Electrostatic effects on proton coupled electron transfer in oxomanganese complexes inspired by the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II.

ABSTRACT: The influence of electrostatic interactions on the free energy of proton coupled electron transfer in biomimetic oxomanganese complexes inspired by the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) are investigated. The reported study introduces an enhanced multiconformer continuum electrostatics (MCCE) model, parametrized at the density functional theory (DFT) level with a classical valence model for the oxomanganese core. The calculated pKa's and oxidation midpoint potentials (E(m)'s) match experimental values for eight complexes, indicating that purely electrostatic contributions account for most of the observed couplings between deprotonation and oxidation state transitions. We focus on pKa's of terminal water ligands in [Mn(II/III)(H2O)6](2+/3+) (1), [Mn(III)(P)(H2O)2](3-) (2, P = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinato), [Mn2(IV,IV)(?-O)2(terpy)2(H2O)2](4+) (3, terpy = 2,2':6',2?-terpyridine), and [Mn3(IV,IV,IV)(?-O)4(phen)4(H2O)2](4+) (4, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) and the pKa's of ?-oxo bridges and Mn E(m)'s in [Mn2(?-O)2(bpy)4] (5, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl), [Mn2(?-O)2(salpn)2] (6, salpn = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine), [Mn2(?-O)2(3,5-di(Cl)-salpn)2] (7), and [Mn2(?-O)2(3,5-di(NO2)-salpn)2] (8). The analysis of complexes 6-8 highlights the strong coupling between electron and proton transfers, with any Mn oxidation lowering the pKa of an oxo bridge by 10.5 ± 0.9 pH units. The model also accounts for changes in the E(m)'s by ligand substituents, such as found in complexes 6-8, due to the electron withdrawing Cl (7) and NO2 (8). The reported study provides the foundation for analysis of electrostatic effects in other oxomanganese complexes and metalloenzymes, where proton coupled electron transfer plays a fundamental role in redox-leveling mechanisms.

Project description:Ruthenium(II) complexes having pterins of redox-active heteroaromatic coenzymes as ligands were demonstrated to perform multistep proton transfer (PT), electron transfer (ET), and proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. Thermodynamic parameters including pK(a) and bond dissociation energy (BDE) of multistep PCET processes in acetonitrile (MeCN) were determined for ruthenium-pterin complexes, [Ru(II)(Hdmp)(TPA)](ClO(4))(2) (1), [Ru(II)(Hdmdmp)(TPA)](ClO(4))(2) (2), [Ru(II)(dmp(-))(TPA)]ClO(4) (3), and [Ru(II)(dmdmp(-))(TPA)]ClO(4) (4) (Hdmp = 6,7-dimethylpterin, Hdmdmp = N,N-dimethyl-6,7-dimethylpterin, TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), all of which had been isolated and characterized before. The BDE difference between 1 and one-electron oxidized species, [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), was determined to be 89 kcal mol(-1), which was large enough to achieve hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from phenol derivatives. In the HAT reactions from phenol derivatives to [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the second-order rate constants (k) were determined to exhibit a linear relationship with BDE values of phenol derivatives with a slope (-0.4), suggesting that this HAT is simultaneous proton and electron transfer. As for HAT reaction from 2,4,6-tri-tert-buthylphenol (TBP; BDE = 79.15 kcal mol(-1)) to [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the activation parameters were determined to be DeltaH(double dagger) = 1.6 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1) and DeltaS(double dagger) = -36 +/- 2 cal K(-1) mol(-1). This small activation enthalpy suggests a hydrogen-bonded adduct formation prior to HAT. Actually, in the reaction of 4-nitrophenol with [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the second-order rate constants exhibited saturation behavior at higher concentrations of the substrate, and low-temperature ESI-MS allowed us to detect the hydrogen-bonding adduct. This also lends credence to an associative mechanism of the HAT involving intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the deprotonated dmp ligand and the phenolic O-H to facilitate the reaction. In particular, a two-point hydrogen bonding between the complex and the substrate involving the 2-amino group of the deprotonated pterin ligand effectively facilitates the HAT reaction from the substrate to the Ru(III)-pterin complex.
