Project description:In this work we analyze the whole molecular mechanism for intramolecular aromatic hydroxylation through O2 activation by a Schiff hexaazamacrocyclic dicopper(I) complex, [Cu(I) 2(bsH2m)](2+). Assisted by DFT calculations, we unravel the reaction pathway for the overall intramolecular aromatic hydroxylation, i.e., from the initial O2 reaction with the dicopper(I) species to first form a Cu(I)Cu(II)-superoxo species, the subsequent reaction with the second Cu(I) center to form a μ-η(2):η(2)-peroxo-Cu(II) 2 intermediate, the concerted peroxide O-O bond cleavage and C-O bond formation, followed finally by a proton transfer to an alpha aromatic carbon that immediately yields the product [Cu(II) 2(bsH2m-O)(μ-OH)](2+).

Project description:Tyrosinases are ubiquitous binuclear copper enzymes that oxygenate to Cu(II) 2 O2 cores bonded by three histidine Nτ-imidazoles per Cu center. Synthetic monodentate imidazole-bonded Cu(II) 2 O2 species self-assemble in a near quantitative manner at -125 °C, but Nπ-ligation has been required. Herein, we disclose the syntheses and reactivity of three Nτ-imidazole bonded Cu(II) 2 O2 species at solution temperatures of -145 °C, which was achieved using a eutectic mixture of THF and 2-MeTHF. The addition of anionic phenolates affords a Cu(III) 2 O2 species, where the bonded phenolates hydroxylate to catecholates in high yields. Similar Cu(III) 2 O2 intermediates are not observed using Nπ-bonded Cu(II) 2 O2 species, hinting that Nτ-imidazole ligation, conserved in all characterized Ty, has functional advantage beyond active-site flexibility. Substrate accessibility to the oxygenated Cu2 O2 core and stabilization of a high oxidation state of the copper centers are suggested from these minimalistic models.

Project description:CuII2(μ-η2:η2-peroxido) and CuIII2(μ-oxido)2 cores represent key intermediates in copper/dioxygen chemistry, and they are mechanistically important for biological hydroxylation and oxidation reactions mediated by dinuclear (type III) copper metalloenzymes. While the exact nature of the active species in different enzymes is still under debate, shifting equilibria between Cu x /O2 species is increasingly recognized as a means of switching between distinct reactivity patterns of these intermediates. Herein we report comprehensive spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational analysis of a family of synthetic CuII2(μ-η2:η2-peroxido) and CuIII2(μ-oxido)2 dicopper complexes with a bis(oxazoline) (BOX) capping ligand. In particular, we demonstrate that a reversible peroxido/bis(μ-oxido) interconversion of the [Cu2O2] core can be triggered by peripheral (de)protonation events on the ligand backbone. As the copper ions in the enzymes are typically supported by histidine imidazoles that offer a backside N atom amenable to potential (de)protonation, it is well conceivable that the shifting of equilibria between the [Cu2O2] species in response to changes in local pH is biologically relevant.

Project description:Cuprous and cupric complexes with the new imidazolyl containing tripodal tetradentate ligands {L(MIm), (1H-imidazol-4-yl)-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)methanamine, and L(EIm), 2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine}, have been investigated to probe differences in their chemistry, especially in copper(I)-dioxygen chemistry, compared to that already known for the pyridyl analogue TMPA, tris(2-pyridyl)methyl)amine. Infrared (IR) stretching frequencies obtained from carbon monoxide adducts of [(L(MIm))Cu(I)](+) (1a) and [(L(EIm))Cu(I)](+) (2a) show that the imidazolyl donor is stronger than its pyridyl analogue. Electrochemical data suggest differences in the binding constant of Cu(II) to L(EIm) compared to TMPA and L(MIm), reflecting geometric changes. Oxygenation of [(L(MIm))Cu(I)](+) (1a) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF) solvent at -128 degrees C leads to an intensely purple colored species with a UV-vis spectrum characteristic of an end-on bound peroxodicopper(II) complex [{(L(MIm))Cu(II)}(2)(mu-1,2-O(2)(2-))](2+) (1b(P)) {lambda(max) = 528 nm}, very similar to the previously well characterized complex [{(TMPA)Cu(II)}(2)(mu-1,2-O(2)(2-))](2+) {lambda(max) = 520 nm (epsilon = 12 000 M(-1) cm(-1)), in MeTHF; resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy: nu(O-O) = 832 (Delta((18)O(2)) = -44) cm(-1)}. In the low-temperature oxygenation of 2a, benchtop (-128 degrees C) and stopped-flow (-90 degrees C) experiments reveal the formation of an initial superoxo-Cu(II) species [(L(EIm))Cu(II)(O(2)(*-))](+) (2b(S)), lambda(max) = 431 nm in THF) . This converts to the low-temperature stable peroxo complex [{(L(EIm))Cu(II)}(2)(mu-1,2-O(2)(2-))](2+) (2b(P)) {rR spectroscopy: nu(O-O) = 822 (Delta((18)O(2)) = -46) cm(-1)}. Complex 2b(P) possess distinctly reduced Cu-O and O-O stretching frequencies and a red-shifted UV-vis feature {to lambda(max) = 535 nm (epsilon = 11 000 M(-1) cm(-1))} compared to the TMPA analogue due to a distortion from trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) to a square pyramidal ligand field. This distortion is supported by the structural characterization of related ligand-copper(II) complexes: A stable tetramer cluster complex [(mu(2)-L(EIm-))(4)(Cu(II))(4)](4+), obtained from thermal decomposition of 2b(P) (with formation of H(2)O(2)), also exhibits a distorted square pyramidal Cu(II) ion geometry as does the copper(II) complex [(L(EIm))Cu(II)(CH(3)CN)](2+) (2c), characterized by X-ray crystallography and solution electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

Project description:Two dicopper(I) complexes containing tertiary N-methylated hexaaza ligands which impose different steric constraints to the Cu ions have been synthesized, and their reactivity toward O2 has been compared with a mononuclear related system, highlighting the importance of cooperative effects between the metal centers in O2 activation.

Project description:The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(2)O(4))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), was obtained as an unexpected product under hydro-thermal conditions. The Cu(II) atom is in a Jahn-Teller-distorted octa-hedral environment formed by one imidazole N atom and five O atoms from three oxalate anions. The two independent oxalate anions are situated on centres of inversion and coordinate to the Cu(II) atom in two different modes, viz. bidentate and monodentate. The bidentate anions bridge two Cu(II) atoms, whereas the monodentate anions bridge four Cu(II) atoms, leading to a layered arrangement parallel to (100). These layers are further linked into a final three-dimensional network structure via inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The title compound is isotypic with the Zn analogue.

Project description:A new family of dicopper(I) complexes [CuI2RL](X)2 (R=H, 1X, R=tBu, 2X and R=NO2, 3X, X=CF3SO3, ClO4, SbF6, or BArF, BArF=[B{3,5-(CF3)2C6H3}4]-), where RL is a Schiff-base ligand containing two tridentate binding sites linked by a xylyl spacer, has been prepared and characterized, and its reaction with O2 has been studied. The complexes were designed with the aim of reproducing structural aspects of the active site of type 3 dicopper proteins; they contain two three-coordinate copper sites and a rather flexible podand ligand backbone. The solid-state structures of 1ClO4, 2CF3SO3, 2ClO4, and 3BArF.CH3CN have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. 1ClO4 adopts a polymeric structure in the solid state while 2CF3SO3, 2ClO4, and 3BArF.CH3CN are monomeric. The complexes have been studied in solution by means of 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy, which put forward the presence of dynamic processes. 1-3BArF and 1-3CF3SO3 in acetone react rapidly with O2 to generate metaestable [CuIII2(mu-O)2(RL)]2+ 1-3(O2) and [CuIII2(mu-O)2(CF3SO3)(RL)]+ 1-3(O2)(CF3SO3) species, respectively, that have been characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and resonance Raman analysis. Instead, reaction of 1-3BArF with O2 in CH2Cl2 results in intermolecular O2 binding. DFT methods have been used to study the chemical identities and structural parameters of the O2 adducts, and the relative stability of the CuIII2(mu-O)2 form with respect to the CuII2(mu-eta2:eta2-O2) isomer. The reaction of 1X, X = CF3SO3 and BArF, with O2 in acetone has been studied by stopped-flow UV-vis exhibiting an unexpected very fast reaction rate (k=3.82(4)x10(3) M-1 s-1, DeltaH=4.9+/-0.5 kJ.mol-1, DeltaS=-148+/-5 J.K-1.mol-1), nearly 3 orders of magnitude faster than in the parent [CuI2(m-XYLMeAN)]2+. Thermal decomposition of 1-3(O2) does not result in aromatic hydroxylation. The mechanism and kinetics of O2 binding to 1X (X=CF3SO3 and BArF) are discussed and compared with those associated with selected examples of reported models of O2-processing copper proteins. A synergistic role of the copper ions in O2 binding and activation is clearly established from this analysis.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(2)(N(3))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), each Cu(I) atom is coordinated by two symmetry-related azide anions and 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligands in a strongly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Cu atom and the azide anion occupy general positions while the bipy mol-ecule is located on a centre of inversion. Each two symmetry-related copper(I) cations and two symmetry-related azide anions form dimers, which are additionally connected by the anions into layers. These layers are linked by the 4,4'-bipyridine ligands into a three-dimensional coordination network.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, [U(2)(NO(3))(2)O(4)(O(2))(C(4)H(7)NO)(4)], two UO(2) (2+) ions are connected by a μ-η(2):η(2)-O(2) unit. The O(2) unit shows 'side-on' coordination to both U atoms. An inversion center is located at the midpoint of the O-O bond in the O(2) unit, affording a centrosymmetrically expanded dimeric structure. The U-O(axial) bond lengths are 1.777 (4) Å and 1.784 (4) Å, indicating that the oxidation state of U is exclusively 6+, i.e., UO(2) (2+). Furthermore, the O-O distance is 1.492 (8) Å, which is typical of peroxide, O(2) (2-). The U atom is eight-coordinated in a hexa-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. The coordinating atoms of the nitrate and pyrrolidine-2-one ligands and the μ-η(2):η(2)-O(2) (2-) unit are located in the equatorial plane and form an irregular hexa-gon. An inter-molecular hydrogen bond is found between N-H of the pyrrolidine-2-one ligand and the coordinating O of the same ligand in a neighboring complex. A second inter-molecular hydrogen bond is found between the N-H of the other pyrrolidine-2-one ligand and one of the uranyl oxido atoms.

Project description:The title compound, [Co(2)(O(2))(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(4)](ClO(4))(4), consists of centrosymmetric binuclear cations and perchlorate anions. Two Co(III) atoms, which have a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination, are connected through a peroxido bridge; the O-O distance is 1.476 (3) Å. Both acetonitrile ligands are situated in a trans position with respect to the O-O bridge. In the crystal, the complex cations are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between ethyl-endiamine NH groups and O atoms from the perchlorate anions and peroxide O atoms.
