Hydrogen activation by biomimetic diiron dithiolates.

ABSTRACT: Using the thermally stable salts of [Fe(2)(SR)(2)(CO)(3)(PMe(3))(dppv)]BAr(F)(4), we found that the azadithiolates [Fe(2)(adtR)(CO)(3)(PMe(3))(dppv)](+) react with high pressures of H(2) to give the hydride [Fe(2)(mu-H)(adtR)(CO)(3)(dppv)(PMe(3))]BAr(F)(4). The related oxadithiolate and propanedithiolate complexes are unreactive toward H(2). Molecular hydrogen is proposed to undergo heterolysis assisted by the amine followed by isomerization of an initially formed terminal hydride. Use of H(2) and D(2)O gave the deuteride as well as the hydride, implicating protic intermediates.

Terminal vs bridging hydrides of diiron dithiolates: protonation of Fe2(dithiolate)(CO)2(PMe3)4.

Project description:This investigation examines the protonation of diiron dithiolates, exploiting the new family of exceptionally electron-rich complexes Fe(2)(xdt)(CO)(2)(PMe(3))(4), where xdt is edt (ethanedithiolate, 1), pdt (propanedithiolate, 2), and adt (2-aza-1,3-propanedithiolate, 3), prepared by the photochemical substitution of the corresponding hexacarbonyls. Compounds 1-3 oxidize near -950 mV vs Fc(+/0). Crystallographic analyses confirm that 1 and 2 adopt C(2)-symmetric structures (Fe-Fe = 2.616 and 2.625 Å, respectively). Low-temperature protonation of 1 afforded exclusively [?-H1](+), establishing the non-intermediacy of the terminal hydride ([t-H1](+)). At higher temperatures, protonation afforded mainly [t-H1](+). The temperature dependence of the ratio [t-H1](+)/[?-H1](+) indicates that the barriers for the two protonation pathways differ by ?4 kcal/mol. Low-temperature (31)P{(1)H} NMR measurements indicate that the protonation of 2 proceeds by an intermediate, proposed to be the S-protonated dithiolate [Fe(2)(Hpdt)(CO)(2)(PMe(3))(4)](+) ([S-H2](+)). This intermediate converts to [t-H2](+) and [?-H2](+) by first-order and second-order processes, respectively. DFT calculations support transient protonation at sulfur and the proposal that the S-protonated species (e.g., [S-H2](+)) rearranges to the terminal hydride intramolecularly via a low-energy pathway. Protonation of 3 affords exclusively terminal hydrides, regardless of the acid or conditions, to give [t-H3](+), which isomerizes to [t-H3'](+), wherein all PMe(3) ligands are basal.

Current challenges of modeling diiron enzyme active sites for dioxygen activation by biomimetic synthetic complexes.

Project description:This tutorial review describes recent progress in modeling the active sites of carboxylate-rich non-heme diiron enzymes that activate dioxygen to carry out several key reactions in Nature. The chemistry of soluble methane monooxygenase, which catalyzes the selective oxidation of methane to methanol, is of particular interest for (bio)technological applications. Novel synthetic diiron complexes that mimic structural, and, to a lesser extent, functional features of these diiron enzymes are discussed. The chemistry of the enzymes is also briefly summarized. A particular focus of this review is on models that mimic characteristics of the diiron systems that were previously not emphasized, including systems that contain (i) aqua ligands, (ii) different substrates tethered to the ligand framework, (iii) dendrimers attached to carboxylates to mimic the protein environment, (iv) two N-donors in a syn-orientation with respect to the iron-iron vector, and (v) a N-rich ligand environment capable of accessing oxygenated high-valent diiron intermediates.

Nitrosyl derivatives of diiron(I) dithiolates mimic the structure and Lewis acidity of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site.

Project description:This study probes the impact of electronic asymmetry of diiron(I) dithiolato carbonyls. Treatment of Fe2(S2C(n)H(2n))(CO)(6-x)(PMe3)x compounds (n = 2, 3; x = 1, 2, 3) with NOBF4 gave the derivatives [Fe2(S2C(n)H(2n))(CO)(5-x)(PMe3)x(NO)]BF4, which are electronically unsymmetrical because of the presence of a single NO(+) ligand. Whereas the monophosphine derivative is largely undistorted, the bis(PMe3) derivatives are distorted such that the CO ligand on the Fe(CO)(PMe3)(NO)(+) subunit is semibridging. Two isomers of [Fe2(S2C3H6)(CO)3(PMe3)2(NO)]BF4 were characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically. Each isomer features electron-rich Fe(CO)2PMe3 and electrophilic Fe(CO)(PMe3)(NO)(+) subunits. These species are in equilibrium with an unobserved isomer that reversibly binds CO (DeltaH = -35 kJ/mol, DeltaS = -139 J mol(-1) K(-1)) to give the symmetrical adduct [Fe2(S2C3H6)(mu-NO)(CO)4(PMe3)2]BF4. In contrast to Fe2(S2C3H6)(CO)4(PMe3)2, the bis(PMe3) nitrosyl complexes readily undergo CO substitution to give the (PMe3)3 derivatives. The nitrosyl complexes reduce at potentials that are approximately 1 V milder than their carbonyl counterparts. Results of density functional theory calculations, specifically natural bond orbital analysis, reinforce the electronic resemblance of the nitrosyl complexes to the corresponding mixed-valence diiron complexes. Unlike other diiron dithiolato carbonyls, these species undergo reversible reductions at mild potentials. The results show that the novel structural and chemical features associated with mixed-valence diiron dithiolates (the so-called H(ox) models) can be replicated in the absence of mixed-valency by the introduction of electronic asymmetry.

Hydrogen activation by biomimetic [NiFe]-hydrogenase model containing protected cyanide cofactors.

Project description:Described are experiments demonstrating incorporation of cyanide cofactors and hydride substrate into [NiFe]-hydrogenase (H2ase) active site models. Complexes of the type (CO)2(CN)2Fe(pdt)Ni(dxpe) (dxpe = dppe, 1; dxpe = dcpe, 2) bind the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 (BAr(F)3) to give the adducts (CO)2(CNBAr(F)3)2Fe(pdt)Ni(dxpe), (1(BAr(F)3)2, 2(BAr(F)3)2). Upon decarbonylation using amine oxides, these adducts react with H2 to give hydrido derivatives [(CO)(CNBAr(F)3)2Fe(H)(pdt)Ni(dxpe)](-) (dxpe = dppe, [H3(BAr(F)3)2](-); dxpe = dcpe, [H4(BAr(F)3)2](-)). Crystallographic analysis shows that Et4N[H3(BAr(F)3)2] generally resembles the active site of the enzyme in the reduced, hydride-containing states (Ni-C/R). The Fe-H···Ni center is unsymmetrical with r(Fe-H) = 1.51(3) Å and r(Ni-H) = 1.71(3) Å. Both crystallographic and (19)F NMR analyses show that the CNBAr(F)3(-) ligands occupy basal and apical sites. Unlike cationic Ni-Fe hydrides, [H3(BAr(F)3)2](-) and [H4(BAr(F)3)2](-) oxidize at mild potentials, near the Fc(+/0) couple. Electrochemical measurements indicate that in the presence of base, [H3(BAr(F)3)2](-) catalyzes the oxidation of H2. NMR evidence indicates dihydrogen bonding between these anionic hydrides and R3NH(+) salts, which is relevant to the mechanism of hydrogenogenesis. In the case of Et4N[H3(BAr(F)3)2], strong acids such as HCl induce H2 release to give the chloride Et4N[(CO)(CNBAr(F)3)2Fe(Cl)(pdt)Ni(dppe)].

Triptycene-based Bis(benzimidazole) Carboxylate-Bridged Biomimetic Diiron(II) Complexes.

Project description:A triptycene-based bis(benzimidazole) ester ligand, L3, was designed to enhance the electron donating ability of the heterocyclic nitrogen atoms relative to those of the first generation bis(benzoxazole) analogs, L1 and L2. A convergent synthesis of L3 was designed and executed. Three-component titration experiments using UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that the desired diiron(II) complex could be obtained with a 1:2:1 ratio of L3:Fe(OTf)2(MeCN)2:external carboxylate reactants. X-ray crystallographic studies of two diiron complexes derived in this manner from L3 revealed their formulas to be [Fe2L3(?-OH)(?-O2CR)(OTf)2], where R = 2,6-bis(p-tolyl)benzoate (7) or triphenylacetate (8). The structures are similar to that of a diiron complex derived from L1, [Fe2L1(?-OH)(?-O2CArTol)(OTf)2] (9) with a notable difference being that, in 7 and 8, the geometry at iron more closely resembles square-pyramidal than trigonal-bipyramidal. Mössbauer spectroscopic analyses of 7 and 8 indicate the presence of high-spin diiron(II) cores. These results demonstrate the importance of substituting benzimidazole for benzoxazole for assembling biomimetic diiron complexes with syn disposition of two N-donor ligands, as found in O2-activating carboxylate-bridged diiron centers in biology.

Biomimetic hydrogen-bonding cascade for chemical activation: telling a nucleophile from a base.

Project description:Hydrogen bonding-assisted polarization is an effective strategy to promote bond-making and bond-breaking chemical reactions. Taking inspiration from the catalytic triad of serine protease active sites, we have devised a conformationally well-defined benzimidazole platform that can be systematically functionalized to install multiple hydrogen bonding donor (HBD) and acceptor (HBA) pairs in a serial fashion. We found that an increasing number of interdependent and mutually reinforcing HBD-HBA contacts facilitate the bond-forming reaction of a fluorescence-quenching aldehyde group with the cyanide ion, while suppressing the undesired Brønsted acid-base reaction. The most advanced system, evolved through iterative rule-finding studies, reacts rapidly and selectively with CN- to produce a large (>180-fold) enhancement in the fluorescence intensity at λ max = 450 nm.

Ferrous Carbonyl Dithiolates as Precursors to FeFe, FeCo, and FeMn Carbonyl Dithiolates.

Project description:Reported are complexes of the formula Fe(dithiolate)(CO)2(diphos) and their use to prepare homo- and heterobimetallic dithiolato derivatives. The starting iron dithiolates were prepared by a one-pot reaction of FeCl2 and CO with chelating diphosphines and dithiolates, where dithiolate = S2(CH2)2(2-) (edt(2-)), S2(CH2)3(2-) (pdt(2-)), S2(CH2)2(C(CH3)2)(2-) (Me2pdt(2-)) and diphos = cis-C2H2(PPh2)2 (dppv), C2H4(PPh2)2 (dppe), C6H4(PPh2)2 (dppbz), C2H4[P(C6H11)2]2 (dcpe). The incorporation of (57)Fe into such building block complexes commenced with the conversion of (57)Fe into (57)Fe2I4( (i) PrOH)4, which then was treated with K2pdt, CO, and dppe to give (57)Fe(pdt)(CO)2(dppe). NMR and IR analyses show that these complexes exist as mixtures of all-cis and trans-CO isomers, edt(2-) favoring the former and pdt(2-) the latter. Treatment of Fe(dithiolate)(CO)2(diphos) with the Fe(0) reagent (benzylideneacetone)Fe(CO)3 gave Fe2(dithiolate)(CO)4(diphos), thereby defining a route from simple ferrous salts to models for hydrogenase active sites. Extending the building block route to heterobimetallic complexes, treatment of Fe(pdt)(CO)2(dppe) with [(acenaphthene)Mn(CO)3](+) gave [(CO)3Mn(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppe)](+) ([3d(CO)](+)). Reduction of [3d(CO)](+) with BH4(-) gave the Cs -symmetric ?-hydride (CO)3Mn(pdt)(H)Fe(CO)(dppe) (H3d). Complex H3d is reversibly protonated by strong acids, the proposed site of protonation being sulfur. Treatment of Fe(dithiolate)(CO)2(diphos) with CpCoI2(CO) followed by reduction by Cp2Co affords CpCo(dithiolate)Fe(CO)(diphos) (4), which can also be prepared from Fe(dithiolate)(CO)2(diphos) and CpCo(CO)2. Like the electronically related (CO)3Fe(pdt)Fe(CO)(diphos), these complexes undergo protonation to afford the ?-hydrido complexes [CpCo(dithiolate)HFe(CO)(diphos)](+). Low-temperature NMR studies indicate that Co is the kinetic site of protonation.

Vibrational characterization of a diiron bridging hydride complex - a model for hydrogen catalysis.

Project description:A diiron complex containing a bridging hydride and a protonated terminal thiolate of the form [(μ,κ2-bdtH)(μ-PPh2)(μ-H)Fe2(CO)5]+ has been investigated through 57Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) and interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We report the Fe-μH-Fe wagging mode, and indications for Fe-μD stretching vibrations in the D-isotopologue, observed by 57Fe-NRVS. Our combined approach demonstrates an asymmetric sharing of the hydride between the two iron sites that yields two nondegenerate Fe-μH/D stretching vibrations. The studied complex provides an important model relevant to biological hydrogen catalysis intermediates. The complex mimics proposals for the binuclear metal sites in [FeFe] and [NiFe] hydrogenases. It is also an appealing prototype for the 'Janus intermediate' of nitrogenase, which has been proposed to contain two bridging Fe-H-Fe hydrides and two protonated sulfurs at the FeMo-cofactor. The significance of observing indirect effects of the bridging hydride, as well as obstacles in its direct observation, is discussed in the context of biological hydrogen intermediates.

Enhanced photochemical hydrogen production by a molecular diiron catalyst incorporated into a metal-organic framework.

Project description:A molecular proton reduction catalyst [FeFe](dcbdt)(CO)6 (1, dcbdt = 1,4-dicarboxylbenzene-2,3-dithiolate) with structural similarities to [FeFe]-hydrogenase active sites has been incorporated into a highly robust Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) by postsynthetic exchange (PSE). The PSE protocol is crucial as direct solvothermal synthesis fails to produce the functionalized MOF. The molecular integrity of the organometallic site within the MOF is demonstrated by a variety of techniques, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In conjunction with [Ru(bpy)3](2+) as a photosensitizer and ascorbate as an electron donor, MOF-[FeFe](dcbdt)(CO)6 catalyzes photochemical hydrogen evolution in water at pH 5. The immobilized catalyst shows substantially improved initial rates and overall hydrogen production when compared to a reference system of complex 1 in solution. Improved catalytic performance is ascribed to structural stabilization of the complex when incorporated in the MOF as well as the protection of reduced catalysts 1(-) and 1(2-) from undesirable charge recombination with oxidized ascorbate.

Observed enhancement of the reactivity of a biomimetic diiron complex by the addition of water - mechanistic insights from theoretical modeling.

Project description:The biomimetic diiron complex [Fe(III)Fe(IV)(mu-O)(2)(5-Me(3)-TPA)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) has been found to be capable of oxidizing 9,10-dihydroanthracene in a solution of acetonitrile. Addition of water up to 1 M makes the reaction 200 times faster, suggesting that the water molecule in some way activates the catalyst for more efficient substrate oxidation. It is proposed that the enhanced reactivity results from the coordination of a water molecule to the iron(III) half of the complex, converting the bis-mu-oxo structure of the diiron complex to a ring-opened form where one of the bridging oxo groups is transformed into a terminal oxo group on iron(IV). The suggested mechanism is supported by DFT (B3LYP) calculations and transition state theory. Two different computational models of the diiron complex are used to model the hydroxylation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol. Model has a bis-mu-oxo diiron core (diamond core) while model represents the "open core" analogue with one bridging mu-oxo group, a terminal oxo ligand on iron(IV), and a water molecule coordinated to iron(III). The computational results clearly suggest that the terminal oxo group is more reactive than the bridging oxo group. The free energy of activation is 7.0 kcal mol(-1) lower for the rate limiting step when the oxidant has a terminal oxo group than when both oxo groups are bridging the irons.
