Superoxo, mu-peroxo, and mu-oxo complexes from heme/O2 and heme-Cu/O2 reactivity: copper ligand influences in cytochrome c oxidase models.

ABSTRACT: The O(2)-reaction chemistry of 1:1 mixtures of (F(8))Fe(II) (1; F(8) = tetrakis(2,6-diflurorophenyl)porphyrinate) and [(L(Me(2))N)Cu(I)](+) (2; L(Me(2))N = N,N-bis(2-[2-(N',N'-4-dimethylamino)pyridyl]ethyl)methylamine) is described, to model aspects of the chemistry occurring in cytochrome c oxidase. Spectroscopic investigations, along with stopped-flow kinetics, reveal that low-temperature oxygenation of 1/2 leads to rapid formation of a heme-superoxo species (F(8))Fe(III)-(O(2)(-)) (3), whether or not 2 is present. Complex 3 subsequently reacts with 2 to form [(F(8))Fe(III)-(O(2)(2-))-Cu(II)(L(Me(2))N)](+) (4), which thermally converts to [(F(8))Fe(III)-(O)-Cu(II)(L(Me(2))N)](+) (5), which has an unusually bent (Fe-O-Cu) bond moiety. Tridentate chelation, compared with tetradentate, is shown to dramatically lower the nu(O-O) values observed in 4 and give rise to the novel structural features in 5.

Project description:Current interest in copper/dioxygen reactivity includes the influence of thioether sulfur ligation, as it concerns the formation, structures, and properties of derived copper-dioxygen complexes. Here, we report on the chemistry of {L-Cu(I)}2-(O2) species L = (DMM)ESE, (DMM)ESP, and (DMM)ESDP, which are N3S(thioether)-based ligands varied in the nature of a substituent on the S atom, along with a related N3O(ether) (EOE) ligand. Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Copper(I) complexes are dimeric in the solid state, [{L-Cu(I)}2](B(C6F5)4)2, however are shown by diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy to be mononuclear in solution. Copper(II) complexes with a general formulation [L-Cu(II)(X)](n+) {X = ClO4(-), n = 1, or X = H2O, n = 2} exhibit distorted square pyramidal coordination geometries and progressively weaker axial thioether ligation across the series. Oxygenation (-130 °C) of {((DMM)ESE)Cu(I)}(+) results in the formation of a trans-μ-1,2-peroxodicopper(II) species [{((DMM)ESE)Cu(II)}2(μ-1,2-O2(2-))](2+) (1(P)). Weakening the Cu-S bond via a change to the thioether donor found in (DMM)ESP leads to the initial formation of [{((DMM)ESP)Cu(II)}2(μ-1,2-O2(2-))](2+) (2(P)) that subsequently isomerizes to a bis-μ-oxodicopper(III) complex, [{((DMM)ESP)Cu(III)}2(μ-O(2-))2](2+) (2(O)), with 2(P) and 2(O) in equilibrium (K(eq) = [2(O)]/[2(P)] = 2.6 at -130 °C). Formulations for these Cu/O2 adducts were confirmed by resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy. This solution mixture is sensitive to the addition of methylsulfonate, which shifts the equilibrium toward the bis-μ-oxo isomer. Further weakening of the Cu-S bond in (DMM)ESDP or substitution with an ether donor in (DMM)EOE leads to only a bis-μ-oxo species (3(O) and 4(O), respectively). Reactivity studies indicate that the bis-μ-oxodicopper(III) species (2(O), 3(O)) and not the trans-peroxo isomers (1(P) and 2(P)) are responsible for the observed ligand sulfoxidation. Our findings concerning the existence of the 2(P)/2(O) equilibrium contrast with previously established ligand-Cu(I)/O2 reactivity and possible implications are discussed.

Project description:Dioxygen reduction by heme-copper oxidases is a critical biochemical process, wherein hydrogen bonding is hypothesized to participate in the critical step involving the active-site reductive cleavage of the O-O bond. Sixteen novel synthetic heme-(μ-O2 2-)-Cu(XTMPA) complexes, whose design is inspired by the cytochrome c oxidase active site structure, were generated in an attempt to form the first intramolecular H-bonded complexes. Derivatives of the "parent" ligand (XTMPA, TMPA = (tris((2-pyridyl)methyl)amine)) possessing one or two amine pendants preferentially form an H-bond with the copper-bound O-atom of the peroxide bridge. This is evidenced by a characteristic blue shift in the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) bands observed in UV-vis spectroscopy (consistent with lowering of the peroxo π* relative to the iron orbitals) and a weakening of the O-O bond determined by resonance Raman spectroscopy (rR), with support from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Remarkably, with the TMPA-based infrastructure (versus similar heme-peroxo-copper complexes with different copper ligands), the typically undetected Cu-O stretch for these complexes was observed via rR, affording critical insights into the nature of the O-O peroxo core for the complexes studied. While amido functionalities have been shown to have greater H-bonding capabilities than their amino counterparts, in these heme-peroxo-copper complexes amido substituents distort the local geometry such that H-bonding with the peroxo core only imparts a weak electronic effect; optimal H-bonding interactions are observed by employing two amino groups on the copper ligand. The amino-substituted systems presented in this work reveal a key orientational anisotropy in H-bonding to the peroxo core for activating the O-O bond, offering critical insights into effective O-O cleavage chemistry. These findings indirectly support computational and protein structural studies suggesting the presence of an interstitial H-bonding water molecule in the CcO active site, which is critical for the desired reactivity. The results are evaluated with appropriate controls and discussed with respect to potential O2-reduction capabilities.
