reagent.(b) Gupta, R.; Taguchi, T.; Lassalle-Kaiser, B.; Bominaar, E.

(National Academy of Sciences)The structural and electronic properties of a series of manganese complexes with terminal oxido ligands are described. The complexes span three different oxidn. states at the manganese center (III-V), have similar mol. structures, and contain intramol. hydrogen-bonding networks surrounding the Mn-oxo unit. Structural studies using X-ray absorption methods indicated that each complex is mononuclear and that oxidn. occurs at the manganese centers, which is also supported by ESR (EPR) studies. This gives a high-spin MnV-oxo complex and not a MnIV-oxy radical as the most oxidized species. In addn., the EPR findings demonstrated that the Fermi contact term could exptl. substantiate the oxidn. states at the manganese centers and the covalency in the metal-ligand bonding. Oxygen-17-labeled samples were used to det. spin d. within the Mn-oxo unit, with the greatest delocalization occurring within the MnV-oxo species (0.45 spins on the oxido ligand). The exptl. results coupled with d. functional theory studies show a large amt. of covalency within the Mn-oxo bonds. Finally, these results are examd. within the context of possible mechanisms assocd. with photosynthetic water oxidn.; specifically, the possible identity of the proposed high valent Mn-oxo species that is postulated to form during turnover is discussed. - 83Srnec, M.; Wong, S.

These studies elucidate key frontier MOs (FMOs) and their contribution to H atom abstraction reactivity. The VT MCD spectra of the enzymic S = 2 FeIV=O intermediate with Br- ligation contain information-rich features that largely parallel the corresponding spectra of the S = 2 model complex (TMG3tren)FeIV=O. However, quant. differences are obsd. that correlate with π-anisotropy and oxo donor strength that perturb FMOs and affect reactivity. Due to π-anisotropy, the FeIV=O active site exhibits enhanced reactivity in the direction of the substrate cavity that proceeds through a π-channel that is controlled by perpendicular orientation of the substrate C-H bond relative to the halide-FeIV=O plane. Also, the increased intrinsic reactivity of the SyrB2 intermediate relative to the ferryl model complex is correlated to a higher oxyl character of the FeIV=O at the transition states resulting from the weaker ligand field of the halogenase. - 84Bollinger, J.

(National Academy of Sciences)Oxo-iron(IV) species are implicated as key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of heme and nonheme oxygen activating iron enzymes that selectively functionalize aliph. C-H bonds. Ferryl complexes can exist in either quintet or triplet ground states. D. functional theory calcns. predict that the quintet oxo-iron(IV) species is more reactive toward C-H bond activation than its corresponding triplet partner, however; the available exptl. data on model complexes suggests that both spin multiplicities display comparable reactivities. To clarify this ambiguity, a detailed electronic structure anal. of alkane hydroxylation by an oxo-iron(IV) species on different spin-state potential energy surfaces is performed. According to our results, the lengthening of the Fe-oxo bond in ferryl reactants, which is the part of the reaction coordinate for H-atom abstraction, leads to the formation of oxyl-iron(III) species that then perform actual C-H bond activation. The differential reactivity stems from the fact that the two spin states have different requirements for the optimal angle at which the substrate should approach the (FeO)2+ core because distinct electron acceptor orbitals are employed on the two surfaces. The H-atom abstraction on the quintet surface favors the "σ-pathway" that requires an essentially linear attack; by contrast a "π-channel" is operative on the triplet surface that leads to an ideal attack angle near 90°. However, the latter is not possible due to steric crowding; thus, the attenuated orbital interaction and the unavoidably increased Pauli repulsion result in the lower reactivity of the triplet oxo-iron(IV) complexes.

(American Chemical Society)Metal-mediated C-O bond formation is a key step in hydrocarbon oxygenation catalytic cycles; however, few examples of this reaction have been reported for low-oxidn.-state complexes. Oxygen insertion into a metal-carbon bond of Cp*M(CO)(OPy)R (Cp* = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; R = Me, Ph; OPy = pyridine-N-oxide; M = Fe, Ru, Os) was analyzed via d. functional theory calcns. Oxygen-atom insertions through a concerted single-step organometallic Baeyer-Villiger pathway and a two-step pathway via a metal-oxo intermediate were studied; calcns. predict that the former pathway was lower in energy. The results indicated that functionalization of M-R to M-OR (R = Me, Ph) is plausible using iron(II) complexes. Starting from Cp*Fe(CO)(OPy)Ph, the intermediate Fe-oxo showed oxyl character and, thus, is best considered an FeIIIO•- complex. Oxidn. of the π-acid ancillary ligand CO was facile. Substitutions of CO with dimethylamide and NH3 were calcd. to lower the activation barrier by ∼1-2 kcal/mol for formation of the FeIIIO•- intermediate, whereas a chloride ligand raised the activation barrier to 26 kcal/mol from 22.9 kcal/mol. - 87Gupta, R.; Lacy, D.

The properties of these oxidants are not as well understood as the corresponding intermediate-spin oxidants of heme complexes. The present work gives a detailed characterization of the structurally similar complexes [FeIVH3buea(O)]-, [FeIIIH3buea(O)]2-, and [FeIIIH3buea(OH)]- (H3buea = tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethylene]aminato) using Mossbauer and dual-frequency/dual-mode EPR spectroscopies. The [FeIVH3buea(O)]- complex has a high-spin (S = 2) configuration imposed by the C3-sym. ligand. The EPR spectra of the [FeIVH3buea(O)]- complex presented here represent the 1st documented examples of an EPR signal from an FeIV-oxo complex, demonstrating the ability to detect and quantify FeIV species with EPR spectroscopy. Quant. simulations allowed the detn. of the zero-field parameter, D = +4.7 cm-1, and the species concn. D. functional theory (DFT) calcns. of the zero-field parameter are in agreement with the exptl. value and indicated that the major contribution to the D value is from spin-orbit coupling of the ground state with an excited S = 1 electronic configuration at 1.2 eV 17O isotope enrichment expts. allowed the detn. of the hyperfine consts. 17OAz = 10 MHz for [FeIVH3buea(O)]- and 17OAy = 8 MHz, 17OAz = 12 MHz for [FeIIIH3buea(OH)]-. The isotropic hyperfine const.

This is the 1st exptl. detn. for nonheme complexes and indicates significant covalency in the Fe-oxo bond.

We found that it follows a hybrid pathway that mixes features of the classical σ- and π-pathways in quintet surfaces. These calcns. show that the Fe-O-H arrangement in this hybrid pathway is bent in sharp contrast to the collinear character as obsd. for the classical quintet σ-pathways before. The calcns. have also shown that it is the equatorial ligands that play key roles in tuning the reactivity of FeIVO complexes. The strong π-donating equatorial ligands employed in the current study cause a weak π(FeO) bond and thereby shift the electronic accepting orbitals (EAO) from the vertically oriented O pz orbital to the horizontally oriented O px. In addn., all the equatorial ligands are small in size and would therefore be expected have small steric effects upon substrate horizontal approaching. Therefore, for the small and strong π-donating equatorial ligands, the collinear Fe-O-H arrangement is not the best choice for the quintet reactivity.

The two isomeric Co(III)-peroxo complexes were synthesized and selectively isolated by recrystn. under different conditions. Although cyclic voltammograms of the two isomers in aq. solns. showed one reversible wave at 1.1 V vs. normal H electrode at pH 2.0, two oxidn. waves were obsd. at 1.0 and 1.4 V at pH 7.0 in the aq. solns., the latter of which is responsible for the O2-releasing process. At pH 7, one diastereomer showed higher reactivity than the other in O2 evolution, indicating the importance of structures of the μ-peroxo complexes in the reaction. To clarify the O2-evolving mechanism, the authors performed EPR and resonance Raman (RR) measurements for characterizing 1-electron oxidized species: The obsd. EPR and RR signals supported the formation of μ-superoxo-μ-hydroxo dinuclear Co(III) complexes; however, no characteristic difference was obsd. between two isomers in the EPR parameters including g values and superhyperfine coupling consts. ET-oxidn. rate consts. of the isomers are much faster than the O2-evolving rate consts., indicating that the O2-releasing step is the rate-detg. step in the O2 evolution through the stoichiometric ET oxidn. of the dinuclear Co(III)-μ-peroxo complexes. Therefore, the difference of reactivity in the O2 evolution for the two isomers should be derived from the thermodn. stability of two-electron oxidized species of the dinuclear Co(III)-μ-peroxo complexes, μ-dioxygen-μ-hydroxo dinuclear Co(III) intermediates. - 91Surendranath, Y.; Kanan, M.

Co4O4 cubane complex Co4O4(OAc)4(py)4 (1), which catalyzes efficient water oxidizing activity when powered by a std. photochem. oxidn. source or electrochem. oxidn. The pH dependence of catalysis, the turnover frequency, and in situ monitoring of catalytic species have revealed the intrinsic capabilities of this core type. The catalytic activity of complex 1 and analogous Mn4O4 cubane complexes is attributed to the cubical core topol., which is analogous to that of nature's water oxidn. catalyst, a cubical CaMn4O5 cluster. - 93Egan, J.

(American Chemical Society)In reactions of significance to alternative energy schemes, metal catalysts are needed to overcome kinetically and thermodynamically difficult processes. Often, high-oxidn.-state, high-energy metal oxo intermediates are proposed as mediators in elementary steps involving O-O bond cleavage and formation, but the mechanisms of these steps are difficult to study because of the fleeting nature of these species. Here we utilized a novel dianionic pentadentate ligand system that enabled a detailed mechanistic investigation of the protonation of a cobalt(III)-cobalt(III) peroxo dimer, a known intermediate in oxygen redn. catalysis to hydrogen peroxide. It was shown that double protonation occurs rapidly and leads to a low-energy O-O bond cleavage step that generates a Co(III) aquo complex and a highly reactive Co(IV) oxyl cation. The latter was probed computationally and exptl. implicated through chem. interception and isotope labeling expts. In the absence of competing chem. reagents, it dimerizes and eliminates dioxygen in a step highly relevant to O-O bond formation in the oxygen evolution step in water oxidn. Thus, the study demonstrates both facile O-O bond cleavage and formation in the stoichiometric redn. of O2 to H2O with 2 equiv of Co(II) and suggests a new pathway for selective redn. of O2 to water via Co(III)-O-O-Co(III) peroxo intermediates. - 96Matsunaga, P.

(American Chemical Society)Transition-metal-mediated oxy insertion into metal-C bonds is useful for the development of catalytic cycles for selective hydrocarbon oxidn. However, there are few bona fide examples of net oxy insertion with transition-metal complexes. An extremely rare example of a 3d metal mediating oxy insertion into metal-C bonds is NiII alkyl complexes reacting with nitrous oxide (N2O) reported by Hillhouse and coworkers; however, the mechanism was never fully elucidated. A computational study was performed on bipyridyl Ni metallacycles that form Ni alkoxides upon reaction with N2O to attain insight into future catalyst design for O atom transfer reactions. Two possible mechanisms are explored. Of the two pathways, the computations suggest that the preferred mechanism proceeds through a Ni-oxyl intermediate followed by alkyl migration of the Ni-C bond to form an alkoxide. Oxyl formation is the rate-detg. step, with a free energy barrier of 29.4 kcal/mol for bpyNiII(cyclo-(CH2)4). Complexes that contain sp2-hybridized mols. at the β-C site within the metallacycle ring do not undergo oxy insertion due to elevated barriers. While exploring insertion with another oxidant, pyridine N-oxide, the authors found that N2O is crit. for net oxy insertion with this complex due to the substantial thermodn. advantage of N2 expulsion. Reaction with pyridine N-oxide necessitated expulsion of a worse leaving group, resulting in much higher barriers (ΔG⧧ = 49.7 kcal/mol) for the oxyl formation step. - 98Elwell, C. E.; Gagnon, N.

(American Chemical Society)The activation of dioxygen (O2) by Cu(I) complexes is an important process in biol. systems and industrial applications. In tyrosinase, a binuclear copper enzyme, a μ-η2:η2-peroxodicopper(II) species is accepted generally to be the active oxidant. Reported here is the characterization and reactivity of a μ-η2:η2-peroxodicopper(II) complex synthesized by reacting the Cu(I) complex of the secondary diamine ligand N,N'-di-tert-butyl-ethylenediamine (DBED), [(DBED)Cu(MeCN)](X) (1·X, X = CF3SO3-, CH3SO3-, SbF6-, BF4-), with O2 at 193 K to give [{Cu(DBED)}2(O2)](X)2 (2·X2). The UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic features of 2 vary with the counteranion employed yet are invariant with change of solvent. These results implicate an intimate interaction of the counteranions with the Cu2O2 core. Such interactions are supported further by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses of solns. that reveal weak copper-counteranion interactions. The accessibility of the Cu2O2 core to exogenous ligands such as these counteranions is manifest further in the reactivity of 2 with externally added substrates. Most notable is the hydroxylation reactivity with phenolates to give catechol and quinone products. Thus the strategy of using simple bidentate ligands at low temps. provides not only spectroscopic models of tyrosinase but also functional models. - 101Kamachi, T.; Lee, Y.-M.; Nishimi, T.; Cho, J.; Yoshizawa, K.; Nam, W.

(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)A review. Dopamine β-monooxygenase (I)and peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (II) belong to a small class of Cu-proteins found exclusively in higher eukaryotes. These physiol. important enzymes resp. catalyze the transformation of dopamine to norepinephrine and C-terminal glycine-extended peptides to α-hydroxylated products. Although their substrate specificities are markedly different, these 2 enzymes greatly resemble each other in many other respects. Both enzymes are localized in subcellular compartments: I in chromaffin vesicles of the adrenal gland or synaptic vesicles of the sympathetic nervous system and II in secretory vesicles of the pituitary gland. Although I and II exist in sol. and membrane-bound forms within the vesicular compartments, the majority of studies have been conducted with the more tractable sol. enzymes. The physiol. role played by the sol. and membrane-bound forms may be different, but the chem. mechanisms are almost certain to be the same. Comparison of the primary sequence of the II catalytic core with the larger I indicates a central core of ∼300 amino acids from I that is 27% identical and 40% homologous to II. In addn., I contains ∼200 amino acids toward its N-terminus and ∼100 amino acids toward the C-terminus that bear no relation to II. Of particular note is the conservation of the ligands to the 2 Cu atoms per enzyme subunit, designated CuH and CuM. Although I and II belong to a multi-Cu family of proteins, the Cu atoms appear to perform different functions, that of substrate hydroxylation (CuH) and electron storage/transfer (CuM). Perhaps the most startling feature to emerge from x-ray crystallog. studies is the fully solvent-exposed nature of the Cu sites, raising the questions of (1) how I and II carry out regio- and stereospecific hydroxylations, and (2) how they carry out controlled electron transfer from CuH to CuM through bulk solvent. The formation of a Cu-superoxo intermediate appears to provide a working mechanism that is capable of rationalizing the voluminous data available for I and II. Many exptl. challenges remain, which include the precise tuning of the active site for H-transfer and the possible participation of regions distal from the active site in this process. The vexing question of the exact mechanism of long-range electron transfer between the CuH and CuM sites also awaits elaboration.

MarioJournal of the American Chemical Society (2010), 132 (44), 15565-15572CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)Peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) catalyzes the stereospecific hydroxylation of the Cα of C-terminal glycine-extended peptides and proteins, the first step in the activation of many peptide hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters. The crystal structure of the enzyme revealed two nonequivalent Cu sites (CuM and CuH) sepd. by ∼11 Å. In the resting state of the enzyme, CuM is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by one methionine, two histidines, and a water mol. The coordination site of the water mol. is the position where external ligands bind. The CuH has a planar T-shaped geometry with three histidines residues and a vacant position that could potentially be occupied by a fourth ligand. Although the catalytic mechanism of PHM and the role of the metals are still being debated, CuM is identified as the metal involved in catalysis, while CuH is assocd. with electron transfer. To further probe the role of the metals, we studied how small mols. such as nitrite (NO2-), azide (N3-), and carbon monoxide (CO) interact with the PHM copper ions. The crystal structure of an oxidized nitrite-soaked PHMcc, obtained by soaking for 20 h in mother liquor supplemented with 300 mM NaNO2, shows that nitrite anion coordinates CuM in an asym. bidentate fashion. Surprisingly, nitrite does not bind CuH, despite the high concn. used in the expts. (nitrite/protein > 1000). Similarly, azide and carbon monoxide coordinate CuM but not CuH in the PHMcc crystal structures obtained by cocrystn. with 40 mM NaN3 and by soaking CO under 3 atm of pressure for 30 min. This lack of reactivity at the CuH is also obsd. in the reduced form of the enzyme: CO binds CuM but not CuH in the structure of PHMcc obtained by exposure of a crystal to 3 atm CO for 15 min in the presence of 5 mM ascorbic acid (reductant). The necessity of CuH to maintain its redox potential in a narrow range compatible with its role as an electron-transfer site seems to explain the lack of coordination of small mols. to CuH; coordination of any external ligand will certainly modify its redox potential. - 105Kim, S.; Ståhlberg, J.; Sandgren, M.; Paton, R.

(National Academy of Sciences)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) exhibit a mononuclear Cu-contg. active site and use O2 and a reducing agent to oxidatively cleave glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides. LPMOs represent a unique paradigm in carbohydrate turnover and exhibit synergy with hydrolytic enzymes in biomass depolymn. To date, several features of Cu binding to LPMOs have been elucidated, but the identity of the reactive O species (ROS) and the key steps in the oxidative mechanism have not been elucidated. Here, DFT calcns. were used with an enzyme active site model to identify the ROS and compare 2 hypothesized reaction pathways in LPMOs for H atom abstraction and polysaccharide hydroxylation; namely, (1) a mechanism that employs a η1-superoxo intermediate, which abstrs. a substrate H atom and a hydroperoxo species is responsible for substrate hydroxylation, and (2) a mechanism wherein a copper-oxyl radical abstrs. a H atom and subsequently hydroxylates the substrate via an oxygen-rebound mechanism. The results predicted that O binds end-on (η1) to Cu, and that a copper-oxyl-mediated, O-rebound mechanism is energetically preferred. N-terminal His methylation was also examd., which is thought to modify the structure and reactivity of the enzyme. DFT calcns. suggested that this post-translational modification had only a minor effect on the LPMO active site structure or reactivity for the examd. steps. Overall, this study suggests the steps in the LPMO mechanism for oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds.

(Elsevier Science B.V.)Reactions of Cu+(1S and 3D) with O2, CO, CO2, N2, NO, N2O, and NO2 are studied using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. Cross sections as a function of kinetic energy are measured for each system to over 17 eV. In all cases, the obsd. reactions of Cu+(1S) are endothermic. Because of the closed shell character of ground state Cu+ (1S, 3d10), most of these systems exhibit cross sections with onsets and peaks at much higher energies than expected from the known thermochem. Such behavior indicates that the reactions occur on relatively repulsive potential energy surfaces and by impulsive processes. Reliable thermodn. information is obtained primarily from the NO2 system where an anal. of the kinetic energy dependence of the reaction cross sections is used to obtain D0(Cu+-O) = 1.35 ± 0.12 eV and D0(Cu-O) = 2.94 ± 0.12 eV. Although speculative, the threshold for an excited state product asymptote in the N2O system also allows the derivation of D0(Cu+-N2) = 0.92 ± 0.31 eV. Reactions of the Cu+(3D, 4s1 3d9) excited state are generally more efficient than those of the ground state and are exothermic in several cases.

(American Institute of Physics)We present a detailed theor. investigation on the dissocn. energy of CuO+, carried out by means of coupled cluster theory, the multireference averaged coupled pair functional (MR-ACPF) approach, diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC), and d. functional theory (DFT). At the resp. extrapolated basis set limits, most post-Hartree-Fock approaches agree within a narrow error margin on a De value of 26.0 kcal mol-1 coupled-cluster singles and doubles level augmented by perturbative triples corrections, CCSD(T), 25.8 kcal mol-1 (CCSDTQ via the high accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermochem. protocol), and 25.6 kcal mol-1 (DMC), which is encouraging in view of the disaccording data published thus far. The configuration-interaction based MR-ACPF expansion, which includes single and double excitations only, gives a slightly lower value of 24.1 kcal mol-1, indicating that large basis sets and triple excitation patterns are necessary ingredients for a quant. assessment. Our best est. for D0 at the CCSD(T) level is 25.3 kcal mol-1, which is somewhat lower than the latest exptl. value (D0 = 31.1 ± 2.8 kcal mol-1; reported by the Armentrout group). These highly correlated methods are, however, computationally very demanding, and the results are therefore supplemented with those of more affordable DFT calcns. If used in combination with moderately-sized basis sets, the M05 and M06 hybrid functionals turn out to be promising candidates for studies on much larger systems contg. a CuO+ core.

(American Chemical Society)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are promising enzymes for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and biomaterials. Classically considered oxygenases, recent work suggests that H2O2 can, under certain circumstances, also be a potential substrate. Here we present a detailed mechanism of the activation of H2O2 by a C4-acting LPMO using small-model DFT and QM/MM calcns. We show that there is an efficient mechanism to break the O-O bond of H2O2, with a low barrier of 5.8 kcal/mol, via a one-electron transfer from the LPMO-Cu(I) site to form an HO• radical, stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions. Our QM/MM calcns. further show that the H-bonding machinery of the enzyme directs the HO• radical to abstr. a hydrogen atom from the Cu(II)-OH unit rather than from the substrate in what is essentially a caged-radical reaction, thereby forming a Cu(II)-oxyl species. The Cu(II)-oxyl species then exclusively oxidizes the C4-H bond due to the suitable position of the substrate. Our calcns. also suggest that the C4-hydroxylated intermediate can be efficiently hydrolyzed in water, and this process does not require enzymic catalysis. - 110(a) Hong, S.; Huber, S.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Theor. speaking: The mechanistic details assocd. with the generation and reaction of [CuO]+ species from CuI-α-ketocarboxylate complexes, esp. with respect to modifications of the ligand supporting the copper center, were investigated. Theor. models were used to characterize the electronic structures of different [CuO]+ species and their reactivity in C-H activation and O-atom transfer reactions. A mechanism for the oxygenation of CuI complexes with α-ketocarboxylate ligands that is based on a combination of d. functional theory and multireference second-order perturbation theory (CASSCF/CASPT2) calcns. is elaborated. The reaction proceeds in a manner largely analogous to those of similar FeII-α-ketocarboxylate systems, i.e., by initial attack of a coordinated oxygen mol. on a ketocarboxylate ligand with concomitant decarboxylation. Subsequently, two reactive intermediates may be generated, a Cu-peracid structure and a [CuO]+ species, both of which are capable of oxidizing a Ph ring component of the supporting ligand. Hydroxylation by the [CuO]+ species is predicted to proceed with a smaller activation free energy. The effects of electronic and steric variations on the oxygenation mechanisms were studied by introducing substituents at several positions of the ligand backbone and by investigating various N-donor ligands. In general, more electron donation by the N-donor ligand leads to increased stabilization of the more CuII/CuIII-like intermediates (oxygen adducts and [CuO]+ species) relative to the more CuI-like peracid intermediate. For all ligands investigated, the [CuO]+ intermediates are best described as CuII-O·- species with triplet ground states. The reactivity of these compds. in C-H abstraction reactions decreases with more electron-donating N-donor ligands, which also increase the Cu-O bond strength, although the Cu-O bond is generally predicted to be rather weak (with a bond order of about 0.5). A comparison of several methods to obtain singlet energies for the reaction intermediates indicates that multireference second-order perturbation theory is likely more accurate for the initial oxygen adducts, but not necessarily for subsequent reaction intermediates. - 111Tsuji, T.; Zaoputra, A.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A dual mechanism for direct benzene catalytic hydroxylation is described. Exptl. studies and DFT calcns. have provided a mechanistic explanation for the acid-free, TpxCu-catalyzed hydroxylation of benzene with hydrogen peroxide (Tpx = hydrotrispyrazolylborate ligand). In contrast with other catalytic systems that promote this transformation through Fenton-like pathways, this system operates through a copper-oxyl intermediate that may interact with the arene ring following two different, competitive routes: (a) electrophilic arom. substitution, with the copper-oxyl species acting as the formal electrophile, and (b) the so-called rebound mechanism, in which the hydrogen is abstracted by the Cu-O moiety prior to the C-O bond formation. Both pathways contribute to the global transformation albeit to different extents, the electrophilic substitution route seeming to be largely favored.

A series of four oxidn. and four deprotonation events generate the catalytically competent species cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuVO]2O4+, which breaks the H-OH bond homolytically at the rate detg. transition state to give a hydroperoxo intermediate.

A no. of plausible coupling schemes of the two metal sites including strong coupling, weak ferromagnetic and weak antiferromagnetic coupling have been considered. In addn., both high-spin and low-spin states at each of the Ru(V)-d3 centers were explored and we found that the high-spin states play an important mechanistic role. Our calcns. suggest that cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuVO]2O4+ performs formally an intramol. ligand-to-metal charge transfer when reacting with water to formally give a cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuIVO•]2O4+ complex. We propose that the key characteristic of the diruthenium catalyst that allows it to accomplish the most difficult first two oxidns. of the overall four-electron redox reaction is directly assocd. with this in situ generation of two radicaloid oxo moieties that promote the water splitting reaction. A proton coupled metal-to-metal charge transfer follows to yield a Ru(V)/Ru(III) peroxo/aqua mixed valence complex, which performs the third redox reaction to give the superoxo/aqua complex. Finally, intersystem crossing to a ferromagnetically coupled Ru(IV)/Ru(III) superoxo/aqua species is predicted, which will then promote the last redox event to release triplet dioxygen as the final product. A no. of key features of the computed mechanism are explored in detail to derive a conceptual understanding of the catalytic mechanism. - 119Rüttinger, W.; Dismukes, G. C.

(American Chemical Society)The addn. of an [X]+ electrophile to the five-coordinate oxorhenium(V) anion [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- {[apPh]2- = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(phenylamido)phenolate} gives new products contg. Re-X bonds. The Re-X bond-forming reaction is analogous to oxo transfer to [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- in that both are 2e- redox processes, but the electronic structures of the products are different. Whereas oxo addn. to [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- yields a closed-shell [ReVII(O)2(apPh)2]- product of 2e- metal oxidn., [Cl]+ addn. gives a diradical ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl product ([isqPh]·- = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(phenylimino)semiquinonate) with 1e- in a Re d orbital and 1e- on a redox-active ligand. The differences in electronic structure are ascribed to differences in the π basicity of [O]2- and Cl- ligands. The observation of ligand radicals in ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)X provides exptl. support for the capacity of redox-active ligands to deliver electrons in other bond-forming reactions at [ReV(O)(apPh)2]-, including radical addns. of O2 or TEMPO· to make Re-O bonds. Attempts to prep. the electron-transfer series monomers between ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)X and [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- yielded a sym. bis(μ-oxo)dirhenium complex. Formation of this dimer suggested that ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl may be a source of an oxyl metal fragment. The ability of ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl to undergo radical coupling at oxo was revealed in its reaction with Ph3C·, which affords Ph3COH and deoxygenated metal products. This reactivity is surprising because ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl is not a strong outer-sphere oxidant or oxo-transfer reagent. The authors postulate that the unique ability of ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl to effect oxo transfer to Ph3C· arises from symmetry-allowed mixing of a populated Re[n.58876]O π bond with a ligand-centered [isqPh]·- ligand radical, which gives oxyl radical character to the oxo ligand. This allows the closed-shell oxo ligand to undergo a net 2e- oxo-transfer reaction to Ph3C· via kinetically facile redox-active ligand-mediated radical steps. Harnessing intraligand charge transfer for radical reactions at closed-shell oxo ligands is a new strategy to exploit redox-active ligands for small-mol. activation and functionalization. The implications for the design of new oxidants that use low-barrier radical steps for selective multielectron transformations are discussed. - 122Conry, R. R.; Mayer, J. M.

With the unsubstituted triazacyclononane (tacn), however, both [ReV(O)Cl2(tacn)]+ (II) and [ReVII(O)3(tacn)]+ (III) are formed, even under anaerobic conditions. Oxidn. of II to III [Re(V) → Re(VII)] can be easily accomplished with a variety of mild oxidizing agents such as Me2SO and I2, but the oxidn. of I requires over a month at 80° in aq. nitric acid. I is reduced [Re(V) → Re(III)] by oxygen atom transfer to phosphines, forming [ReIII(OPR3)Cl2(Me3tacn)]+ (IV; R = Ph, Me). The OPPh3 ligand in IV is easily displaced by other neutral ligands such as MeCN or Me2CO. [Re(OCMe2)Cl2(Me3tacn)]+ is readily oxidized back to I [Re(III) → Re(V)] by the O atom donors BuNCO, OAsPh3, Me2SO, ethylene oxide, pyridine N-oxide, and N2O. These reactions require an open coordination site at the Re(III) center. Surprisingly, it is not substantially easier to oxidize IV than II. On the basis of these reactions, simple thermochem. cycles are used to est. the Re-oxo bond strength in I to be 141 ± 9 kcal/mol. - 123Verat, A. Y.; Fan, H.; Pink, M.; Chen, Y.-S.; Caulton, K. G.

The more general application of POMs as photoactive compds., in particular in solar energy harnessing, has been hampered as the clusters typically absorb light in the UV-region only. Over the past decade, concepts have been put forward on how the reactivity of this class of compds. can be optimized to improve their overall photoactivity, and a particular focus has been on the design of photocatalytic processes which allow the conversion of solar light into useful chem. reactivity. This perspective gives a brief overview of general aspects of POM photochem. and critically discusses the advantages and challenges of a range of POM-based systems for photooxidns. and photoredns. with a focus on the development of sustainable solar light conversion systems.

Irradn. of the charge-transfer bands of POM dissolved in org. media at 25° leads in most cases to oxidn. of the org. substrate and redn. of the POM. The POM fall into 3 categories defined by their thermal and photochem. redox chem. in the presence of org. substrates. Type I complexes, exemplified by those of Nb and Ta, do not photooxidize any org. substrate upon irradn. Type II complexes, exemplified by decavanadate and most heteropoly- and isopolymolybdates, and Type III complexes, exemplified by most heteropoly- and isopolytungstates, do not oxidize a wide range of org. substrates upon irradn. Reoxidn. of the reduced forms of the Type II complexes, either by reaction with O2 or by evolution of H2, is kinetically or thermodynamically unfavorable; analogous reoxidn. of the reduced forms of the Type III complexes is not. Several factors affecting the quantum yields for prodn. of reduced POM are outlined, and the energetic features regarding H2 evolution are discussed. The IR, UV, and 31P, 183W and 17O NMR spectral properties of α-H3PW12O40.6H2O (I) and other POM remain the same before and after catalytic photochem. dehydrogenation of representative alc., ether or amide substrates. Little if any POM decompn. occurs during the photoredox chem. Interactions between org. substrates and POM have profound effects on the electronic structure of the POM. The charge-transfer transitions of I display different sensitivities to medium in the low-energy (λ >300 nm) vs. high-energy region of the UV-visible spectral range. The highest quantum yields for photoredox chem. involving org. substrates and I are obsd. in the low-energy or absorption-tail region. One possible model explaining the wavelength dependence of the absorption and photochem. action spectra is discussed. A general mechanism in agreement with all the exptl. data is proposed for org. substrate oxidn. and the effective capture of light energy in these POM-org. substrate systems. - 127Duncan, D.

(American Chemical Society)The authors report picosecond flash excitation results on [W10O32]4-, which demonstrate that the initially prepd. ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) excited state decays within ∼30 ps to a single intermediate that persists for >15 ns. Little or no substrate reaction is derived from the short-lived LMCT excited state. Furthermore, the long-lived intermediate is not the 1-electron-reduced species [W10O32]5- or one of its protonated derivs. This long-lived intermediate is the primary photoreactant and has substantial charge-transfer character itself. Addnl. the intermediate and [W10O32]5- are likely to have similar W-orbital electron d.; the principal differences in electronic structure derive from the presence of an oxidized oxygen site in the intermediate which is lacking in [W10O32]5-.

(American Chemical Society)A review. A fundamental goal in catalysis is the coupling of multiple reactions to yield a desired product. Enzymes have evolved elegant approaches to address this grand challenge. A salient example is the biol. conversion of methane to methanol catalyzed by sol. methane monooxygenase (sMMO), a member of the bacterial multicomponent monooxygenase (BMM) superfamily. SMMO is a dynamic protein complex of three components: a hydroxylase, a reductase, and a regulatory protein. The active site, a carboxylate-rich non-heme diiron center, is buried inside the 251 kDa hydroxylase component. The enzyme processes four substrates: O2, protons, electrons, and methane. To couple O2 activation to methane oxidn., timely control of substrate access to the active site is crit. Recent studies of sMMO, as well as its homologs in the BMM superfamily, have begun to unravel the mechanism. The emerging and unifying picture reveals that each substrate gains access to the active site along a specific pathway through the hydroxylase. Electrons and protons are delivered via a three-amino-acid pore located adjacent to the diiron center; O2 migrates via a series of hydrophobic cavities; and hydrocarbon substrates reach the active site through a channel or linked set of cavities. The gating of these pathways mediates entry of each substrate to the diiron active site in a timed sequence and is coordinated by dynamic interactions with the other component proteins. The result is coupling of dioxygen consumption with hydrocarbon oxidn., avoiding unproductive oxidn. of the reductant rather than the desired hydrocarbon. To initiate catalysis, the reductase delivers two electrons to the diiron(III) center by binding over the pore of the hydroxylase. The regulatory component then displaces the reductase, docking onto the same surface of the hydroxylase. Formation of the hydroxylase-regulatory component complex (i) induces conformational changes of pore residues that may bring protons to the active site; (ii) connects hydrophobic cavities in the hydroxylase leading from the exterior to the diiron active site, providing a pathway for O2 and methane, in the case of sMMO, to the reduced diiron center for O2 activation and substrate hydroxylation; (iii) closes the pore, as well as a channel in the case of four-component BMM enzymes, restricting proton access to the diiron center during formation of "Fe2O2" intermediates required for hydrocarbon oxidn.; and (iv) inhibits undesired electron transfer to the Fe2O2 intermediates by blocking reductase binding during O2 activation. This mechanism is quite different from that adopted by cytochromes P 450, a large class of heme-contg. monooxygenases that catalyze reactions very similar to those catalyzed by the BMM enzymes. Understanding the timed enzyme control of substrate access has implications for designing artificial catalysts. To achieve multiple turnovers and tight coupling, synthetic models must also control substrate access, a major challenge considering that nature requires large, multimeric, dynamic protein complexes to accomplish this feat.(b) Baik, M.-H.; Newcomb, M.; Friesner, R.

(American Chemical Society)A review. The conversion of methane to methanol is catalyzed at the active site of a metalloenzyme known as methane monooxygenase, or MMO. One atom of the dioxygen mol. is assimilated into the alc. and the other forms water. In methanotrophic organisms there are two kinds of MMO systems, a sol. form (sMMO), comprising several protein components that have been isolated and structurally characterized, and a membrane-bound or particulate form (pMMO). The hydroxylase responsible for dioxygen activation and hydrocarbon oxidn. in pMMO, which is expressed in practically all methanotrophs, contains copper. Under copper-deficient conditions, some methanotrophs express sMMO, the hydroxylase enzyme of which (MMOH) contains a carboxylate-bridged nonheme diiron center at its active site. The ability of the MMO systems to activate inert C-H bonds under ambient conditions has captivated the imagination of many researchers over the past 20 yr. If a biomimetic industrial catalyst could be devised that reproduced the reactivity of this enzyme, then large-scale conversion of methane gas (it is currently not economical to transport and store methane gas from remote sites) into methanol might make available a new cost-effective energy source. Although such a catalyst is not realistic for the near future, there are valuable lessons to be learned for the design of compds. that can oxidize alkane and other substrates catalytically by studying how nature utilizes a relatively small transition metal-based active site to achieve a difficult chem. transformation.(c) Brazeau, B.

(American Chemical Society)Norcarane is a valuable mechanistic probe for enzyme-catalyzed hydrocarbon oxidn. reactions because different products or product distributions result from concerted, radical, and cation based reactions. Sol. methane monooxygenase (sMMO) from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b catalyzes the oxidn. of norcarane to afford 3-hydroxymethylcyclohexene and 3-cycloheptenol, compds. characteristic of radical and cationic intermediates, resp., in addn. to 2- and 3-norcaranols. Past single turnover transient kinetic studies have identified several optically distinct intermediates from the catalytic cycle of the hydroxylase component of sMMO. Thus, the reaction between norcarane and key reaction intermediates can be directly monitored. The presence of norcarane increases the rate of decay of only one intermediate, the high-valent bis-μ-oxo Fe(IV)2 cluster-contg. species compd. Q, showing that it is responsible for the majority of the oxidn. chem. The observation of products from both radical and cationic intermediates from norcarane oxidn. catalyzed by sMMO is consistent with a mechanism in which an initial substrate radical intermediate is formed by hydrogen atom abstraction. This intermediate then undergoes either oxygen rebound, intramol. rearrangement followed by oxygen rebound, or loss of a second electron to yield a cationic intermediate to which OH- is transferred. The estd. lower limit of 20 ps for the lifetime of the putative radical intermediate is in accord with values detd. from previous studies of sterically hindered sMMO probes. - 4(a) Burzlaff, N.

(Macmillan Magazines)Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), a non-heme iron-dependent oxidase, catalyzes the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN), the precursor of all penicillins and cephalosporins. The key steps in this reaction are the two iron-dioxygen-mediated ring closures of the tripeptide δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). It has been proposed that the four-membered β-lactam ring forms initially, assocd. with a highly oxidized iron(IV)-oxo (ferryl) moiety, which subsequently mediates closure of the five-membered thiazolidine ring. Here we describe observation of the IPNS reaction in crystals by X-ray crystallog. IPNS·Fe2+ substrate crystals were grown anaerobically, exposed to high pressures of oxygen to promote reaction and frozen, and their structures were elucidated by X-ray diffraction. Using the natural substrate ACV, this resulted in the IPNS·Fe2+·IPN product complex. With the substrate analog, δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-L-S-methyl-cysteine (ACmC) in the crystal, the reaction cycle was interrupted at the monocyclic stage. These mono- and bicyclic structures support our hypothesis of a two-stage reaction sequence leading to penicillin. Furthermore, the formation of a monocyclic sulfoxide product from ACmC is most simply explained by the interception of a high-valency iron-oxo species.(b) Ge, W.; Clifton, I. J.; Stok, J.

(American Chemical Society)Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a nonheme iron oxidase that catalyzes the central step in the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics: oxidative cyclization of the linear tripeptide δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N (IPN). The ACV analog δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteine (1-(S)-carboxy-2-thiomethyl)ethyl ester (ACOmC) has been synthesized as a mechanistic probe of IPNS catalysis and crystd. with the enzyme. The crystal structure of the anaerobic IPNS/Fe(II)/ACOmC complex was detd. to 1.80 Å resoln., revealing a highly congested active site region. By exposing these anaerobically grown crystals to high-pressure oxygen gas, an unexpected sulfenate product has been obsd., complexed to iron within the IPNS active site. A mechanism is proposed for formation of the sulfenate-iron complex, and it appears that ACOmC follows a different reaction pathway at the earliest stages of its reaction with IPNS. Thus it seems that oxygen (the cosubstrate) binds in a different site to that obsd. in previous studies with IPNS, displacing a water ligand from iron in the process. The iron-mediated conversion of metal-bound thiolate to sulfenate has not previously been obsd. in crystallog. studies with IPNS. This mode of reactivity is of particular interest when considered in the context of another family of nonheme iron enzymes, the nitrile hydratases, in which post-translational oxidn. of two cysteine thiolates to sulfenic and sulfinic acids is essential for enzyme activity. - 5Riggs-Gelasco, P.

(Nature Publishing Group)Non-heme Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent enzymes harness the reducing power of αKG to catalyze oxidative reactions, usually the hydroxylation of unactivated C atoms, and are involved in processes such as natural product biosynthesis, the mammalian hypoxic response, and DNA repair. These enzymes couple the decarboxylation of αKG with the formation of a high-energy ferryl-oxo intermediate that acts as a H-abstracting species. All previously structurally characterized mononuclear Fe-enzymes contain a 2-His, 1-carboxylate motif that coordinates the Fe. The 2 His residues and 1 carboxylate moiety, known as the 'facial triad', form one triangular side of an octahedral Fe coordination geometry. A subclass of mononuclear Fe-enzymes has been shown to catalyze halogenation reactions, rather than the more typical hydroxylation reaction. SyrB2, a member of this subclass, is a non-heme Fe(II)/αKG-dependent halogenase that catalyzes the chlorination of threonine in syringomycin E biosynthesis by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B301D. Here, the authors report the crystal structure of SyrB2 with both a Cl- ion and αKG coordinated to Fe at 1.6 Å resoln. This structure reveals a previously unknown coordination of Fe, in which the carboxylate ligand of the facial triad is replaced by a Cl- ion.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of O2 activation. In 2003, researchers 1st spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine-α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme Fe-contg. enzyme with a Fe active center was coordinated to a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad motif. In the same year, researchers obtained the 1st crystal structure of a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complex bearing a macrocyclic supporting ligand, [(TMC)FeIV(O)]2+ (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecene), in studies that mimicked the biol. enzymes. With these breakthrough results, many other studies have examd. mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates trapped in enzymic reactions or synthesized in biomimetic reactions. Over the past decade, researchers in the fields of biol., bioinorg., and oxidn. chem. have extensively investigated the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo species, leading to a wealth of information from these enzymic and biomimetic studies. Here, the authors summarize the reactivity and mechanisms of synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes in oxidn. reactions and examines factors that modulate their reactivities and change their reaction mechanisms. The authors focus on several reactions including the oxidn. of org. and inorg. compds., electron transfer, and O atom exchange with water by synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. In addn., the authors recently obsd. that C-H bond activation by nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo and other nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes does not follow the H-atom abstraction/oxygen-rebound mechanism, which has been well-established in heme systems. The structural and electronic effects of supporting ligands on the oxidizing power of Fe(IV)-oxo complexes are significant in these reactions. However, the difference in spin states between nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes with an octahedral geometry (with an S = 1 intermediate-spin state) or a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (with an S = 2 high-spin state) does not lead to a significant change in reactivity in biomimetic systems. Thus, the importance of the high-spin state of Fe(IV)-oxo species in nonheme Fe-contg. enzymes remains unexplained. The authors also discuss how the axial and equatorial ligands and binding of redox-inactive metal ions and protons to the Fe-oxo moiety influence the reactivities of the nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. The authors emphasize how these changes can enhance the oxidizing power of nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes in O atom transfer and electron-transfer reactions remarkably. The authors demonstrate great advancements in the understanding of the chem. of mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates within the last 10 yr.(d) Ray, K.; Pfaff, F. F.; Wang, B.; Nam, W.

A range of metalloenzymes achieve these challenging tasks in biol. by using cheap and abundant transition metals, such as Fe, Cu, and Mn.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Recent efforts to design synthetic iron catalysts for the selective and efficient oxidn. of C-H and C=C bonds have been inspired by a versatile family of nonheme iron oxygenases. These bioinspired nonheme (N4)FeII catalysts use H2O2 to oxidize substrates with high regio- and stereoselectivity, unlike in Fenton chem. where highly reactive but unselective hydroxyl radicals are produced. In this Account, we highlight our efforts to shed light on the nature of metastable peroxo intermediates, which we have trapped at -40 °C, in the reactions of the iron catalyst with H2O2 under various conditions and the high-valent species derived therefrom. Under the reaction conditions that originally led to the discovery of this family of catalysts, we have characterized spectroscopically an FeIII-OOH intermediate (EPR gmax = 2.19) that leads to the hydroxylation of substrate C-H bonds or the epoxidn. and cis-dihydroxylation of C=C bonds. Surprisingly, these org. products show incorporation of 18O from H218O, thereby excluding the possibility of a direct attack of the FeIII-OOH intermediate on the substrate. Instead, a water-assisted mechanism is implicated in which water binding to the iron(III) center at a site adjacent to the hydroperoxo ligand promotes heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond to generate an FeV(O)(OH) oxidant. This mechanism is supported by recent kinetic studies showing that the FeIII-OOH intermediate undergoes exponential decay at a rate enhanced by the addn. of water and retarded by replacement of H2O with D2O, as well as mass spectral evidence for the FeV(O)(OH) species obtained by the Costas group. The nature of the peroxo intermediate changes significantly when the reactions are carried out in the presence of carboxylic acids. Under these conditions, spectroscopic studies support the formation of a (κ2-acylperoxo)iron(III) species (EPR gmax = 2.58) that decays at -40 °C in the absence of substrate to form an oxoiron(IV) byproduct, along with a carboxyl radical that readily loses CO2. The alkyl radical thus formed either reacts with O2 to form benzaldehyde (as in the case of PhCH2COOH) or rebounds with the incipient FeIV(O) moiety to form phenol (as in the case of C6F5COOH). Substrate addn. leads to its 2-e- oxidn. and inhibits these side reactions. The emerging mechanistic picture, supported by DFT calcns. of Wang and Shaik, describes a rather flat reaction landscape in which the (κ2-acylperoxo)iron(III) intermediate undergoes O-O bond homolysis reversibly to form an FeIV(O)(•OC(O)R) species that decays to FeIV(O) and RCO2• or isomerizes to its FeV(O)(O2CR) electromer, which effects substrate oxidn. Another short-lived S = 1/2 species just discovered by Talsi that has much less g-anisotropy (EPR gmax = 2.07) may represent either of these postulated high-valent intermediates. - 8(a) Groves, J.

The temp. dependence for the conversion of II (R = m-ClC6H4) to III in the presence of excess I (R = m-Cl) showed that the conversion had a very low activation enthalpy and a large neg. activation entropy. The conversion of II to III involves acid catalyzed heterolytic O-O bond cleavage.(d) Yamaguchi, K.; Watanabe, Y.; Morishima, I.

In transformation of 5 to the corresponding oxoferryl (O:FeIV) porphyrin cation radicals (6) in CH2Cl2 at -80°, heterolytic O-O bond cleavage is 1st order. Introduction of electron-donating substituents at the meso-positions of the porphyrin ring facilitates the O-O bond cleavage in 5. Addn. of 1 equiv of imidazole derivs. to a CH2Cl2 soln. of 5 immediately gave an acylperoxoiron(III) porphyrin-imidazole adduct (9). Heterolytic bond cleavage in 9 6 also is 1st order in [9], and was accelerated by the coordination of electron-rich imidazole derivs. However, the push effect on the homolytic O-O bond cleavage reaction was examd. in toluene at -6° to ∼-40°. The homolytic O-O bond cleavage of 9 afforded the imidazole adduct of oxoferryl porphyrin complex when phenylperacetic acid was employed. Homolysis of the O-O bond is enhanced by the imidazole ligation; however, the push effect on homolysis is much less than that on heterolysis. These results explain the biol. use of strong electron-donor ligands in heme enzymes such as peroxidase, cytochrome P 450, and catalase.(e) Fujii, H.

The electronic structures of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals were investigated by low-temp. UV-visible absorption spectra and 1H NMR measurements. The absorption spectra features of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals of I changed with an increase of the electron-withdrawing power of ring substituents, while those of II did not. 1H NMR measurements demonstrated that oxoiron(IV) porphyrin radicals of I have an a1u radical character and that those of II are better described as an a2u radical species. The reactivities of oxygen atoms of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals were examd. by competitive epoxidn. of cyclohexene by two oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radicals with different radical orbital occupancies or oxidn. potentials. The reactivity of the O atom of the oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π-cation radical depends on its oxidn. potential and is not affected by the a1u/a2u orbital occupancy. - 9(a) Cussó, O.; Ribas, X.; Costas, M.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Iron coordination complexes with nitrogen and oxygen donor ligands have long since been known to react with peroxides producing powerful oxidizing species. These compds. can be regarded as simple structural and functional models of the active sites of non-heme iron dependent oxygenases. Research efforts during the last decade have uncovered basic principles and structural coordination chem. motifs that permit us to control the chem. that evolves when these iron complexes react with peroxides, in order to provide powerful metal-based, but at the same time selective, oxidising agents. Oxidn. methodologies with synthetic value are currently emerging from this approach. The current review focuses on asym. epoxidn., a reaction which has large value in synthesis, and where iron/H2O2 based methodologies may represent not only a sustainable choice, but may also expand the scope of state-of-the-art oxidn. methods. Basic principles that underlay catalyst design as well as H2O2 activation are discussed, while limitations and future perspectives are also reviewed.(b) Kleespies, S. T.; Oloo, W.

(American Chemical Society)The development of efficient and selective hydrocarbon oxidn. processes with low environmental impact remains a major challenge of the 21st century because of the strong and apolar nature of the C-H bond. Naturally occurring iron-contg. metalloenzymes can, however, selectively functionalize strong C-H bonds on substrates under mild and environmentally benign conditions. The key oxidant in a no. of these transformations is postulated to possess an S = 2 FeIV=O unit in a nonheme ligand environment. This oxidant has been trapped and spectroscopically characterized and its reactivity toward C-H bonds demonstrated for several nonheme iron enzyme classes. In order to obtain insight into the structure-activity relationships of these reactive intermediates, over 60 synthetic nonheme FeIV(O) complexes have been prepd. in various labs. and their reactivities investigated. This Forum Article summarizes the current status of efforts in the characterization of the C-H bond cleavage reactivity of synthetic FeIV(O) complexes and provides a snapshot of the current understanding of factors that control this reactivity, such as the properties of the supporting ligands and the spin state of the iron center. In addn., new results on the oxidn. of strong C-H bonds such as those of cyclohexane and n-butane by a putative S = 2 synthetic FeIV(O) species that is generated in situ using dioxygen at ambient conditions are presented. - 10(a) Chan, S.

These reactions were found to proceed via a Haber-Weiss-type electron-transfer reaction to generate alkoxo (RO√) and alkylperoxo (ROO√) radicals as reactive species. This electron transfer was mainly governed by the redox potentials of a complex employed as a catalyst. In addn., the environment around a ruthenium center(s) involving steric hindrance due to substituents on the pyridine rings and an intramol. π-π interaction, should be also significant to regulate the reactivity of the catalyst; probably in terms of shielding of the ruthenium center(s) against the approach of peroxides to undergo the electron transfer. For those reactions with alkyl hydroperoxides, O2 generated from peroxide decompn. plays an important role in promoting reactions as a radical chain carrier.

(American Chemical Society)[FeIV(O)(TMG3tren)]2+ (1; TMG3tren = 1,1,1-tris{2-[N2-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino)]ethyl}amine) is a unique example of an isolable synthetic S = 2 oxoiron(IV) complex, which serves as a model for the high-valent oxoiron(IV) intermediates obsd. in nonheme iron enzymes. Congruent with DFT calcns. predicting a more reactive S = 2 oxoiron(IV) center, 1 has a lifetime significantly shorter than those of related S = 1 oxoiron(IV) complexes. The self-decay of 1 exhibits strictly first-order kinetic behavior and is unaffected by solvent deuteration, suggesting an intramol. process. This hypothesis was supported by ESI-MS anal. of the iron products and a significant retardation of self-decay upon use of a perdeuteromethyl TMG3tren isotopomer, d36-1 (KIE = 24 at 25°C). The greatly enhanced thermal stability of d36-1 allowed growth of diffraction quality crystals for which a high-resoln. crystal structure was obtained. This structure showed an Fe=O unit (r = 1.661(2) Å) in the intended trigonal bipyramidal geometry enforced by the sterically bulky tetramethylguanidinyl donors of the tetradentate tripodal TMG3tren ligand. The close proximity of the Me substituents to the oxoiron unit yielded three sym. oriented short C-D···O nonbonded contacts (2.38-2.49 Å), an arrangement that facilitated self-decay by rate-detg. intramol. hydrogen atom abstraction and subsequent formation of a ligand-hydroxylated iron(III) product. EPR and Mossbauer quantification of the various iron products, referenced against those obtained from reaction of 1 with 1,4-cyclohexadiene, allowed formulation of a detailed mechanism for the self-decay process. The soln. of this first crystal structure of a high-spin (S = 2) oxoiron(IV) center represents a fundamental step on the path toward a full understanding of these pivotal biol. intermediates.(b) Klinker, E.

Herein the authors describe the synthesis of MnIV(OH)(ttppc) (3) (ttppc = tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl) corrole), which was characterized by XRD. The large steric encumbrance of the ttppc ligand allowed for isolation of 3. The complexes MnV(O)(ttppc) (4) and MnIII(H2O)(ttppc) (1·H2O) were also synthesized and structurally characterized, providing Mn complexes related only by the transfer of H atoms. Both 3 and 4 abstr. an H atom from the O-H bond of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) to give a radical coupling product in good yield (3 = 90(2)%, 4 = 91(5)%). Complex 3 reacts with 2,4-DTBP with a rate const. of k2 = 2.73(12) × 104 M-1 s-1, which is ∼3 orders of magnitude larger than 4 (k2 = 17.4(1) M-1 s-1). Reaction of 3 with para-substituted 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol derivs. (4-X-2,6-DTBP; X = OMe, Me, tBu, H) gives rate consts. in the range k2 = 510(10)-36(1.4) M-1 s-1 and led to Hammett and Marcus plot correlations. Together with kinetic isotope effect measurements, O-H cleavage occurs by a concerted H atom transfer (HAT) mechanism and the MnIV(OH) complex is a much more powerful H atom abstractor than the higher-valent MnV(O) complex, or even some FeIV(O) complexes.(c) Halbach, R.

The [MnIV(O)(ditox)3]- furnishes a model for the proposed terminal oxo of the unique manganese of the oxygen evolving complex of photosystem II. - 14(a) Qin, K.; Incarvito, C. D.; Rheingold, A.

Similarly, a semiempirical quantum mech. method for transition metals was extended to vanadium. In this research soft and hard ligands were studied, as were ligands coordinated through single, multiple, and dative bonds. Despite the diversity of vanadium coordination chem., generally good modeling is achieved in a fraction of the time with less computational resources using mol. mechanics and semiempirical quantum mechanics.

The electron-withdrawing Cl substituents at the pyrrole carbons in the vanadyl-Cl8TTP deriv. produce remarkable red shifts of the Soret and Q absorption bands and an important anodic shift of the porphyrin ring oxidn. and redn. potentials. This is an indication that the porphyrin core of 1 is severely nonplanar in soln. The mol. structure of the vanadyl deriv. shows a very high saddle distortion and an important ruffled deformation of the porphyrin macrocycle.

(American Chemical Society)Oxo-iron(V) species have been implicated in the catalytic cycle of the Rieske dioxygenase. Its synthetic analog, [FeV(O)(OC(O)CH3)(PyNMe3)]2+ (1, PyNMe3 = 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9- trimethyl), derived from the O-O bond cleavage of its acetylperoxo iron(III) precursor, has been shown exptl. to perform regio- and stereo-selective C-H and C=C bond functionalization. However, its structure-activity relation is poorly understood. Herein we present a detailed electronic-structure and spectroscopic anal. of complex 1 along with well-characterized oxo-iron(V) complexes, [FeV(O)(TAML)]- (2, TAML = tetraamido macrocyclic ligand), [FeV(O)(TMC)(NC(O)CH3)]+ (4, TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and [FeV(O)(TMC)(NC(OH)CH3)]2+ (4-H+) using wavefunction-based multireference complete active-space SCF calcns. Our results reveal that the x/y anisotropy of the 57Fe A-matrix is not a reliable spectroscopic marker to identify oxo-iron(V) species, and that the drastically different Ax and Ay values detd. for complexes 1, 4 and 4-H+ have distinctive origins compared to complex 2, a genuine oxo-iron(V) species. Complex 1, in fact, has a dominant character of [FeIV(O•••OC(O)CH3)2-•]2+, i.e. an SFe = 1 iron(IV) center antiferromagnetically coupled to an O-O σ* radical, where the O-O bond has not been completely broken. Complex 4 is best described as a triplet ferryl unit that strongly interacts with the trans acetylimidyl radical in an antiferromagnetic fashion, [FeIV(O)(•N=C(O-)CH3)]+. Complex 4-H+ features a similar electronic structure, [FeIV(O)(•N=C(OH)CH3)]2+. Owing to the remaining approx. half σ-bond in the O-O moiety, complex 1 can arrange two electron-accepting orbitals (α σ* O-O and β Fe-dxz) in such a way that both orbitals can simultaneously interact with the doubly occupied electron-donating orbitals (σC-H or πC-C). Hence, complex 1 can promote a concerted yet asynchronous two-electron oxidn. of the C-H and C=C bonds, which nicely explains the stereospecificity obsd. for complex 1 and the related species.(b) Ye, S.; Geng, C.-Y.; Shaik, S.; Neese, F.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. This perspective discusses the principles of the multistate scenario often encountered in transition metal catalyzed reactions, and is organized as follows. First, several important theor. concepts (phys. vs. formal oxidn. states, orbital interactions, use of (spin) natural and corresponding orbitals, exchange enhanced reactivity and the connection between valence bond and MO based electronic structure anal.) are presented. These concepts are then used to analyze the electronic structure changes occurring in the reaction of C-H bond oxidn. by FeIVoxo species. The anal. reveals that the energy sepn. and the overlap between the electron donating orbitals and electron accepting orbitals of the FeIVoxo complexes dictate the reaction stereochem., and that the manner in which the exchange interaction changes depends on the identity of these orbitals. The electronic reorganization of the FeIVoxo species during the reaction is thoroughly analyzed and it is shown that the FeIVoxo reactant develops oxyl radical character, which interacts effectively with the σCH orbital of the alkane. The factors that det. the energy barrier for the reaction are discussed in terms of MO and valence bond concepts.(c) Ogliaro, F.; de Visser, S. P.; Groves, J. T.; Shaik, S.

The importance of spectroscopy combined with electronic structure calcns. is clearly demonstrated by the non-heme iron enzymes. Many members of this large class of enzymes activate dioxygen using a ferrous active site that has generally been difficult to study with most spectroscopic methods. A new spectroscopic methodol. has been developed utilizing variable temp., variable field magnetic CD, which enables one to obtain detailed insight into the geometric and electronic structure of the non-heme ferrous active site and probe its reaction mechanism on a mol. level. This spectroscopic methodol. is presented and applied to a no. of key mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes leading to a general mechanistic strategy for O2 activation. These studies are then extended to consider the new features present in the binuclear non-heme iron enzymes and applied to understand (1) the mechanism of the two electron/coupled proton transfer to dioxygen binding to a single iron center in hemerythrin and (2) structure/function correlations over the oxygen-activating enzymes stearoyl-ACP Δ9-desaturase, ribonucleotide reductase, and methane monooxygenase.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of O2 activation. In 2003, researchers 1st spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine-α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme Fe-contg. enzyme with a Fe active center was coordinated to a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad motif. In the same year, researchers obtained the 1st crystal structure of a mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complex bearing a macrocyclic supporting ligand, [(TMC)FeIV(O)]2+ (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecene), in studies that mimicked the biol. enzymes. With these breakthrough results, many other studies have examd. mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates trapped in enzymic reactions or synthesized in biomimetic reactions. Over the past decade, researchers in the fields of biol., bioinorg., and oxidn. chem. have extensively investigated the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo species, leading to a wealth of information from these enzymic and biomimetic studies. Here, the authors summarize the reactivity and mechanisms of synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes in oxidn. reactions and examines factors that modulate their reactivities and change their reaction mechanisms. The authors focus on several reactions including the oxidn. of org. and inorg. compds., electron transfer, and O atom exchange with water by synthetic mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. In addn., the authors recently obsd. that C-H bond activation by nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo and other nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes does not follow the H-atom abstraction/oxygen-rebound mechanism, which has been well-established in heme systems. The structural and electronic effects of supporting ligands on the oxidizing power of Fe(IV)-oxo complexes are significant in these reactions. However, the difference in spin states between nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes with an octahedral geometry (with an S = 1 intermediate-spin state) or a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (with an S = 2 high-spin state) does not lead to a significant change in reactivity in biomimetic systems. Thus, the importance of the high-spin state of Fe(IV)-oxo species in nonheme Fe-contg. enzymes remains unexplained. The authors also discuss how the axial and equatorial ligands and binding of redox-inactive metal ions and protons to the Fe-oxo moiety influence the reactivities of the nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo complexes. The authors emphasize how these changes can enhance the oxidizing power of nonheme metal(IV)-oxo complexes in O atom transfer and electron-transfer reactions remarkably. The authors demonstrate great advancements in the understanding of the chem. of mononuclear nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates within the last 10 yr. - 27(a) Bryant, J. R.; Mayer, J. M.

The kinetic isotope effect for oxidn. of DHA vs DHA-d4 gives kH/kD ≥ 35 ± 1.

This mechanism also appears to apply to the oxidns. of toluene, ethylbenzene, cumene, indene, and cyclohexene. The rate consts. for H-atom abstraction from these substrates correlate well with the strength of the C-H bond that is cleaved. Rate consts. for abstraction from DHA and toluene also correlate with those for oxygen radicals and other oxidants. The rate const. for H-atom transfer from toluene to [(bpy)2(py)RuIVO]2+ appears to be close to that predicted by the Marcus cross relation, using a tentative rate const. for hydrogen atom self-exchange between [(bpy)2(py)RuIIIOH]2+ and [(bpy)2(py)RuIVO]2+.(b) Saouma, C.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The prevalence of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions in chem. and biol. systems has prompted much interest in establishing and understanding the underlying factors that enable this reactivity. Arguments have been advanced that the electronic spin state of the abstractor and/or the spin-d. at the abstracting atom are crit. for HAT reactivity. This is consistent with the intuition derived from introductory org. chem. courses. Alternative view on the role of spin state and spin d. in HAT reactions. After a brief introduction, the second section introduces a new and simple fundamental kinetic anal., which shows that unpaired spin cannot be the dominant effect. The third section examines published computational studies of HAT reactions, which indicates that the spin state affects these reactions indirectly, primarily via changes in driving force. The essay concludes with a broader view of HAT reactivity, including indirect effects of spin and other properties. It is suggested that some of the controversy in this area may arise from the diversity of HAT reactions and their overlap with proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions. - 28Wang, B.; Lee, Y.-M.; Tcho, W.-Y.; Tussupbayev, S.; Kim, S.-T.; Kim, Y.; Seo, M.

(Nature Publishing Group)Terminal cobalt(IV)-oxo (CoIV-O) species have been implicated as key intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidn. reactions. Herein we report the photocatalytic generation of a mononuclear non-haem [(13-TMC)CoIV(O)]2+ (2) by irradiating [CoII(13-TMC)(CF3SO3)]+ (1) in the presence of [RuII(bpy)3]2+, Na2S2O8, and water as an oxygen source. The intermediate 2 was also obtained by reacting 1 with an artificial oxidant (i.e., iodosylbenzene) and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. In particular, the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 reveals a diat. Co-O vibration band at 770 cm-1, which provides the conclusive evidence for the presence of a terminal Co-O bond. In reactivity studies, 2 was shown to be a competent oxidant in an intermetal oxygen atom transfer, C-H bond activation and olefin epoxidn. reactions. The present results lend strong credence to the intermediacy of CoIV-O species in cobalt-catalyzed oxidn. of org. substrates as well as in the catalytic oxidn. of water that evolves mol. oxygen.

(Nature Publishing Group)Terminal oxo complexes of transition metals have crit. roles in various biol. and chem. processes. For example, the catalytic oxidn. of org. mols., some oxidative enzymic transformations, and the activation of dioxygen on metal surfaces are all thought to involve oxo complexes. Moreover, they are believed to be key intermediates in the photocatalytic oxidn. of water to give mol. oxygen, a topic of intensive global research aimed at artificial photosynthesis and water splitting. The terminal oxo ligand is a strong π-electron donor, so it readily forms stable complexes with high-valent early transition metals. As the d orbitals are filled up with valence electrons, the terminal oxo ligand becomes destabilized. Here we present evidence for a dn (n > 5) terminal oxo complex that is not stabilized by an electron withdrawing ligand framework. This d6 Pt(IV) complex exhibits reactivity as an inter- and intramol. oxygen donor and as an electrophile. In addn., it undergoes a water activation process leading to a terminal dihydroxo complex, which may be relevant to the mechanism of catalytic reactions such as water oxidn.(b) Efremenko, I.; Poverenov, E.; Martin, J.

(American Chemical Society)The recently published [(PCN)Pt:O]+ complex is interesting as a unique example of a stable d6 terminal transition metal oxo complex not stabilized by electron withdrawing ligands and as a model of oxo complexes frequently implicated as key intermediates in various processes of oxygen transfer. In the present work, we report an extensive DFT study of its geometric and electronic structure, compn. in soln., and reactivity. The thermodn. data and calcd. 195Pt NMR chem. shifts reveal that one solvent mol. is weakly coordinated to the complex in acetone soln. This ancillary ligand is responsible for the diamagnetic state of the complex, retards intramol. oxygen transfer, and facilitates CO oxidn. Chem. transformations of the coordinated acetone mol., coordination of other ancillary ligands present in the reaction mixt., and protonation of the Pt-oxo group in nonacidic media are excluded based on thermodn. or kinetic considerations. Bonding of the terminal oxo ligand with strong electrophiles presents the key interaction in the mechanisms of intramol. oxygen insertion into the Pt-P bond, in CO oxidn. and in water activation mediated by microsolvation. Low affinity of the terminal oxo ligand toward "soft" covalent interactions brings about intermediate formation of agostic hydrido and hydroxo complexes along the reaction pathway of dihydrogen oxidn. Stabilization of the Pt-oxo bonding is attributed to bending of the terminal oxo ligand out of the plane of the complex and to significant transfer of electron d. from compact low lying Pt 5d orbitals to more diffuse 6s and 6p orbitals. - 30(a) Zhou, M.; Schley, N.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. The enhancement of the reactivity of peroxides, particularly H2O2 and alkylhydroperoxides, in the presence of V catalysis is a very known process. The catalytic effect is detd. by the formation of an intermediate whose nature depends on the peroxides used and on its interaction with the metal precursor, high-valent peroxo V species being usually the reactive oxidants. During the last decades the mechanistic details for several types of oxidn. reactions have been elucidated. In a no. of cases theor. calcns. offered support to the proposed reaction pathways. In general, V(V) peroxo species behave as electrophilic O transfer reagents thus reacting preferentially with the more nucleophilic functional group present in the mol. In several instances the chemoselectivity obsd. in such processes is very high when not abs. As far as V peroxides are concerned, a radical oxidative reactivity toward alkanes and aroms. was also obsd.; also for this latter chem., diverse research groups studied in detail the mechanism. However, no clear-cut evidence of nucleophilic reactivity of V peroxo complexes was obtained. Here the authors collect a selection of recent achievements concerning the reaction mechanisms in the V catalyzed oxidn. and bromination reactions with peroxides.(b) Waidmann, C. R.; DiPasquale, A.

That VVO2 is generated 1st appears to be due to the ability of VIVO(OH) to act as a hydrogen atom donor. For instance, VIVO(OH) reacts with VVO(O2) to give VVO2. VVO(O2) is also slowly reduced to VIVO(OH) by the org. hydrogen atom donors hydroquinone and TEMPOH (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol) as well as by PPh3. Notably, the peroxo complex VVO(O2) is much less reactive with these substrates than the analogous dioxo compd. VVO2. - 33(a) Liu, S.; Mase, K.; Bougher, C.; Hicks, S. D.; Abu-Omar, M.

(American Chemical Society)Efficient catalytic two-electron redn. of dioxygen (O2) by octamethylferrocene (Me8Fc) produced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using a high-valent chromium(V)-oxo corrole complex, [(tpfc)CrV(O)] (tpfc = tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole) as a catalyst precursor in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in acetonitrile (MeCN). The facile two-electron redn. of [(tpfc)CrV(O)] by 2 equiv of Me8Fc in the presence of excess TFA produced the corresponding chromium(III) corrole [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] via fast electron transfer from Me8Fc to [(tpfc)CrV(O)] followed by double protonation of [(tpfc)CrIV(O)]- and facile second-electron transfer from Me8Fc. The rate-detg. step in the catalytic two-electron redn. of O2 by Me8Fc in the presence of excess TFA is inner-sphere electron transfer from [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] to O2 to produce the chromium(IV) superoxo species [(tpfc)CrIV(O2•-)], followed by fast proton-coupled electron transfer redn. of [(tpfc)CrIV(O2•-)] by Me8Fc to yield H2O2, accompanied by regeneration of [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)]. Thus, although the catalytic two-electron redn. of O2 by Me8Fc was started by [(tpfc)CrV(O)], no regeneration of [(tpfc)CrV(O)] was obsd. in the presence of excess TFA, regardless of the tetragonal chromium complex being to the left of the oxo wall. In the presence of a stoichiometric amt. of TFA, however, disproportionation of [(tfpc)CrIV(O)]- occurred via the protonated species [(tpfc)CrIV(OH)] to produce [(tpfc)CrIII(OH2)] and [(tpfc)CrV(O)].(b) Premsingh, S.; Venkataramanan, N.

(American Chemical Society)The kinetics of oxidn. of 16 meta-, ortho-, and para-substituted anilines with nine oxo(salen)chromium(V) ions have been studied by spectrophotometric, ESIMS, and EPR techniques. During the course of the reaction, two new peaks with λmax at 470 and 730 nm appear in the absorption spectrum, and these peaks are due to the formation of emeraldine forms of oligomers of aniline supported by the ESIMS peaks with m/z values 274 and 365 (for the trimer and tetramer of aniline). The rate of the reaction is highly sensitive to the change of substituents in the aryl moiety of aniline and in the salen ligand of chromium(V) complexes. Application of the Hammett equation to analyze kinetic data yields a ρ value of -3.8 for the substituent variation in aniline and +2.2 for the substituent variation in the salen ligand of the metal complex. On the basis of the spectral, kinetic, and product anal. studies, a mechanism involving an electron transfer from the nitrogen of aniline to the metal complex in the rate controlling step has been proposed. The Marcus equation has been successfully applied to this system, and the calcd. values are compliant with the measured values. - 34Blakemore, J. D.; Crabtree, R. H.; Brudvig, G. W.

Evidence is provided for water being the source of evolved O2, and for the requirement of a high valent multinuclear Mn species for O2 evolution. We test the possibility of complications in the use of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in oxidn. chem. due to the presence of the oxidizable NH4+ ion.

(American Chemical Society)Photolysis of water, a long-studied strategy for storing solar energy, involves two half-reactions: the redn. of protons to dihydrogen and the oxidn. of water to dioxygen. Proton redn. is well-understood, with catalysts achieving quantum yields of 34% when driven by visible light. Water oxidn., on the other hand, is much less advanced, typically involving expensive metal centers and rarely working in conjunction with a photochem. powered system. Before further progress can be made in the field of water splitting, significant developments in the catalysis of oxygen evolution are needed. Herein the authors present an iron-centered tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (Fe-TAML) that efficiently catalyzes the oxidative conversion of water to dioxygen. When the catalyst is combined in unbuffered soln. with ceric ammonium nitrate, its turnover frequency exceeds 1.3 s-1. Real-time UV-vis and oxygen monitoring of the active complex give insights into the reaction and decay kinetics. - 38Brunschwig, B. S.; Chou, M. H.; Creutz, C.; Ghosh, P.; Sutin, N.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Work on the electronic structures of metal-oxo complexes began in Copenhagen over fifty years ago. This work led to the prediction that tetragonal multiply bonded transition metal-oxos would not be stable beyond the iron-ruthenium-osmium oxo wall in the periodic table, and that triply bonded metal-oxos could not be protonated, even in the strongest Bronsted acids. In this theory, only doubled bonded metal-oxos could attract protons, with basicities a function of the electron donating ability of ancillary ligands. Such correlations of electronic structure with reactivity have gained importance in recent years, most notably owing to the widespread recognition that high-valent iron-oxos are intermediates in biol. reactions crit. to life on Earth. In this Account we focus attention on the oxygenations of inert org. substrates by cytochromes P 450, as these reactions involve multiply bonded iron-oxos. We emphasize that P 450 iron-oxos are strong oxidants, so strong that they would destroy nearby amino acids if substrates are not oxygenated rapidly; it is our view that these high valent iron oxos are such dangerous reactive oxygen species that Nature surely found ways to disable them. Looking more deeply into this matter, mainly by examg. many thousands of structures in the protein data bank, we have found that P450s and other enzymes that require oxygen for function have chains of tyrosines and tryptophans that extend from active-site regions to protein surfaces. Tyrosines are near the heme active sites in bacterial P450s, whereas tryptophan is closest in most human enzymes. High-valent iron-oxo survival times taken from hole hopping maps range from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds, depending on the distance of the closest Trp or Tyr residue to the heme. In our proposed mechanism, multistep hole tunneling (hopping) through Tyr/Trp chains guides the damaging oxidizing hole to the protein surface, where it can be quenched by sol. protein or small mol. reductants. As the Earth's oxygenic atm. is believed to have developed about 2.5 billion years ago, the increase in occurrence frequency of tyrosine and tryptophan since the last universal evolutionary ancestor may be in part a consequence of enzyme protective functions that developed to cope with the environmental toxin - O2. - 41Holm, R.

(American Chemical Society)Terminal oxo complexes of the late transition metals Pt, Pd, and Au are reported by the authors in Science and Journal of the American Chem. Society. Despite thoroughness in characterizing these complexes (multiple independent structural methods and up to 17 anal. methods in one case), the authors have continued to study these structures. Initial work on these systems was motivated by structural data from x-ray crystallog. and neutron diffraction and 17O and 31P NMR signatures which all indicated differences from all previously published compds. With significant new data, the authors now revisit these studies. New x-ray crystal structures of previously reported complexes K14[P2W19O69(OH2)] and K10Na3[PdIV(O)(OH)WO(OH2)(PW9O34)2] and a closer examn. of these structures are provided.

These and considerable other data collectively indicate that previously assigned terminal Pt-oxo and Au-oxo complexes are in fact cocrystals of the all-tungsten structural analogs with noble metal cations, while the Pd-oxo complex is a disordered Pd(II)-substituted polyoxometalate. The neutron diffraction data were re-analyzed, and new refinements are fully consistent with the all-tungsten formulations of the Pt-oxo and Au-oxo polyoxometalate species. - 43Stull, J.

(American Chemical Society)The Ru blue dimer [(bpy)2Ru(OH2)]2O4+-the 1st well-defined mol. complex able to catalyze H2O oxidn. at low overpotentials-was the subject of numerous exptl. and computational studies. However, elements of the reaction mechanism remain controversial. Of particular interest is the nature of the O-O bond-forming step. Herein, the authors report the 1st advanced EPR spectroscopic studies of a high-valent intermediate that appears under conditions in which the catalyst is actively turning over. Results from previous studies suggested that this intermediate is derived from [(bpy)2RuV(O)]2O4+, denoted {5,5}. Under photooxidizing conditions, the corresponding EPR signal disappears at a rate comparable to the turnover rate of the catalyst once the illumination source is removed. The electronic and geometric structures of this species were explored using a variety of EPR techniques. Continuous wave (CW) EPR spectroscopy was used to probe the hyperfine coupling of the Ru ions, while corresponding ligand 14N hyperfine couplings were characterized with electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy (HYSCORE) methods. Finally, 1H/2H ENDOR was performed to monitor any exchangeable protons. The authors' studies strongly suggest that the accumulating transient is an S = 1/2 species. This spin state formulation of the so-called {5,5} species is consistent with only a limited no. of electronic structures, each of which is discussed. Notably, the obsd. large metal hyperfine coupling indicates that the orbital carrying the unpaired spin has significant ruthenyl-oxyl character, contrary to an earlier electronic structure description that had tentatively assigned the signal to formation of a bipyridine ligand radical. - 44(a) Gajhede, M.; Schuller, D.

(Nature America)The crystal structure of horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme C (I) was solved to 2.15 Å resoln. An important feature unique to the class III peroxidases is a long insertion, 34 residues in I, between helixes F and G. This region, which defines part of the substrate access channel, is not present in the core conserved fold typical of peroxidases from classes I and II. Comparison of I and peanut peroxidase (II), the only other class III (higher plant) peroxidase for which an x-ray structure has been completed, reveals that the structure in this region is highly variable even within class III. For peroxidases of the I type, characterized by a larger FG insertion (7 residues relative to II) and a shorter F' helix, the authors identified the key residue involved in direct interactions with arom. donor mols. I is unique in having a ring of 3 peripheral Phe residues, 142, 68, and 179. These guard the entrance to the exposed heme edge. The authors predict that this arom. region is important for the ability of I to bind arom. substrates.(b) Rodríguez-López, J. N.; Lowe, D. J.; Hernández-Ruiz, J.; Hiner, A. N.

(American Chemical Society)The mechanism of the reaction of horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme C (HRPC) with H2O2 to form reactive enzyme intermediate compd. I was studied using electronic absorbance, rapid-scan stopped-flow, and ESR spectroscopies at both acid and basic pH. The roles of active site residues His-42 and Arg-38 in controlling heterolytic cleavage of the H2O2 O-O bond were probed with site-directed mutant enzymes H42L, R38L, and R38G. The biphasic reaction kinetics of H42L with H2O2 suggested the presence of an intermediate species and, at acid pH, a reversible 2nd step, probably due to a neutral enzyme-H2O2 complex and the ferric-peroxoanion-contg. compd. 0. ESR also indicated the formation of a protein radical situated more than ∼10 Å from the heme Fe. The stoichiometry of the reaction of the H42L/H2O2 reaction product and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazolinesulfonic acid) (ABTS) was concn.-dependent and fell from a value of 2 to 1 above 0.7 mM ABTS. These data could be explained if H2O2 underwent homolytic cleavage in H42L. The apparent rate of compd. I formation by H42L, while low, was pH-independent in contrast to wild-type HRPC where the rate fell at acid pH, indicating the involvement of an ionizable group with pKa of ∼4. In R38L and R38G, the apparent pKa was shifted to ∼8, but there was no evidence that homolytic cleavage of H2O2 occurred. These data suggest that His-42 acts initially as a proton acceptor (base catalyst) and then as a donor (acid catalyst) at neutral pH and predict the obsd. slower rate and lower efficiency of heterolytic cleavage obsd. at acid pH. Arg-38 was influential in lowering the pKa of His-42 and addnl. in aligning H2O2 in the active site, but it did not play a direct role in proton transfer. - 45(a) Dubey, K. D.; Shaik, S.

CYP450 is a nanomachine that uses dioxygen and two reducing and two proton equivalents to oxidize a plethora of molecules (so-called substrates) as a means of supplying bio-organisms with essential molecules (e.g., brain neurotransmitters, sex hormones, etc.) and protecting biosystems against poisoning. An enticing property of CYP450s is that entrance of an oxidizable substrate into the active site initiates a series of events that constitute the catalytic cycle, which functions "automatically" in a regulated sequence of events culminating in the production of the oxidized substrates (e.g., hydroxylated, epoxidized, etc.), oftentimes with remarkable stereo- and regioselectivities. It is timely to demonstrate how theory uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) calculations to complement experiments and elucidate the choreography by which the protein regulates the catalytic cycle. CYP450 is a heme enzyme that contains a ferric ion (Fe(III)) coordinated by a porphyrin ligand, a water molecule, and a cysteinate ligand that is provided by a strategic residue of the encapsulating protein. While many of the individual steps are sufficiently well-understood, we shall provide here an overview of the factors that cause all of the steps to be sequentially coordinated. To this end, we use examples from three different CYP450 enzymes: the bacterial ones CYP450BM3 and CYP450CAM and the mammalian enzyme CYP4503A4. The treatment is limited to the catalytic cycle, as aspects of two-state reactivity were reviewed previously (e.g., Shaik , S. ; et al. Chem. Rev. 2005 , 105 , 2279 ). What are the principles that govern the seeming automatic feature? For example, how do substrate entrance and binding gate the enzyme? How does the reductase attachment to the enzyme affect the next steps? What triggers the attachment of the reductase? How does the electron transfer (ET) that converts Fe(III) to Fe(II) occur? Is the ET coordinated with the entrance of O2 into the active site? What is the mechanism of the latter step? Since the entrance of the substrate expels the water molecules from the active site, how do water molecules re-enter to form a proton channel, which is necessary for creating the ultimate oxidant Compound I? How do mutations that disrupt the water channel nevertheless create a competent oxidant? By what means does the enzyme produce regio- and stereoselective oxidation products? What triggers the departure of the oxidized product, and how does the exit occur in a manner that generates the resting state ready for the next cycle? This Account shows that the entrance of the substrate triggers all of the ensuing events.(b) Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. Hydrocarbon Hydroxylation by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes. Chem.

(American Chemical Society)The Fe(II)- and α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenases have roles in synthesis of collagen and sensing of oxygen in mammals, in acquisition of nutrients and synthesis of antibiotics in microbes, and in repair of alkylated DNA in both. A consensus mechanism for these enzymes, involving (i) addn. of O2 to a five-coordinate, (His)2(Asp)-facially coordinated Fe(II) center to which αKG is also bound via its C-1 carboxylate and ketone oxygen; (ii) attack of the uncoordinated oxygen of the bound O2 on the ketone carbonyl of αKG to form a bicyclic Fe(IV)-peroxyhemiketal complex; (iii) decarboxylation of this complex concomitantly with formation of an oxo-ferryl (Fe(IV):O2-) intermediate; and (iv) hydroxylation of the substrate by the Fe(IV):O2- complex via a substrate radical intermediate, has repeatedly been proposed, but none of the postulated intermediates occurring after addn. of O2 has ever been detected. An oxidized Fe intermediate in the reaction of one of these enzymes, taurine/α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD) from Escherichia coli, has been directly demonstrated by rapid kinetic and spectroscopic methods. Characterization of the intermediate and its one-electron-reduced form (obtained by low-temp. γ-radiolysis of the trapped intermediate) by Moessbauer and ESR spectroscopies establishes that it is a high-spin, formally Fe(IV) complex. Its Moessbauer isomer shift is, however, significantly greater than those of other known Fe(IV) complexes, suggesting that the iron ligands in the TauD intermediate confer significant Fe(III) character to the high-valent site by strong electron donation. The properties of the complex and previous results on related αKG-dependent dioxygenases and other nonheme-Fe(II)-dependent, O2-activating enzymes suggest that the TauD intermediate is most probably either the Fe(IV)-peroxyhemiketal complex or the taurine-hydroxylating Fe(IV):O2- species. The detection of this intermediate sets the stage for a more detailed dissection of the TauD reaction mechanism than has previously been reported for any other member of this important enzyme family. - 47Rohde, J.-U.; In, J.-H.; Lim, M.

Its high-resoln. crystal structure reveals an iron-oxygen bond length of 1.646(3) angstroms, demonstrating that a terminal iron(IV)=oxo unit can exist in a nonporphyrin ligand environment and lending credence to proposed mechanisms of nonheme iron catalysis.

Understanding the mechanisms of dioxygen activation at the metal centers is important for unraveling the mechanisms of metal-contg. oxidases and oxygenases, synthesizing new selective oxidn. catalysts and new drugs analogous to bleomycin, and suppressing free radical pathways of oxidative damage in biol. systems. Dioxygen-binding and -activating biomols. with nonheme iron centers include a unique glycopeptide antibiotic bleomycin and numerous proteins, which are generally grouped into two large families: mononuclear (having only one iron at the active site) and dinuclear (having two proximate irons connected by bridging ligands at the active site). Bleomycin and nonheme iron enzymes are briefly introduced. The only nonheme iron dioxygen carrier, hemerythrin, is considered in some detail. General aspects of model chem. are introduced, followed by detailed sections on the kinetics and mechanisms of dioxygen binding and activation with mono- and dinuclear nonheme iron complexes and related reactions. The last section of this review is devoted to issues of kinetic methodol. specific for dioxygen-binding studies.(b) Abu-Omar, M. M.; Loaiza, A.; Hontzeas, N.

Definitive differences of these two CrV(O) complexes were obsd. in resonance Raman scatterings of the Cr-O bond (ν = 911 cm-1 for 1 and 951 cm-1 for 2) and the redn. potential (0.73 V vs SCE for 1 and 1.23 V for 2); this difference should be derived from that of the ligand bound at the trans position to the oxo ligand, a tertiary amino group in 1, and a pyridine nitrogen in 2.

Characterization of 1 was achieved using ESI-MS spectrometry, ESR, UV-visible, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. The redn. potential (Ered) of 1 is 1.23 V vs. SCE in acetonitrile based on anal. of the electron-transfer (ET) equil. between 1 and a one-electron donor, [RuII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). The reorganization energy (λ) of 1 also is 1.03 eV in ET reactions from phenol derivs. to 1 on the basis of the Marcus theory of ET. The smaller λ value in comparison with that of an Fe(IV)-oxo complex (2.37 eV) is caused by the small structural change during ET due to the dπ character of the electron-accepting LUMO of 1. When benzyl alc. derivs. (R-BA) with different oxidn. potentials were employed as substrates, corresponding aldehydes were obtained as the 2e--oxidized products in moderate yields as detd. from 1H NMR and GC-MS measurements. One-step UV-visible spectral changes were obsd. in the oxidn. reactions of BA derivs. by 1 and a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) was obsd. in the oxidn. reactions for deuterated BA derivs. at the benzylic position as substrates. The rate-limiting step is a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from substrate to 1. In sharp contrast, in the oxidn. of trimethoxy-BA (Eox = 1.22 V) by 1, trimethoxy-BA radical cation was obsd. by UV-visible spectroscopy. Thus, the mechanism of the oxidn. reaction changed from one-step PCET to stepwise ET-proton transfer (ET/PT), depending on the redox potentials of R-BA.(c) Cho, J.; Woo, J.; Eun Han, J.; Kubo, M.; Ogura, T.; Nam, W.

The present results provide strong evidence that under certain circumstances, metal-superoxo species can be an alternative oxidant for high-valent metal-oxo complexes in oxygenation reactions. - 50(a) Mandimutsira, B.

The ruthenium-oxo complexes have served as ideal species to elucidate the characteristics of metal-oxo complexes in terms of not only geometrical and electronic structures but also oxidn. reactivity and mechanisms of oxidn. reactions. Due to the high stability and excellent reversibility of redox processes, ruthenium-oxo complexes provided significant mechanistic insights into the oxidn. of org. compds. including alcs., alkenes, and alkanes and also water from detailed kinetic anal.

(American Chemical Society)We describe herein the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT)/proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reactivity for FeIV-oxo and FeIII-oxo complexes (1-4) that activate C-H, N-H, and O-H bonds in 9,10-dihydroanthracene (S1), DMF (S2), 1,2-diphenylhydrazine (S3), p-methoxyphenol (S4), and 1,4-cyclohexadiene (S5). In 1-3, the iron is pentacoordinated by tris-[N'-tert-butylureaylato-N-ethylene]-aminato ([H3buea]3) or its derivs. These complexes are basic, in the order 3 » 1 > 2. Oxidant 4, [FeIVN4Py-(O)]2+ (N4Py: N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-bis-(2-pyridyl)-methylamine), is the least basic oxidant. The DFT results match exptl. trends and exhibit a mechanistic spectrum ranging from concerted HAT and PCET reactions to concerted-asynchronous proton transfer (PT)/electron transfer (ET) mechanisms, all the way to PT. The singly occupied orbital along the O···H···X (X = C, N, O) moiety in the TS shows clearly that in the PCET cases, the electron is transferred sep. from the proton. The Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle does not account for the obsd. reactivity pattern, as evidenced by the scatter in the plot of calcd. barrier vs reactions driving forces. However, a plot of the deformation energy in the TS vs the resp. barrier provides a clear signature of the HAT/PCET dichotomy. Thus, in all C-H bond activations, the barrier derives from the deformation energy required to create the TS, whereas in N-H/O-H bond activations, the deformation energy is much larger than the corresponding barrier, indicating the presence of a stabilizing interaction between the TS fragments. A valence bond model is used to link the obsd. results with the basicity/acidity of the reactants. - 55(a) Ohzu, S.; Ishizuka, T.; Hirai, Y.; Jiang, H.; Sakaguchi, M.; Ogura, T.; Fukuzumi, S.; Kojima, T.

The aqua-complexes 1-3 catalyzed oxidn. of alcs. and olefins using (NH4)2[CeIV(NO3)6] (CAN) as an electron-transfer oxidant in acidic aq. solns.

The oxo complexes 4-6 exhibited no significant difference in the reactivity for the oxidn. reactions, judging from the similar catalytic rates and the activation parameters. The slight difference obsd. in the reaction rates can be accounted for by the difference in the redn. potentials of the oxo-complexes, but the spin states of the oxo-complexes have hardly affected the reactivity. The activation parameters and the kinetic isotope effects (KIE) obsd. for the oxidn. reactions of methanol indicate that the oxidn. reactions of alcs. with the RuIV:O complexes proceed via a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism.(b) Kojima, T.; Hirai, Y.; Ishizuka, T.; Shiota, Y.; Yoshizawa, K.; Ikemura, K.; Ogura, T.; Fukuzumi, S.

KGaA)Based on recent X-ray structures of the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II, quantum chem. geometry optimizations of several thousand structures have been performed in order to elucidate the mechanism for dioxygen formation. Many of the results of these calcns. have been presented previously. The energetically most stable structure of the S4 state has been used in the present study to investigate essentially all the possible ways the O-O bond can be formed in this structure. A key feature, emphasized previously, of the S4 state is that an oxygen radical ligand is present rather than an MnV state. Previous studies have indicated that this oxygen radical can form an O-O bond by an attack from a water mol. in the second coordination shell. The present systematic investigation has led to a new type of mechanism that is significantly favored over the previous one. A calcd. transition-state barrier of 12.5 kcal mol-1 was found for this mechanism, whereas the best previous results gave 18-20 kcal mol-1. A requirement on the spin alignment for a low barrier is formulated.

(American Chemical Society)Oxygenase reactivity toward selective partial oxidn. of CH4 to CH3OH requires an at. oxygen-radical bound to metal (M-O•: oxyl intermediate) that is capable of abstracting an H atom from the significantly strong C-H bond in CH4. Because such a reaction is frequently obsd. in metal-doped zeolites, it has been recognized that the zeolite provides an environment that stabilizes the M-O• intermediate. However, no exptl. data of M-O• have so far been discovered in the zeolite; thus, little is known about the correlation among the state of M-O•, its reactivity for CH4, and the nature of the zeolite environment. Here, we report a combined spectroscopic and computational study of the room-temp. activation of CH4 over ZnII-O• in the MFI zeolite. One ZnII-O• species does perform H-abstraction from CH4 at room temp. The resultant CH•3 species reacts with the other ZnII-O• site to form the ZnII-OCH3 species. The H2O-assisted extn. of surface methoxide yields 29 μmol g-1 of CH3OH with a 94% selectivity. The quantum mechanics (QM)/mol. mechanics (MM) calcn. detd. the central step as the oxyl-mediated hydrogen atom transfer which requires an activation energy of only 10 kJ mol-1. On the basis of the findings in gas-phase expts. regarding the CH4 activation by the free [M-O•]+ species, the remarkable H-abstraction reactivity of the ZnII-O• species in zeolites was totally rationalized. Addnl., the exptl. validated QM/MM calcn. revealed that the zeolite lattice has potential as the ligand to enhance the polarization of the M-O• bond and thereby enables to create effectively the highly reactive M-O• bond required for low-temp. activation of CH4. The present study proposes that tuning of the polarization effect of the anchoring site over heterogeneous catalysts is the valuable way to create the oxyl-based functionality on the heterogeneous catalyst. - 59(a) Kobayashi, K.; Ohtsu, H.; Wada, T.; Kato, T.; Tanaka, K.

(American Chemical Society)Tanaka and co-workers reported a novel dinuclear Ru complex, [Ru2(OH)2(3,6-Bu2Q)2(btpyan)](SbF6)2 (3,6-Bu2Q = 3,6-ditert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone, btpyan = 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene), that contains redox active quinone ligands and has an excellent electrocatalytic activity for H2O oxidn. when immobilized on an In-Sn-oxide electrode (Inorg. Chem., 2001, 40, 329-337). The novel features of the dinuclear and related mononuclear Ru species with quinone ligands, and comparison of their properties to those of the Ru analogs with the bpy ligand (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) replacing quinone, are summarized here together with new theor. and exptl. results that show striking features for both the dinuclear and mononuclear species. The identity and oxidn. state of key mononuclear species, including the previously reported oxyl radical, were reassigned. The gas-phase theor. calcns. indicate that the Tanaka Ru-dinuclear catalyst seems to maintain predominantly Ru(II) centers while the quinone ligands and H2O moiety are involved in redox reactions throughout the entire catalytic cycle for H2O oxidn. The theor. study identifies [Ru2(O2-)(Q-1.5)2(btpyan)] as a key intermediate and the most reduced catalyst species that is formed by removal of all 4 protons before 4-electron oxidn. takes place. While the study toward understanding the complicated electronic and geometric structures of possible intermediates in the catalytic cycle is still in progress, the current status and new directions for kinetic and mechanistic studies, and key issues and challenges in H2O oxidn. with the Tanaka catalyst (and its analogs with Cl- or NO2-substituted quinones and a species with a xanthene bridge instead an anthracene) are discussed.(d) Wada, T.; Muckerman, J.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The bridging ligand, 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene (btpyan) was synthesized by the Miyaura-Suzuki cross coupling reaction of anthracenyl-1,8-diboronic acid and 4'-triflyl-2,2':6'-2''-terpyridine in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 (5 mol%) with 68% in yield. Three ruthenium-dioxolene dimers, [Ru2(OH)2(dioxolene)2(btpyan)]0 (dioxolene = 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([1]0), 3,5-dichloro-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([2]0) and 4-nitro-1,2-benzosemiquinone ([3]0)) were prepd. by the reaction of [Ru2Cl6(btpyan)]0 with the corresponding catechol. The electronic structure of [1]0 is approximated by [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 (sq = semiquinonato). On the other hand, the electronic states of [2]0 and [3]0 are close to [RuIII2(OH)2 (cat)2(btpyan)]0 (cat = catecholato), indicating that a dioxolene having electron-withdrawing groups stabilizes [RuIII2(OH)2(cat)2(btpyan)]0 rather than [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 as resonance isomers. No sign was found of deprotonation of the hydroxo groups of [1]0, whereas [2]0 and [3]0 showed an acid-base equil. in treatments with t-BuOLi followed by HClO4. Furthermore, controlled potential electrolysis of [1]0 deposited on an ITO (indium-tin oxide) electrode catalyzed the four-electron oxidn. of H2O to evolve O2 at potentials more pos. than +1.6 V (vs. SCE) at pH 4.0. On the other hand, the electrolysis of [2]0 and [3]0 deposited on ITO electrodes did not show catalytic activity for water oxidn. under similar conditions. Such a difference in the reactivity among [1]0, [2]0 and [3]0 is ascribed to the shift of the resonance equil. between [RuII2(OH)2(sq)2(btpyan)]0 and [RuIII2(OH)2(cat)2(btpyan)]0.(e) Tanaka, K.; Isobe, H.; Yamanaka, S.; Yamaguchi, K.

BS DFT computations for the Ru complexes have elucidated that the closed-shell structure (2b) Ru(II)-Q complex is less stable than the open-shell structure (2bb) consisting of Ru(III) and semiquinone (SQ) radical fragments. These computations have also elucidated eight different electronic and spin structures of tetraradical intermediates that may be generated in the course of water splitting reaction.

Six J values have been detd. using total energies of the eight (or seven) BS solns. for different spin configurations. The natural orbital analyses of these BS DFT solns. have also been performed in order to obtain natural orbitals and their occupation nos., which are useful for the lucid understanding of the nature of chem. bonds of the Ru complexes.

Water oxidn., in which two water mols. undergo the coupled loss of four electrons and four protons to form an O-O bond, is one of the most appealing target reactions for mol. catalysts in view of hydrogen prodn. by electrolytic or photolytic water splitting to cope with urgent energy and environmental problems. Inspired by a natural oxygen-evolving multinuclear manganese cluster, a no. of water oxidn. catalysts based on multinuclear transition-metal complexes have been developed over the last three decades. In recent years, in parallel with the discovery of mononuclear oxygen-evolving complexes, both exptl. and theor. studies have yielded important insight into O-O bond-formation pathways in these water-oxidizing complexes. In this microreview, we will present an updated view of selected current literature focusing on the working mechanism of ruthenium-based water oxidn. catalysts and on the development of rationally designed ruthenium complexes that activate water at mild potentials. - 61Wada, T.; Tsuge, K.; Tanaka, K.

(American Chemical Society)The initial step of photocatalytic water oxidn. reaction at the metal oxide/aq. interface involves intermediates formed by trapping photogenerated, valence band holes on different reactive sites of the oxide surface. In SrTiO3, these one-electron intermediates are radicals located in Ti-O• (oxyl) and Ti-O•-Ti (bridge) groups arranged perpendicular and parallel to the surface resp., and form electronic states in the band gap of SrTiO3. Using an ultrafast sub band gap probe of 400 nm and white light, we excited transitions between these radical states and the conduction band. By measuring the time evolution of surface reflectivity following the pump pulse of 266 nm light, we detd. an initial radical formation time of 1.3 ± 0.2 ps, which is identical to the time to populate the surface with titanium oxyl (Ti-O•) radicals. The oxyl was sep. obsd. by a subsurface vibration near 800 cm-1 from Ti-O located in the plane right below Ti-O•. Second, a polarized transition optical dipole allows us to assign the 1.3 ps time const. to the prodn. of both O-site radicals. After a 4.5 ps delay, another distinct surface species forms with a time const. of 36 ± 10 ps with a yet undetd. structure. As would be expected, the radicals' decay, specifically probed by the oxyl's subsurface vibration, parallels that of the photocurrent. These results led us to propose a nonadiabatic kinetic mechanism for generating radicals of the type Ti-O• and Ti-O•-Ti from valence band holes based on their solvation at aq. interfaces.(b) Herlihy, D.

(Nature Publishing Group)A subsurface vibration of the oxygen directly below, and uniquely generated by, the oxyl radical (Ti-O•), has been detected using theor. calcns. and ultrafast in situ IR spectra of photocatalysis at an n-SrTiO3/aq. interface. This interfacial Ti-O stretch vibration, once decoupled from the lattice, couples to reactant dynamics (water librations). These expts. demonstrate subsurface vibrations and their coupling to solvent and electron dynamics to detect nascent catalytic intermediates at the solid-liq. interface at the mol. level. One can envision using the subsurface vibrations and their coupling across the interface to track and control catalysis dynamically. - 69Corona, T.; Pfaff, F.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

This compd. is only detectable at temps. below 250 K and is much more reactive toward org. substrates (i.e., C-H bonds, C-C bonds, and sulfides) than previously reported well-defined nickel-oxygen species. Remarkably, this species is formed by heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of a Ni-HmCPBA precursor, which is concluded from exptl. and computational data. On the basis of spectroscopy and DFT calcns., this reactive species is proposed to be a NiIII-oxyl compd.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The CuO+ core is a central motif of reactive intermediates in copper-catalyzed oxidns. occurring in nature. The high reactivity of CuO+ stems from a weak bonding between the atoms, which cannot be described by a simple classical model. To obtain the correct picture, we have investigated the acetonitrile-ligated CuO+ ion using neon-tagging photodissocn. spectroscopy at 5 K. The spectra feature complex vibronic absorption progressions in NIR and visible regions. Employing Franck-Condon analyses, we derived low-lying triplet potential energy surfaces that were further correlated with multireference calcns. This provided insight into the ground and low-lying excited electronic states of the CuO+ unit and elucidated how these states are perturbed by the change in ligation. Thus, we show that the bare CuO+ ion has prevailingly a copper(I)-biradical oxygen character. Increasing the no. of ligands coordinated to copper changes the CuO+ character towards the copper(II)-oxyl radical structure.

The geometry of a RuIII complex having a nonthree-fold-sym. TPA ligand bearing one dimethylnicotinamide moiety was detd. to show that the nicotine moiety resides trans to a pyridine group, but not to the chloride ligand. The substituents of the TPA ligands regulate the redox potential of the Ru center, as indicated by a linear Hammett plot in the range of 200 mV for RuIII/RuIV couples with a relatively large ρ value (+0.150). These complexes act as effective catalysts for alkane functionalization in MeCN with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) as terminal oxidant at room temp. They exhibited fairly good reactivity for oxidn. of cyclohexane (C-H bond energy 94 kcal mol-1), and the reactivity can be altered significantly by the electronic effects of substituents on TPA ligands in terms of initial rates and turnover nos. Catalytic oxygenation of cyclohexane by a RuIII complex with 16O-mCPBA in the presence of H218O gave 18O-labeled cyclohexanol with 100% inclusion of the 18O atom from the H2O mol. Resonance Raman spectra under catalytic conditions without the substrate indicate formation of a RuIV = O intermediate with lower bonding energy. Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in the oxidn. of cyclohexane suggest that H abstraction is the rate-detg. step and the KIE values depend on the substituents of the TPA ligands. Thus, the reaction mechanism of catalytic cyclohexane oxygenation depends on the electronic effects of the ligands.

(National Academy of Sciences)Water oxidn. is the key half reaction in artificial photosynthesis. An absence of detailed mechanistic insight impedes design of new catalysts that are more reactive and more robust. A proposed paradigm leading to enhanced reactivity is the existence of oxyl radical intermediates capable of rapid water activation, but there is a dearth of exptl. validation. Here, we show the radicaloid nature of an intermediate reactive toward formation of the O-O bond by assessing the spin d. on the oxyl group by ESR. In the study, an 17O-labeled form of a highly oxidized, short-lived intermediate in the catalytic cycle of the water oxidn. catalyst cis,cis-[(2,2-bipyridine)2(H2O)RuIIIORuIII(OH2)(bpy)2]4+ was investigated. It contains Ru centers in oxidn. states [4,5], has at least one RuV = O unit, and shows |Axx| = 60G 17O hyperfine splittings (hfs) consistent with the high spin d. of a radicaloid. Destabilization of pi-bonding in the d3 RuV = O fragment is responsible for the high spin d. on the oxygen and its high reactivity.

First of all, our previous broken-symmetry (BS) MOs (MO) calcns. are reviewed to elucidate the instability of the dπ-pπ bond in high-valent (HV) Mn(X)=O systems and the dπ-pπ-dπ bond in HV Mn=O=Mn systems. The triplet instability of these bonds entails strong or intermediate diradical characters: ·Mn(IV)=O·and ·n-O-Mn· the BS MO resulted from strong electron correlation, leading to the concept of electron localizations and local spins. The BS computations have furthermore revealed guiding principles for derivation of selection rules for radical reactions of local spins. As a continuation of these theor. results, the BS MO interaction diagrams for oxygen-radical coupling reactions in the oxygen evolution complex (OEC) in the PSII have been depicted to reveal scope and applicability of local singlet diradical (LSD) and local triplet diradical (LTD) mechanisms that have been successfully utilized for theor. understanding of oxygenation reactions mechanisms by P 450 and methane monooxygenase (MMO). The manganese-oxide cluster models examd. are London, Berlin, and Berkeley models of CaMn4O4 and related clusters Mn4O4 and Mn3Ca. The BS MO interaction diagrams have revealed the LSD and/or LTD mechanisms for generation of mol. oxygen in the total low-, intermediate and high-spin states of these clusters. The spin alignments are found directly corresponding to the spin-coupling mechanisms of oxygen-radical sites in these clusters. The BS UB3LYP calcns. of the clusters have been performed to confirm the comprehensive guiding principles for oxygen evolution; charge and spin densities by BS UB3LYP are utilized for elucidation and confirmation of the LSD and LTD mechanisms. Applicability of the proposed selection rules are examd. in comparison with a lot of accumulated exptl. and theor. results for oxygen evolution reactions in native and artificial PSII systems.

M.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (2015), 17 (18), 12168-12174CODEN: PPCPFQ; ISSN:1463-9076. (Royal Society of Chemistry)In a previous detailed study of all the steps of water oxidn. in photosystem II, it was surprisingly found that O2 release is as crit. for the rate as O-O bond formation. A new mechanism for O2 release has now been found, which can be described as an opening followed by a closing of the interior of the oxygen evolving complex. A transition state for peroxide rotation forming a superoxide radical, missed in the previous study, and a structural change around the outside manganese are two key steps in the new mechanism. However, O2 release may still remain rate-limiting. Addnl., for the step forming the O-O bond, an alternative, exptl. suggested, mechanism was investigated. The new model calcns. can rule out the precise use of that mechanism. However, a variant with a rotation of the ligands around the outer manganese by about 30° will give a low barrier, competitive with the old DFT mechanism. Both these mechanisms use an oxyl-oxo mechanism for O-O bond formation involving the same two manganese atoms and the central oxo group (O5).(b) Siegbahn, P. E. M.

(National Academy of Sciences)Two different types of mechanisms are at present suggested for the O-O bond-formation step in photosystem II. The first one is a coupling between an oxyl radical and a bridging oxo. The second one is a nucleophilic water attack on a terminal oxo (or oxyl) group. In the present short paper, the six most reasonable versions of the latter mechanism have been studied and compared with the oxo-oxyl mechanism. The barriers are found to be much too high for the water attack, and that mechanism can therefore safely be ruled out. The reason is that the protonated peroxide product is always very high in energy.

(American Chemical Society)This paper investigates the mechanism of water splitting in photosystem II (PSII) as described by chem. sensible models of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in the S0-S4 states. The reaction is the paradigm for engineering direct solar fuel prodn. systems since it is driven by solar light and the catalyst involves inexpensive and abundant metals (calcium and manganese). Mol. models of the OEC Mn3CaO4Mn catalytic cluster are constructed by explicitly considering the perturbational influence of the surrounding protein environment according to state-of-the-art quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid methods, in conjunction with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) structure of PSII from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus. The resulting models are validated through direct comparisons with high-resoln. extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopic data. Structures of the S3, S4, and S0 states include an addnl. μ-oxo bridge between Mn(3) and Mn(4), not present in XRD structures, found to be essential for the deprotonation of substrate water mols. The structures of reaction intermediates suggest a detailed mechanism of dioxygen evolution based on changes in oxidization and protonation states and structural rearrangements of the oxomanganese cluster and surrounding water mols. The catalytic reaction is consistent with substrate water mols. coordinated as terminal ligands to Mn(4) and calcium and requires the formation of an oxyl radical by deprotonation of the substrate water mol. ligated to Mn(4) and the accumulation of four oxidizing equiv. The oxyl radical is susceptible to nucleophilic attack by a substrate water mol. initially coordinated to calcium and activated by two basic species, including CP43-R357 and the μ-oxo bridge between Mn(3) and Mn(4). The reaction is concerted with water ligand exchange, swapping the activated water by a water mol. in the second coordination shell of calcium. - 79Crandell, D. W.; Xu, S.; Smith, J. M.; Baik, M.-H.

(American Chemical Society)The mechanism of water oxidn. performed by a recently discovered manganese pyridinophane catalyst [Mn(Py2NtBu2)(H2O)2]2+ is studied using d. functional theory methods. A complete catalytic cycle is constructed and the catalytically active species is identified to consist of a MnV-bis(oxo) moiety that is generated from the resting state by a series of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. Whereas the electronic ground state of this key intermediate is found to be a triplet, the most favorable pathway for O-O bond formation is found on the quintet potential energy surface and involves an intramol. coupling of two oxyl radicals with opposite spins bound to the Mn-center that adopts an electronic structure most consistent formally with a high-spin MnIII ion. Therefore, the thermally accessible high-spin quintet state that constitutes a typical and innate property of a first-row transition metal center plays a crit. role for catalysis. It enables facile electron transfer between the oxo moieties and the Mn-center and promotes O-O bond formation via a radical coupling reaction with a calcd. reaction barrier of only 14.7 kcal mol-1. This mechanism of O-O coupling is unprecedented and provides a novel possible pathway to coupling two oxygen atoms bound to a single metal site. - 80Ashley, D. C.; Baik, M.-H.

(American Chemical Society)MnV=O functionalities are important in synthetic and bioinorg. chem., being relevant to both C-H activation and the O-O bond formation steps in enzymic water oxidn., for example. The triplet and quintet spin states are believed to be active in these reactions, but they have only been sparingly characterized exptl. D. functional theory (DFT) gives varying results, depending on the exchange-correlation functional employed, leading to ambiguity about whether the triplet MnV=O is better represented as MnIV-O•. While recent CASPT2 studies confirmed that the MnIV-O• character is exaggerated by hybrid functionals, questions still remain about the nature of this bonding. Using high-level wave function methods, the authors studied the fundamental relation between the spin polarization, diradical character, and the phys. oxidn. state assignments. In terms of formal oxidn. assignment, these species are best described as being between the MnV=O and MnIV-O• extremes. While the extent of the oxyl radical character is exaggerated in B3LYP, it is significantly underestimated by local functionals. The authors also exploited the DFT-functional dependence of the oxyl radical character to examine its effect on O-O bond formation barrier heights and concluded that, although, for radical combination reactions, the oxyl character is a significant effect, for nucleophilic water attack reactions, the effect is much smaller and is likely not a requisite feature. - 81Leto, D.

(American Chemical Society)The mononuclear Mn(IV)-oxo complex [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+, where N4py is the pentadentate ligand N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-bis(2-pyridyl)methylamine, was proposed to attack C-H bonds by an excited-state reactivity pattern. In this model, a 4E excited state is used to provide a lower-energy barrier for hydrogen-atom transfer. This proposal is intriguing, as it offers both a rationale for the relatively high hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity of [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+ and a guideline for creating more reactive complexes through ligand modification.

C-term MCD signals, the authors unambiguously assign a low-energy MCD feature of [MnIV(O)(N4py)]2+ as the 4E excited state predicted to be involved in hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity. The CASSCF calcns. predict enhanced MnIII-oxyl character on the excited-state 4E surface, consistent with previous DFT calcns. Potential-energy surfaces, developed using the CASSCF methods, are used to det. how the energies and wave functions of the ground and excited states evolved as a function of Mn=O distance. The unique insights into ground- and excited-state electronic structure offered by these spectroscopic and computational studies are harmonized with a thermodn. model of hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity, which predicts a correlation between transition-state barriers and driving force. - 82(a) Cook, S.

S.Accounts of Chemical Research (2015), 48 (8), 2407-2414CODEN: ACHRE4; ISSN:0001-4842. (American Chemical Society)A review. The functions of metal complexes are directly linked to the local environment in which they are housed; modifications to the local environment (or secondary coordination sphere) are known to produce changes in key properties of the metal centers that can affect reactivity. Noncovalent interactions are the most common and influential forces that regulate the properties of secondary coordination spheres, which leads to complexities in structure that are often difficult to achieve in synthetic systems. Using key architectural features from the active sites of metalloproteins as inspiration, the authors have developed mol. systems that enforce intramol. H bonds (H-bonds) around a metal center via incorporation of H-bond donors and acceptors into rigid ligand scaffolds. The authors used these mol. species to probe mechanistic aspects of biol. dioxygen activation and H2O oxidn. This Account describes the stabilization and characterization of unusual M-oxo and heterobimetallic complexes. These types of species were implicated in a range of oxidative processes in biol. but are often difficult to study because of their inherent reactivity. The authors' H-bonding ligand systems allowed the authors to prep. an FeIII-oxo species directly from the activation of O2 that was subsequently oxidized to form a monomeric FeIV-oxo species with an S = 2 spin state, similar to those species proposed as key intermediates in nonheme monooxygenases. Also a single MnIII-oxo center that was prepd. from H2O could be converted to a high-spin MnV-oxo species via stepwise oxidn., a process that mimics the oxidative charging of the O-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II. Current mechanisms for photosynthetic O-O bond formation invoke a MnIV-oxyl species rather than the isoelectronic MnV-oxo system as the key oxidant based on computational studies. However, there is no exptl. information to support the existence of a Mn-oxyl radical. The authors therefore probed the amt. of spin d. on the oxido ligand of the authors' complexes using EPR spectroscopy in conjunction with O-17 labeling. The authors' findings showed that there is a significant amt. of spin on the oxido ligand, yet the M-oxo bonds are best described as highly covalent and there is no indication that an oxyl radical is formed. These results offer the intriguing possibility that high-spin M-oxo complexes are involved in O-O bond formation in biol. Ligand redesign to incorporate H-bond accepting units (sulfonamido groups) simultaneously provided a metal ion binding pocket, adjacent H-bond acceptors, and an auxiliary binding site for a 2nd metal ion. These properties allowed the authors to isolate heterobimetallic complexes of FeIII and MnIII in which a Group II metal ion were coordinated within the secondary coordination sphere. Examn. of the influence of the 2nd metal ion on the electron transfer properties of the primary metal center revealed unexpected similarities between CaII and SrII ions, a result with relevance to the OEC. The presence of a 2nd metal ion was found to prevent intramol. oxidn. of the ligand with an O atom transfer reagent.(b) Gupta, R.; Taguchi, T.; Lassalle-Kaiser, B.; Bominaar, E.

(National Academy of Sciences)The structural and electronic properties of a series of manganese complexes with terminal oxido ligands are described. The complexes span three different oxidn. states at the manganese center (III-V), have similar mol. structures, and contain intramol. hydrogen-bonding networks surrounding the Mn-oxo unit. Structural studies using X-ray absorption methods indicated that each complex is mononuclear and that oxidn. occurs at the manganese centers, which is also supported by ESR (EPR) studies. This gives a high-spin MnV-oxo complex and not a MnIV-oxy radical as the most oxidized species. In addn., the EPR findings demonstrated that the Fermi contact term could exptl. substantiate the oxidn. states at the manganese centers and the covalency in the metal-ligand bonding. Oxygen-17-labeled samples were used to det. spin d. within the Mn-oxo unit, with the greatest delocalization occurring within the MnV-oxo species (0.45 spins on the oxido ligand). The exptl. results coupled with d. functional theory studies show a large amt. of covalency within the Mn-oxo bonds. Finally, these results are examd. within the context of possible mechanisms assocd. with photosynthetic water oxidn.; specifically, the possible identity of the proposed high valent Mn-oxo species that is postulated to form during turnover is discussed. - 83Srnec, M.; Wong, S.

These studies elucidate key frontier MOs (FMOs) and their contribution to H atom abstraction reactivity. The VT MCD spectra of the enzymic S = 2 FeIV=O intermediate with Br- ligation contain information-rich features that largely parallel the corresponding spectra of the S = 2 model complex (TMG3tren)FeIV=O. However, quant. differences are obsd. that correlate with π-anisotropy and oxo donor strength that perturb FMOs and affect reactivity. Due to π-anisotropy, the FeIV=O active site exhibits enhanced reactivity in the direction of the substrate cavity that proceeds through a π-channel that is controlled by perpendicular orientation of the substrate C-H bond relative to the halide-FeIV=O plane. Also, the increased intrinsic reactivity of the SyrB2 intermediate relative to the ferryl model complex is correlated to a higher oxyl character of the FeIV=O at the transition states resulting from the weaker ligand field of the halogenase. - 84Bollinger, J.

(National Academy of Sciences)Oxo-iron(IV) species are implicated as key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of heme and nonheme oxygen activating iron enzymes that selectively functionalize aliph. C-H bonds. Ferryl complexes can exist in either quintet or triplet ground states. D. functional theory calcns. predict that the quintet oxo-iron(IV) species is more reactive toward C-H bond activation than its corresponding triplet partner, however; the available exptl. data on model complexes suggests that both spin multiplicities display comparable reactivities. To clarify this ambiguity, a detailed electronic structure anal. of alkane hydroxylation by an oxo-iron(IV) species on different spin-state potential energy surfaces is performed. According to our results, the lengthening of the Fe-oxo bond in ferryl reactants, which is the part of the reaction coordinate for H-atom abstraction, leads to the formation of oxyl-iron(III) species that then perform actual C-H bond activation. The differential reactivity stems from the fact that the two spin states have different requirements for the optimal angle at which the substrate should approach the (FeO)2+ core because distinct electron acceptor orbitals are employed on the two surfaces. The H-atom abstraction on the quintet surface favors the "σ-pathway" that requires an essentially linear attack; by contrast a "π-channel" is operative on the triplet surface that leads to an ideal attack angle near 90°. However, the latter is not possible due to steric crowding; thus, the attenuated orbital interaction and the unavoidably increased Pauli repulsion result in the lower reactivity of the triplet oxo-iron(IV) complexes.

(American Chemical Society)Metal-mediated C-O bond formation is a key step in hydrocarbon oxygenation catalytic cycles; however, few examples of this reaction have been reported for low-oxidn.-state complexes. Oxygen insertion into a metal-carbon bond of Cp*M(CO)(OPy)R (Cp* = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; R = Me, Ph; OPy = pyridine-N-oxide; M = Fe, Ru, Os) was analyzed via d. functional theory calcns. Oxygen-atom insertions through a concerted single-step organometallic Baeyer-Villiger pathway and a two-step pathway via a metal-oxo intermediate were studied; calcns. predict that the former pathway was lower in energy. The results indicated that functionalization of M-R to M-OR (R = Me, Ph) is plausible using iron(II) complexes. Starting from Cp*Fe(CO)(OPy)Ph, the intermediate Fe-oxo showed oxyl character and, thus, is best considered an FeIIIO•- complex. Oxidn. of the π-acid ancillary ligand CO was facile. Substitutions of CO with dimethylamide and NH3 were calcd. to lower the activation barrier by ∼1-2 kcal/mol for formation of the FeIIIO•- intermediate, whereas a chloride ligand raised the activation barrier to 26 kcal/mol from 22.9 kcal/mol. - 87Gupta, R.; Lacy, D.

The properties of these oxidants are not as well understood as the corresponding intermediate-spin oxidants of heme complexes. The present work gives a detailed characterization of the structurally similar complexes [FeIVH3buea(O)]-, [FeIIIH3buea(O)]2-, and [FeIIIH3buea(OH)]- (H3buea = tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethylene]aminato) using Mossbauer and dual-frequency/dual-mode EPR spectroscopies. The [FeIVH3buea(O)]- complex has a high-spin (S = 2) configuration imposed by the C3-sym. ligand. The EPR spectra of the [FeIVH3buea(O)]- complex presented here represent the 1st documented examples of an EPR signal from an FeIV-oxo complex, demonstrating the ability to detect and quantify FeIV species with EPR spectroscopy. Quant. simulations allowed the detn. of the zero-field parameter, D = +4.7 cm-1, and the species concn. D. functional theory (DFT) calcns. of the zero-field parameter are in agreement with the exptl. value and indicated that the major contribution to the D value is from spin-orbit coupling of the ground state with an excited S = 1 electronic configuration at 1.2 eV 17O isotope enrichment expts. allowed the detn. of the hyperfine consts. 17OAz = 10 MHz for [FeIVH3buea(O)]- and 17OAy = 8 MHz, 17OAz = 12 MHz for [FeIIIH3buea(OH)]-. The isotropic hyperfine const.

This is the 1st exptl. detn. for nonheme complexes and indicates significant covalency in the Fe-oxo bond.

We found that it follows a hybrid pathway that mixes features of the classical σ- and π-pathways in quintet surfaces. These calcns. show that the Fe-O-H arrangement in this hybrid pathway is bent in sharp contrast to the collinear character as obsd. for the classical quintet σ-pathways before. The calcns. have also shown that it is the equatorial ligands that play key roles in tuning the reactivity of FeIVO complexes. The strong π-donating equatorial ligands employed in the current study cause a weak π(FeO) bond and thereby shift the electronic accepting orbitals (EAO) from the vertically oriented O pz orbital to the horizontally oriented O px. In addn., all the equatorial ligands are small in size and would therefore be expected have small steric effects upon substrate horizontal approaching. Therefore, for the small and strong π-donating equatorial ligands, the collinear Fe-O-H arrangement is not the best choice for the quintet reactivity.

The two isomeric Co(III)-peroxo complexes were synthesized and selectively isolated by recrystn. under different conditions. Although cyclic voltammograms of the two isomers in aq. solns. showed one reversible wave at 1.1 V vs. normal H electrode at pH 2.0, two oxidn. waves were obsd. at 1.0 and 1.4 V at pH 7.0 in the aq. solns., the latter of which is responsible for the O2-releasing process. At pH 7, one diastereomer showed higher reactivity than the other in O2 evolution, indicating the importance of structures of the μ-peroxo complexes in the reaction. To clarify the O2-evolving mechanism, the authors performed EPR and resonance Raman (RR) measurements for characterizing 1-electron oxidized species: The obsd. EPR and RR signals supported the formation of μ-superoxo-μ-hydroxo dinuclear Co(III) complexes; however, no characteristic difference was obsd. between two isomers in the EPR parameters including g values and superhyperfine coupling consts. ET-oxidn. rate consts. of the isomers are much faster than the O2-evolving rate consts., indicating that the O2-releasing step is the rate-detg. step in the O2 evolution through the stoichiometric ET oxidn. of the dinuclear Co(III)-μ-peroxo complexes. Therefore, the difference of reactivity in the O2 evolution for the two isomers should be derived from the thermodn. stability of two-electron oxidized species of the dinuclear Co(III)-μ-peroxo complexes, μ-dioxygen-μ-hydroxo dinuclear Co(III) intermediates. - 91Surendranath, Y.; Kanan, M.

Co4O4 cubane complex Co4O4(OAc)4(py)4 (1), which catalyzes efficient water oxidizing activity when powered by a std. photochem. oxidn. source or electrochem. oxidn. The pH dependence of catalysis, the turnover frequency, and in situ monitoring of catalytic species have revealed the intrinsic capabilities of this core type. The catalytic activity of complex 1 and analogous Mn4O4 cubane complexes is attributed to the cubical core topol., which is analogous to that of nature's water oxidn. catalyst, a cubical CaMn4O5 cluster. - 93Egan, J.

(American Chemical Society)In reactions of significance to alternative energy schemes, metal catalysts are needed to overcome kinetically and thermodynamically difficult processes. Often, high-oxidn.-state, high-energy metal oxo intermediates are proposed as mediators in elementary steps involving O-O bond cleavage and formation, but the mechanisms of these steps are difficult to study because of the fleeting nature of these species. Here we utilized a novel dianionic pentadentate ligand system that enabled a detailed mechanistic investigation of the protonation of a cobalt(III)-cobalt(III) peroxo dimer, a known intermediate in oxygen redn. catalysis to hydrogen peroxide. It was shown that double protonation occurs rapidly and leads to a low-energy O-O bond cleavage step that generates a Co(III) aquo complex and a highly reactive Co(IV) oxyl cation. The latter was probed computationally and exptl. implicated through chem. interception and isotope labeling expts. In the absence of competing chem. reagents, it dimerizes and eliminates dioxygen in a step highly relevant to O-O bond formation in the oxygen evolution step in water oxidn. Thus, the study demonstrates both facile O-O bond cleavage and formation in the stoichiometric redn. of O2 to H2O with 2 equiv of Co(II) and suggests a new pathway for selective redn. of O2 to water via Co(III)-O-O-Co(III) peroxo intermediates. - 96Matsunaga, P.

(American Chemical Society)Transition-metal-mediated oxy insertion into metal-C bonds is useful for the development of catalytic cycles for selective hydrocarbon oxidn. However, there are few bona fide examples of net oxy insertion with transition-metal complexes. An extremely rare example of a 3d metal mediating oxy insertion into metal-C bonds is NiII alkyl complexes reacting with nitrous oxide (N2O) reported by Hillhouse and coworkers; however, the mechanism was never fully elucidated. A computational study was performed on bipyridyl Ni metallacycles that form Ni alkoxides upon reaction with N2O to attain insight into future catalyst design for O atom transfer reactions. Two possible mechanisms are explored. Of the two pathways, the computations suggest that the preferred mechanism proceeds through a Ni-oxyl intermediate followed by alkyl migration of the Ni-C bond to form an alkoxide. Oxyl formation is the rate-detg. step, with a free energy barrier of 29.4 kcal/mol for bpyNiII(cyclo-(CH2)4). Complexes that contain sp2-hybridized mols. at the β-C site within the metallacycle ring do not undergo oxy insertion due to elevated barriers. While exploring insertion with another oxidant, pyridine N-oxide, the authors found that N2O is crit. for net oxy insertion with this complex due to the substantial thermodn. advantage of N2 expulsion. Reaction with pyridine N-oxide necessitated expulsion of a worse leaving group, resulting in much higher barriers (ΔG⧧ = 49.7 kcal/mol) for the oxyl formation step. - 98Elwell, C. E.; Gagnon, N.

(American Chemical Society)The activation of dioxygen (O2) by Cu(I) complexes is an important process in biol. systems and industrial applications. In tyrosinase, a binuclear copper enzyme, a μ-η2:η2-peroxodicopper(II) species is accepted generally to be the active oxidant. Reported here is the characterization and reactivity of a μ-η2:η2-peroxodicopper(II) complex synthesized by reacting the Cu(I) complex of the secondary diamine ligand N,N'-di-tert-butyl-ethylenediamine (DBED), [(DBED)Cu(MeCN)](X) (1·X, X = CF3SO3-, CH3SO3-, SbF6-, BF4-), with O2 at 193 K to give [{Cu(DBED)}2(O2)](X)2 (2·X2). The UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic features of 2 vary with the counteranion employed yet are invariant with change of solvent. These results implicate an intimate interaction of the counteranions with the Cu2O2 core. Such interactions are supported further by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses of solns. that reveal weak copper-counteranion interactions. The accessibility of the Cu2O2 core to exogenous ligands such as these counteranions is manifest further in the reactivity of 2 with externally added substrates. Most notable is the hydroxylation reactivity with phenolates to give catechol and quinone products. Thus the strategy of using simple bidentate ligands at low temps. provides not only spectroscopic models of tyrosinase but also functional models. - 101Kamachi, T.; Lee, Y.-M.; Nishimi, T.; Cho, J.; Yoshizawa, K.; Nam, W.

(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)A review. Dopamine β-monooxygenase (I)and peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (II) belong to a small class of Cu-proteins found exclusively in higher eukaryotes. These physiol. important enzymes resp. catalyze the transformation of dopamine to norepinephrine and C-terminal glycine-extended peptides to α-hydroxylated products. Although their substrate specificities are markedly different, these 2 enzymes greatly resemble each other in many other respects. Both enzymes are localized in subcellular compartments: I in chromaffin vesicles of the adrenal gland or synaptic vesicles of the sympathetic nervous system and II in secretory vesicles of the pituitary gland. Although I and II exist in sol. and membrane-bound forms within the vesicular compartments, the majority of studies have been conducted with the more tractable sol. enzymes. The physiol. role played by the sol. and membrane-bound forms may be different, but the chem. mechanisms are almost certain to be the same. Comparison of the primary sequence of the II catalytic core with the larger I indicates a central core of ∼300 amino acids from I that is 27% identical and 40% homologous to II. In addn., I contains ∼200 amino acids toward its N-terminus and ∼100 amino acids toward the C-terminus that bear no relation to II. Of particular note is the conservation of the ligands to the 2 Cu atoms per enzyme subunit, designated CuH and CuM. Although I and II belong to a multi-Cu family of proteins, the Cu atoms appear to perform different functions, that of substrate hydroxylation (CuH) and electron storage/transfer (CuM). Perhaps the most startling feature to emerge from x-ray crystallog. studies is the fully solvent-exposed nature of the Cu sites, raising the questions of (1) how I and II carry out regio- and stereospecific hydroxylations, and (2) how they carry out controlled electron transfer from CuH to CuM through bulk solvent. The formation of a Cu-superoxo intermediate appears to provide a working mechanism that is capable of rationalizing the voluminous data available for I and II. Many exptl. challenges remain, which include the precise tuning of the active site for H-transfer and the possible participation of regions distal from the active site in this process. The vexing question of the exact mechanism of long-range electron transfer between the CuH and CuM sites also awaits elaboration.

MarioJournal of the American Chemical Society (2010), 132 (44), 15565-15572CODEN: JACSAT; ISSN:0002-7863. (American Chemical Society)Peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) catalyzes the stereospecific hydroxylation of the Cα of C-terminal glycine-extended peptides and proteins, the first step in the activation of many peptide hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters. The crystal structure of the enzyme revealed two nonequivalent Cu sites (CuM and CuH) sepd. by ∼11 Å. In the resting state of the enzyme, CuM is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by one methionine, two histidines, and a water mol. The coordination site of the water mol. is the position where external ligands bind. The CuH has a planar T-shaped geometry with three histidines residues and a vacant position that could potentially be occupied by a fourth ligand. Although the catalytic mechanism of PHM and the role of the metals are still being debated, CuM is identified as the metal involved in catalysis, while CuH is assocd. with electron transfer. To further probe the role of the metals, we studied how small mols. such as nitrite (NO2-), azide (N3-), and carbon monoxide (CO) interact with the PHM copper ions. The crystal structure of an oxidized nitrite-soaked PHMcc, obtained by soaking for 20 h in mother liquor supplemented with 300 mM NaNO2, shows that nitrite anion coordinates CuM in an asym. bidentate fashion. Surprisingly, nitrite does not bind CuH, despite the high concn. used in the expts. (nitrite/protein > 1000). Similarly, azide and carbon monoxide coordinate CuM but not CuH in the PHMcc crystal structures obtained by cocrystn. with 40 mM NaN3 and by soaking CO under 3 atm of pressure for 30 min. This lack of reactivity at the CuH is also obsd. in the reduced form of the enzyme: CO binds CuM but not CuH in the structure of PHMcc obtained by exposure of a crystal to 3 atm CO for 15 min in the presence of 5 mM ascorbic acid (reductant). The necessity of CuH to maintain its redox potential in a narrow range compatible with its role as an electron-transfer site seems to explain the lack of coordination of small mols. to CuH; coordination of any external ligand will certainly modify its redox potential. - 105Kim, S.; Ståhlberg, J.; Sandgren, M.; Paton, R.

(National Academy of Sciences)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) exhibit a mononuclear Cu-contg. active site and use O2 and a reducing agent to oxidatively cleave glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides. LPMOs represent a unique paradigm in carbohydrate turnover and exhibit synergy with hydrolytic enzymes in biomass depolymn. To date, several features of Cu binding to LPMOs have been elucidated, but the identity of the reactive O species (ROS) and the key steps in the oxidative mechanism have not been elucidated. Here, DFT calcns. were used with an enzyme active site model to identify the ROS and compare 2 hypothesized reaction pathways in LPMOs for H atom abstraction and polysaccharide hydroxylation; namely, (1) a mechanism that employs a η1-superoxo intermediate, which abstrs. a substrate H atom and a hydroperoxo species is responsible for substrate hydroxylation, and (2) a mechanism wherein a copper-oxyl radical abstrs. a H atom and subsequently hydroxylates the substrate via an oxygen-rebound mechanism. The results predicted that O binds end-on (η1) to Cu, and that a copper-oxyl-mediated, O-rebound mechanism is energetically preferred. N-terminal His methylation was also examd., which is thought to modify the structure and reactivity of the enzyme. DFT calcns. suggested that this post-translational modification had only a minor effect on the LPMO active site structure or reactivity for the examd. steps. Overall, this study suggests the steps in the LPMO mechanism for oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds.

(Elsevier Science B.V.)Reactions of Cu+(1S and 3D) with O2, CO, CO2, N2, NO, N2O, and NO2 are studied using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. Cross sections as a function of kinetic energy are measured for each system to over 17 eV. In all cases, the obsd. reactions of Cu+(1S) are endothermic. Because of the closed shell character of ground state Cu+ (1S, 3d10), most of these systems exhibit cross sections with onsets and peaks at much higher energies than expected from the known thermochem. Such behavior indicates that the reactions occur on relatively repulsive potential energy surfaces and by impulsive processes. Reliable thermodn. information is obtained primarily from the NO2 system where an anal. of the kinetic energy dependence of the reaction cross sections is used to obtain D0(Cu+-O) = 1.35 ± 0.12 eV and D0(Cu-O) = 2.94 ± 0.12 eV. Although speculative, the threshold for an excited state product asymptote in the N2O system also allows the derivation of D0(Cu+-N2) = 0.92 ± 0.31 eV. Reactions of the Cu+(3D, 4s1 3d9) excited state are generally more efficient than those of the ground state and are exothermic in several cases.

(American Institute of Physics)We present a detailed theor. investigation on the dissocn. energy of CuO+, carried out by means of coupled cluster theory, the multireference averaged coupled pair functional (MR-ACPF) approach, diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC), and d. functional theory (DFT). At the resp. extrapolated basis set limits, most post-Hartree-Fock approaches agree within a narrow error margin on a De value of 26.0 kcal mol-1 coupled-cluster singles and doubles level augmented by perturbative triples corrections, CCSD(T), 25.8 kcal mol-1 (CCSDTQ via the high accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermochem. protocol), and 25.6 kcal mol-1 (DMC), which is encouraging in view of the disaccording data published thus far. The configuration-interaction based MR-ACPF expansion, which includes single and double excitations only, gives a slightly lower value of 24.1 kcal mol-1, indicating that large basis sets and triple excitation patterns are necessary ingredients for a quant. assessment. Our best est. for D0 at the CCSD(T) level is 25.3 kcal mol-1, which is somewhat lower than the latest exptl. value (D0 = 31.1 ± 2.8 kcal mol-1; reported by the Armentrout group). These highly correlated methods are, however, computationally very demanding, and the results are therefore supplemented with those of more affordable DFT calcns. If used in combination with moderately-sized basis sets, the M05 and M06 hybrid functionals turn out to be promising candidates for studies on much larger systems contg. a CuO+ core.

(American Chemical Society)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are promising enzymes for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and biomaterials. Classically considered oxygenases, recent work suggests that H2O2 can, under certain circumstances, also be a potential substrate. Here we present a detailed mechanism of the activation of H2O2 by a C4-acting LPMO using small-model DFT and QM/MM calcns. We show that there is an efficient mechanism to break the O-O bond of H2O2, with a low barrier of 5.8 kcal/mol, via a one-electron transfer from the LPMO-Cu(I) site to form an HO• radical, stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions. Our QM/MM calcns. further show that the H-bonding machinery of the enzyme directs the HO• radical to abstr. a hydrogen atom from the Cu(II)-OH unit rather than from the substrate in what is essentially a caged-radical reaction, thereby forming a Cu(II)-oxyl species. The Cu(II)-oxyl species then exclusively oxidizes the C4-H bond due to the suitable position of the substrate. Our calcns. also suggest that the C4-hydroxylated intermediate can be efficiently hydrolyzed in water, and this process does not require enzymic catalysis. - 110(a) Hong, S.; Huber, S.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Theor. speaking: The mechanistic details assocd. with the generation and reaction of [CuO]+ species from CuI-α-ketocarboxylate complexes, esp. with respect to modifications of the ligand supporting the copper center, were investigated. Theor. models were used to characterize the electronic structures of different [CuO]+ species and their reactivity in C-H activation and O-atom transfer reactions. A mechanism for the oxygenation of CuI complexes with α-ketocarboxylate ligands that is based on a combination of d. functional theory and multireference second-order perturbation theory (CASSCF/CASPT2) calcns. is elaborated. The reaction proceeds in a manner largely analogous to those of similar FeII-α-ketocarboxylate systems, i.e., by initial attack of a coordinated oxygen mol. on a ketocarboxylate ligand with concomitant decarboxylation. Subsequently, two reactive intermediates may be generated, a Cu-peracid structure and a [CuO]+ species, both of which are capable of oxidizing a Ph ring component of the supporting ligand. Hydroxylation by the [CuO]+ species is predicted to proceed with a smaller activation free energy. The effects of electronic and steric variations on the oxygenation mechanisms were studied by introducing substituents at several positions of the ligand backbone and by investigating various N-donor ligands. In general, more electron donation by the N-donor ligand leads to increased stabilization of the more CuII/CuIII-like intermediates (oxygen adducts and [CuO]+ species) relative to the more CuI-like peracid intermediate. For all ligands investigated, the [CuO]+ intermediates are best described as CuII-O·- species with triplet ground states. The reactivity of these compds. in C-H abstraction reactions decreases with more electron-donating N-donor ligands, which also increase the Cu-O bond strength, although the Cu-O bond is generally predicted to be rather weak (with a bond order of about 0.5). A comparison of several methods to obtain singlet energies for the reaction intermediates indicates that multireference second-order perturbation theory is likely more accurate for the initial oxygen adducts, but not necessarily for subsequent reaction intermediates. - 111Tsuji, T.; Zaoputra, A.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A dual mechanism for direct benzene catalytic hydroxylation is described. Exptl. studies and DFT calcns. have provided a mechanistic explanation for the acid-free, TpxCu-catalyzed hydroxylation of benzene with hydrogen peroxide (Tpx = hydrotrispyrazolylborate ligand). In contrast with other catalytic systems that promote this transformation through Fenton-like pathways, this system operates through a copper-oxyl intermediate that may interact with the arene ring following two different, competitive routes: (a) electrophilic arom. substitution, with the copper-oxyl species acting as the formal electrophile, and (b) the so-called rebound mechanism, in which the hydrogen is abstracted by the Cu-O moiety prior to the C-O bond formation. Both pathways contribute to the global transformation albeit to different extents, the electrophilic substitution route seeming to be largely favored.

A series of four oxidn. and four deprotonation events generate the catalytically competent species cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuVO]2O4+, which breaks the H-OH bond homolytically at the rate detg. transition state to give a hydroperoxo intermediate.

A no. of plausible coupling schemes of the two metal sites including strong coupling, weak ferromagnetic and weak antiferromagnetic coupling have been considered. In addn., both high-spin and low-spin states at each of the Ru(V)-d3 centers were explored and we found that the high-spin states play an important mechanistic role. Our calcns. suggest that cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuVO]2O4+ performs formally an intramol. ligand-to-metal charge transfer when reacting with water to formally give a cis,cis-[(bpy)2RuIVO•]2O4+ complex. We propose that the key characteristic of the diruthenium catalyst that allows it to accomplish the most difficult first two oxidns. of the overall four-electron redox reaction is directly assocd. with this in situ generation of two radicaloid oxo moieties that promote the water splitting reaction. A proton coupled metal-to-metal charge transfer follows to yield a Ru(V)/Ru(III) peroxo/aqua mixed valence complex, which performs the third redox reaction to give the superoxo/aqua complex. Finally, intersystem crossing to a ferromagnetically coupled Ru(IV)/Ru(III) superoxo/aqua species is predicted, which will then promote the last redox event to release triplet dioxygen as the final product. A no. of key features of the computed mechanism are explored in detail to derive a conceptual understanding of the catalytic mechanism. - 119Rüttinger, W.; Dismukes, G. C.

(American Chemical Society)The addn. of an [X]+ electrophile to the five-coordinate oxorhenium(V) anion [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- {[apPh]2- = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(phenylamido)phenolate} gives new products contg. Re-X bonds. The Re-X bond-forming reaction is analogous to oxo transfer to [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- in that both are 2e- redox processes, but the electronic structures of the products are different. Whereas oxo addn. to [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- yields a closed-shell [ReVII(O)2(apPh)2]- product of 2e- metal oxidn., [Cl]+ addn. gives a diradical ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl product ([isqPh]·- = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(phenylimino)semiquinonate) with 1e- in a Re d orbital and 1e- on a redox-active ligand. The differences in electronic structure are ascribed to differences in the π basicity of [O]2- and Cl- ligands. The observation of ligand radicals in ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)X provides exptl. support for the capacity of redox-active ligands to deliver electrons in other bond-forming reactions at [ReV(O)(apPh)2]-, including radical addns. of O2 or TEMPO· to make Re-O bonds. Attempts to prep. the electron-transfer series monomers between ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)X and [ReV(O)(apPh)2]- yielded a sym. bis(μ-oxo)dirhenium complex. Formation of this dimer suggested that ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl may be a source of an oxyl metal fragment. The ability of ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl to undergo radical coupling at oxo was revealed in its reaction with Ph3C·, which affords Ph3COH and deoxygenated metal products. This reactivity is surprising because ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl is not a strong outer-sphere oxidant or oxo-transfer reagent. The authors postulate that the unique ability of ReVI(O)(apPh)(isqPh)Cl to effect oxo transfer to Ph3C· arises from symmetry-allowed mixing of a populated Re[n.58876]O π bond with a ligand-centered [isqPh]·- ligand radical, which gives oxyl radical character to the oxo ligand. This allows the closed-shell oxo ligand to undergo a net 2e- oxo-transfer reaction to Ph3C· via kinetically facile redox-active ligand-mediated radical steps. Harnessing intraligand charge transfer for radical reactions at closed-shell oxo ligands is a new strategy to exploit redox-active ligands for small-mol. activation and functionalization. The implications for the design of new oxidants that use low-barrier radical steps for selective multielectron transformations are discussed. - 122Conry, R. R.; Mayer, J. M.

With the unsubstituted triazacyclononane (tacn), however, both [ReV(O)Cl2(tacn)]+ (II) and [ReVII(O)3(tacn)]+ (III) are formed, even under anaerobic conditions. Oxidn. of II to III [Re(V) → Re(VII)] can be easily accomplished with a variety of mild oxidizing agents such as Me2SO and I2, but the oxidn. of I requires over a month at 80° in aq. nitric acid. I is reduced [Re(V) → Re(III)] by oxygen atom transfer to phosphines, forming [ReIII(OPR3)Cl2(Me3tacn)]+ (IV; R = Ph, Me). The OPPh3 ligand in IV is easily displaced by other neutral ligands such as MeCN or Me2CO. [Re(OCMe2)Cl2(Me3tacn)]+ is readily oxidized back to I [Re(III) → Re(V)] by the O atom donors BuNCO, OAsPh3, Me2SO, ethylene oxide, pyridine N-oxide, and N2O. These reactions require an open coordination site at the Re(III) center. Surprisingly, it is not substantially easier to oxidize IV than II. On the basis of these reactions, simple thermochem. cycles are used to est. the Re-oxo bond strength in I to be 141 ± 9 kcal/mol. - 123Verat, A. Y.; Fan, H.; Pink, M.; Chen, Y.-S.; Caulton, K. G.

The more general application of POMs as photoactive compds., in particular in solar energy harnessing, has been hampered as the clusters typically absorb light in the UV-region only. Over the past decade, concepts have been put forward on how the reactivity of this class of compds. can be optimized to improve their overall photoactivity, and a particular focus has been on the design of photocatalytic processes which allow the conversion of solar light into useful chem. reactivity. This perspective gives a brief overview of general aspects of POM photochem. and critically discusses the advantages and challenges of a range of POM-based systems for photooxidns. and photoredns. with a focus on the development of sustainable solar light conversion systems.

Irradn. of the charge-transfer bands of POM dissolved in org. media at 25° leads in most cases to oxidn. of the org. substrate and redn. of the POM. The POM fall into 3 categories defined by their thermal and photochem. redox chem. in the presence of org. substrates. Type I complexes, exemplified by those of Nb and Ta, do not photooxidize any org. substrate upon irradn. Type II complexes, exemplified by decavanadate and most heteropoly- and isopolymolybdates, and Type III complexes, exemplified by most heteropoly- and isopolytungstates, do not oxidize a wide range of org. substrates upon irradn. Reoxidn. of the reduced forms of the Type II complexes, either by reaction with O2 or by evolution of H2, is kinetically or thermodynamically unfavorable; analogous reoxidn. of the reduced forms of the Type III complexes is not. Several factors affecting the quantum yields for prodn. of reduced POM are outlined, and the energetic features regarding H2 evolution are discussed. The IR, UV, and 31P, 183W and 17O NMR spectral properties of α-H3PW12O40.6H2O (I) and other POM remain the same before and after catalytic photochem. dehydrogenation of representative alc., ether or amide substrates. Little if any POM decompn. occurs during the photoredox chem. Interactions between org. substrates and POM have profound effects on the electronic structure of the POM. The charge-transfer transitions of I display different sensitivities to medium in the low-energy (λ >300 nm) vs. high-energy region of the UV-visible spectral range. The highest quantum yields for photoredox chem. involving org. substrates and I are obsd. in the low-energy or absorption-tail region. One possible model explaining the wavelength dependence of the absorption and photochem. action spectra is discussed. A general mechanism in agreement with all the exptl. data is proposed for org. substrate oxidn. and the effective capture of light energy in these POM-org. substrate systems. - 127Duncan, D.

Identification of a Short-Lived LMCT Excited State and a Reactive Long-Lived Charge-Transfer Intermediate following Picosecond Flash Excitation of [W10O32]4- in AcetonitrileDuncan, Dean C.; Netzel, Thomas L.; Hill, Craig L.Inorganic Chemistry (1995), 34 (18), 4640-6CODEN: INOCAJ; ISSN:0020-1669. (American Chemical Society)The authors report picosecond flash excitation results on [W10O32]4-, which demonstrate that the initially prepd. ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) excited state decays within ∼30 ps to a single intermediate that persists for >15 ns. Little or no substrate reaction is derived from the short-lived LMCT excited state. Furthermore, the long-lived intermediate is not the 1-electron-reduced species [W10O32]5- or one of its protonated derivs. This long-lived intermediate is the primary photoreactant and has substantial charge-transfer character itself. Addnl. the intermediate and [W10O32]5- are likely to have similar W-orbital electron d.; the principal differences in electronic structure derive from the presence of an oxidized oxygen site in the intermediate which is lacking in [W10O32]5-.
