A five-coordinate phosphino/acetate iron(II) scaffold that binds N2, N2H2, N2H4, and NH3 in the sixth site.

ABSTRACT: A family of iron(II) complexes that coordinate dinitrogen, diazene, hydrazine, and ammonia are presented. This series of complexes is unusual in that the complexes within it feature a common auxiliary ligand set and differ only by virtue of the nitrogenous N(x)H(y) ligand that occupies the sixth binding site. The ability of an iron center to bind N(2), N(2)H(2), N(2)H(4), and NH(3) is important to establish in the context of evaluating catalytic N(2) reduction schemes that invoke these nitrogenous species. Such a scenario has been proposed as an iron-mediated, alternating reduction scheme within the cofactor of nitrogenase enzymes.

Low-temperature N2 binding to two-coordinate L2Fe(0) enables reductive trapping of L2FeN2(-) and NH3 generation.

Project description:The two-coordinate [(CAAC)2Fe] complex [CAAC = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene] binds dinitrogen at low temperature (T<-80?°C). The resulting putative three-coordinate N2 complex, [(CAAC)2Fe(N2)], was trapped by one-electron reduction to its corresponding anion [(CAAC)2FeN2](-) at low temperature. This complex was structurally characterized and features an activated dinitrogen unit which can be silylated at the ?-nitrogen atom. The redox-linked complexes [(CAAC)2Fe(I)][BAr(F)4], [(CAAC)2Fe(0)], and [(CAAC)2Fe(-I)N2](-) were all found to be active for the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia upon treatment with KC8 and HBAr(F)4?2?Et2O at -95?°C [up to (3.4±1.0)?equivalents of ammonia per Fe center]. The N2 reduction activity is highly temperature dependent, with significant N2 reduction to NH3 only occurring below -78?°C. This reactivity profile tracks with the low temperatures needed for N2 binding and an otherwise unavailable electron-transfer step to generate reactive [(CAAC)2FeN2](-) .

Mononuclear five- and six-coordinate iron hydrazido and hydrazine species.

Project description:This article describes the synthesis and characterization of several low-spin iron(II) complexes that coordinate hydrazine (N(2)H(4)), hydrazido (N(2)H(3)(-)), and ammonia. The sterically encumbered tris(di-meta-terphenylphosphino)borate ligand, [PhBP(mter)(3)](-), is introduced to provide access to species that cannot be stabilized with the [PhBP(Ph)(3)](-) ligand ([PhBP(R)(3)](-) = PhB(CH(2)PR(2))(3)(-)). Treatment of [PhBP(mter)(3)]FeMe with hydrazine generates the unusual 5-coordinate hydrazido complex [PhBP(mter)(3)]Fe(η(2)-N(2)H(3)) (1), in which the hydrazido serves as an L(2)X-type ligand. Upon coordination of an L-type ligand, the hydrazido shifts to an LX-type ligand, generating [PhBP(mter)(3)]Fe(L)(η(2)-N(2)H(3)) (L = N(2)H(4) (2) or NH(3) (3)). In contrast, treatment of [PhBP(Ph)(3)]FeMe with hydrazine forms the adduct [PhBP(Ph)(3)]Fe(Me)(η(2)-N(2)H(4)) (5). Complex 5 is thermally unstable to methane loss, generating intermediate [PhBP(Ph)(3)]Fe(η(2)-N(2)H(3)), which undergoes bimolecular coupling to produce {[PhBP(Ph)(3)]Fe}(2)(μ-η(1):η(1)-N(2)H(4))(μ-η(2):η(2)-N(2)H(2)). The oxidation of these and related hydrazine and hydrazido species is also presented. For example, oxidation of 1 or 5 with Pb(OAc)(4) results in disproportionation of the N(2)H(x) ligand (x = 3, 4), and formation of [PhBP(R)(3)]Fe(NH(3))(OAc) (R = Ph (9) and mter (11)).

High-Performance N2-to-NH3 Conversion Electrocatalyzed by Mo2C Nanorod.

Project description:The synthesis of NH3 is mainly dominated by the traditional energy-consuming Haber-Bosch process with a mass of CO2 emission. Electrochemical conversion of N2 to NH3 emerges as a carbon-free process for the sustainable artificial N2 reduction reaction (NRR), but requires an efficient and stable electrocatalyst. Here, we report that the Mo2C nanorod serves as an excellent NRR electrocatalyst for artificial N2 fixation to NH3 with strong durability and acceptable selectivity under ambient conditions. Such a catalyst shows a high Faradaic efficiency of 8.13% and NH3 yield of 95.1 ?g h-1 mg-1 cat at -0.3 V in 0.1 M HCl, surpassing the majority of reported electrochemical conversion NRR catalysts. Density functional theory calculation was carried out to gain further insight into the catalytic mechanism involved.

Five- to six-coordination in (nitrosyl)iron(II) porphyrinates: effects of binding the sixth ligand.

Project description:We report structural and spectroscopic data for a series of six-coordinate (nitrosyl)iron(II) porphyrinates. The structures of three tetraphenylporphyrin complexes [Fe(TPP)(NO)(L)], where L = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, 1-methylimidazole, 4-methylpiperidine, are reported here to a high degree of precision and allow observation of several previously unobserved structural features. The tight range of bonding parameters for the [FeNO] moiety for these three complexes suggests a canonical representation for six-coordinate systems (Fe-N(p) = 2.007 A, Fe-N(NO) = 1.753 A, angle FeNO = 138.5 degrees ). Comparison of these data with those obtained previously for five-coordinate systems allows the precise determination of the structural effects of binding a sixth ligand. These include lengthening of the Fe-N(NO) bond and a decrease in the Fe-N-O angle. Several other aspects of the geometry of these systems are also discussed, including the first examples of off-axis tilting of a nitrosyl ligand in a six-coordinate [FeNO](7) heme system. We also report the first examples of Mössbauer studies for these complexes. Measurements have been made in several applied magnetic fields as well as in zero field. The spectra differ from those of their five-coordinate analogues. To obtain reasonable fits to applied magnetic field data, rotation of the electrical field gradient is required, consistent with differing g-tensor orientations in the five- vs six-coordinate species.

Catalytic reduction of N2 to NH3 by an Fe-N2 complex featuring a C-atom anchor.

Project description:While recent spectroscopic studies have established the presence of an interstitial carbon atom at the center of the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of MoFe-nitrogenase, its role is unknown. We have pursued Fe-N2 model chemistry to explore a hypothesis whereby this C-atom (previously denoted as a light X-atom) may provide a flexible trans interaction with an Fe center to expose an Fe-N2 binding site. In this context, we now report on Fe complexes of a new tris(phosphino)alkyl (CP(iPr)3) ligand featuring an axial carbon donor. It is established that the iron center in this scaffold binds dinitrogen trans to the C(alkyl)-atom anchor in three distinct and structurally characterized oxidation states. Fe-C(alkyl) lengthening is observed upon reduction, reflective of significant ionic character in the Fe-C(alkyl) interaction. The anionic (CP(iPr)3)FeN2(-) species can be functionalized by a silyl electrophile to generate (CP(iPr)3)Fe-N2SiR3. (CP(iPr)3)FeN2(-) also functions as a modest catalyst for the reduction of N2 to NH3 when supplied with electrons and protons at -78 °C under 1 atm N2 (4.6 equiv NH3/Fe).

Nuclear resonance vibrational spectra of five-coordinate imidazole-ligated iron(II) porphyrinates.

Project description:Nuclear resonance vibrational spectra have been obtained for six five-coordinate imidazole-ligated iron(II) porphyrinates, [Fe(Por)(L)] (Por = tetraphenylporphyrinate, octaethylporphyrinate, tetratolylporphyrinate, or protoporphyrinate IX and L = 2-methylimidazole or 1,2-dimethylimidazole). Measurements have been made on both powder and oriented crystal samples. The spectra are dominated by strong signals around 200-300 cm(-1). Although the in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations are seriously overlapped, oriented crystal spectra allow their deconvolution. Thus, oriented crystal experimental data, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, enable the assignment of key vibrations in the spectra. Molecular dynamics are also discussed. The nature of the Fe-N(Im) vibrations has been elaborated further than was possible from resonance Raman studies. Our study suggests that the Fe motions are coupled with the porphyrin core and peripheral groups motions. Both peripheral groups and their conformations have significant influence on the vibrational spectra (position and shape).

Electronic configuration of five-coordinate high-spin pyrazole-ligated iron(II) porphyrinates.

Project description:Pyrazole, a neutral nitrogen ligand and an isomer of imidazole, has been used as a fifth ligand to prepare two new species, [Fe(TPP)(Hdmpz)] and [Fe(Tp-OCH(3)PP)(Hdmpz)] (Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole), the first structurally characterized examples of five-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates with a nonimidazole neutral ligand. Both complexes are characterized by X-ray crystallography, and structures show common features for five-coordinate iron(II) species, such as an expanded porphyrinato core, large equatorial Fe-N(p) bond distances, and a significant out-of-plane displacement of the iron(II) atom. The Fe-N(pyrazole) and Fe-N(p) bond distances are similar to those in imidazole-ligated species. These suggest that the coordination abilities to iron(II) for imidazole and pyrazole are very similar even though pyrazole is less basic than imidazole. Mo?ssbauer studies reveal that [Fe(TPP)(Hdmpz)] has the same behavior as those of imidazole-ligated species, such as negative quadrupole splitting values and relative large asymmetry parameters. Both the structures and the Mo?ssbauer spectra suggest pyrazole-ligated five-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates have the same electronic configuration as imidazole-ligated species.

Evaluating molecular cobalt complexes for the conversion of N2 to NH3.

Project description:Well-defined molecular catalysts for the reduction of N2 to NH3 with protons and electrons remain very rare despite decades of interest and are currently limited to systems featuring molybdenum or iron. This report details the synthesis of a molecular cobalt complex that generates superstoichiometric yields of NH3 (>200% NH3 per Co-N2 precursor) via the direct reduction of N2 with protons and electrons. While the NH3 yields reported herein are modest by comparison to those of previously described iron and molybdenum systems, they intimate that other metals are likely to be viable as molecular N2 reduction catalysts. Additionally, a comparison of the featured tris(phosphine)borane Co-N2 complex with structurally related Co-N2 and Fe-N2 species shows how remarkably sensitive the N2 reduction performance of potential precatalysts is. These studies enable consideration of the structural and electronic effects that are likely relevant to N2 conversion activity, including the π basicity, charge state, and geometric flexibility.

Conversion of Fe-NH2 to Fe-N2 with release of NH3.

Project description:Tris(phosphine)borane ligated Fe(I) centers featuring N(2)H(4), NH(3), NH(2), and OH ligands are described. Conversion of Fe-NH(2) to Fe-NH(3)(+) by the addition of acid, and subsequent reductive release of NH(3) to generate Fe-N(2), is demonstrated. This sequence models the final steps of proposed Fe-mediated nitrogen fixation pathways. The five-coordinate trigonal bipyramidal complexes described are unusual in that they adopt S = 3/2 ground states and are prepared from a four-coordinate, S = 3/2 trigonal pyramidal precursor.

Computational Insights into Five- versus Six-Coordinate Iron Center in Ferrous Soybean Lipoxygenase.

Project description:Soybean lipoxygenase (SLO) serves as a prototype for fundamental understanding of hydrogen tunneling in enzymes. Its reactivity depends on the active site structure around a mononuclear, nonheme iron center. The available crystal structures indicate five-coordinate iron, while magnetic circular dichroism experiments suggest significant populations of both five-coordinate (5C) and six-coordinate (6C) iron in ferrous SLO. Quantum mechanical calculations of gas phase models produce only 6C geometries. Herein mixed quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations are employed to identify and characterize the 5C and 6C geometries. These calculations highlight the importance of the protein environment, particularly two Gln residues in a hydrogen-bonding network with Asn694, the ligand that can dissociate. This hydrogen-bonding network is similar in both geometries, but twisting of a dihedral angle in Asn694 moves its oxygen away from the iron in the 5C geometry. These insights are important for future simulations of SLO.
