Oxidative atom-transfer to a trimanganese complex to form Mn6(?6-E) (E = O, N) clusters featuring interstitial oxide and nitride functionalities.

ABSTRACT: Utilizing a hexadentate ligand platform, a trinuclear manganese complex of the type ((H)L)Mn(3)(thf)(3) was synthesized and characterized ([(H)L](6-) = [MeC(CH(2)N(C(6)H(4)-o-NH))(3)](6-)). The pale-orange, formally divalent trimanganese complex rapidly reacts with O-atom transfer reagents to afford the ?(6)-oxo complex ((H)L)(2)Mn(6)(?(6)-O)(NCMe)(4), where two trinuclear subunits bind the central O-atom and the ((H)L) ligands cooperatively bind both trinuclear subunits. The trimanganese complex ((H)L)Mn(3)(thf)(3) rapidly consumes inorganic azide ([N(3)]NBu(4)) to afford a dianionic hexanuclear nitride complex [((H)L)(2)Mn(6)(?(6)-N)](NBu(4))(2), which subsequently can be oxidized with elemental iodine to ((H)L)(2)Mn(6)(?(6)-N)(NCMe)(4). EPR and alkylation of the interstitial light atom substituent were used to distinguish the nitride from the oxo complex. The oxo and oxidized nitride complexes give rise to well-defined Mn(II) and Mn(III) sites, determined by bond valence summation, while the dianionic nitride shows a more symmetric complex, giving rise to indistinguishable ion oxidation states based on crystal structure bond metrics.

Project description:Nitrate reductases (NRs) are molybdoenzymes that reduce nitrate (NO3 -) to nitrite (NO2 -) in both mammals and plants. In mammals, the salival microbes take part in the generation of the NO2 - from NO3 -, which further produces nitric oxide (NO) either in acid-induced NO2 - reduction or in the presence of nitrite reductases (NiRs). Here, we report a new approach of VCl3 (V3+ ion source) induced step-wise reduction of NO3 - in a CoII-nitrato complex, [(12-TMC)CoII(NO3 -)]+ (2,{CoII-NO3 -}), to a CoIII-nitrosyl complex, [(12-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ (4,{CoNO}8), bearing an N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand. The VCl3 inspired reduction of NO3 - to NO is believed to occur in two consecutive oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions, i.e., OAT-1 = NO3 - → NO2 - (r1) and OAT-2 = NO2 - → NO (r2). In these OAT reactions, VCl3 functions as an O-atom abstracting species, and the reaction of 2 with VCl3 produces a CoIII-nitrosyl ({CoNO}8) with VV-Oxo ({VV[double bond, length as m-dash]O}3+) species, via a proposed CoII-nitrito (3, {CoII-NO2 -}) intermediate species. Further, in a separate experiment, we explored the reaction of isolated complex 3 with VCl3, which showed the generation of 4 with VV-Oxo, validating our proposed reaction sequences of OAT reactions. We ensured and characterized 3 using VCl3 as a limiting reagent, as the second-order rate constant of OAT-2 (k 2 /) is found to be ∼1420 times faster than that of the OAT-1 (k 2) reaction. Binding constant (K b) calculations also support our proposition of NO3 - to NO transformation in two successive OAT reactions, as K b(CoII-NO2 -) is higher than K b(CoII-NO3 -), hence the reaction moves in the forward direction (OAT-1). However, K b(CoII-NO2 -) is comparable to K b{CoNO}8 , and therefore sequenced the second OAT reaction (OAT-2). Mechanistic investigations of these reactions using 15N-labeled-15NO3 - and 15NO2 - revealed that the N-atom in the {CoNO}8 is derived from NO3 - ligand. This work highlights the first-ever report of VCl3 induced step-wise NO3 - reduction (NRs activity) followed by the OAT induced NO2 - reduction and then the generation of Co-nitrosyl species {CoNO}8.
