Low-spin pseudotetrahedral iron(I) sites in Fe?(?-S) complexes.

ABSTRACT: Fe(I) centers in iron-sulfide complexes have little precedent in synthetic chemistry despite a growing interest in the possible role of unusually low valent iron in metalloenzymes that feature iron-sulfur clusters. A series of three diiron [(L3Fe)2(?-S)] complexes that were isolated and characterized in the low-valent oxidation states Fe(II)-S-Fe(II), Fe(II)-S-Fe(I), and Fe(I)-S-Fe(I) is described. This family of iron sulfides constitutes a unique redox series comprising three nearly isostructural but electronically distinct Fe2(?-S) species. Combined structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic studies provided strong evidence that the pseudotetrahedral iron centers undergo a transition to low-spin S=1/2 states upon reduction from Fe(II) to Fe(I). The possibility of accessing low-spin, pseudotetrahedral Fe(I) sites compatible with S(2-) as a ligand was previously unknown.

Low-Mr iron isolated from guinea pig reticulocytes as AMP-Fe and ATP-Fe complexes.

Project description:Guinea pig reticulocytes were pulse-labelled with 59Fe bound to transferrin. Haemolysates prepared from these reticulocytes were subjected to rapid (NH1)2SO1 precipitation and then chromatography on an anion-exchange resin. ATP-bound 59Fe was the dominant species in the reticulocyte cytosol; 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and GTP iron complexes were not detected despite the fact that these were stable with (NH1)2SO1 precipitation and readily detected with anion-exchange chromatography. AMP-bound Fe was a minor component of the cytosol following rapid (NH1)2SO4 precipitation, and the major component when iron was released from transferrin by haemolysates. We speculate that ATP-Fe may be degraded in the cell to permit utilization of its iron for haem synthesis.

Low-spin state of Fe in Fe-doped NiOOH electrocatalysts.

Project description:Doping with Fe boosts the electrocatalytic performance of NiOOH for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). To understand this effect, we have employed state-of-the-art electronic structure calculations and thermodynamic modeling. Our study reveals that at low concentrations Fe exists in a low-spin state. Only this spin state explains the large solubility limit of Fe and similarity of Fe-O and Ni-O bond lengths measured in the Fe-doped NiOOH phase. The low-spin state renders the surface Fe sites highly active for the OER. The low-to-high spin transition at the Fe concentration of ~ 25% is consistent with the experimentally determined solubility limit of Fe in NiOOH. The thermodynamic overpotentials computed for doped and pure materials, η = 0.42 V and 0.77 V, agree well with the measured values. Our results indicate a key role of the low-spin state of Fe for the OER activity of Fe-doped NiOOH electrocatalysts.

Influence of the nitrogen donors on nonheme iron models of superoxide reductase: high-spin Fe(III)-OOR complexes.

Project description:A new five-coordinate, (N(4)S(thiolate))Fe(II) complex, containing tertiary amine donors, [Fe(II)(Me(4)[15]aneN(4))(SPh)]BPh(4) (2), was synthesized and structurally characterized as a model of the reduced active site of superoxide reductase (SOR). Reaction of 2 with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBuOOH) at -78 degrees C led to the generation of the alkylperoxo-iron(III) complex [Fe(III)(Me(4)[15]aneN(4))(SPh)(OOtBu)](+) (2a). The nonthiolate-ligated complex, [Fe(II)(Me(4)[15]aneN(4))(OTf)(2)] (3), was also reacted with tBuOOH and yielded the corresponding alkylperoxo complex [Fe(III)(Me(4)[15]aneN(4))(OTf)(OOtBu)](+) (3a) at an elevated temperature of -23 degrees C. These species were characterized by low-temperature UV-vis, EPR, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Complexes 2a and 3a exhibit distinctly different spectroscopic signatures than the analogous alkylperoxo complexes [Fe(III)([15]aneN(4))(SAr)(OOR)](+), which contain secondary amine donors. Importantly, alkylation at nitrogen leads to a change from low-spin (S = 1/2) to high-spin (S = 5/2) of the iron(III) center. The resonance Raman data reveal that this change in spin state has a large effect on the nu(Fe-O) and nu(O-O) vibrations, and a comparison between 2a and the nonthiolate-ligated complex 3a shows that axial ligation has an additional significant impact on these vibrations. To our knowledge this study is the first in which the influence of a ligand trans to a peroxo moiety has been evaluated for a structurally equivalent pair of high-spin/low-spin peroxo-iron(III) complexes. The implications of spin state and thiolate ligation are discussed with regard to the functioning of SOR.

Comparison of high-spin and low-spin nonheme Fe(III)-OOH complexes in O-O bond homolysis and H-atom abstraction reactivities.

Project description:The geometric and electronic structures and reactivity of an S = 5/2 (HS) mononuclear nonheme (TMC)Fe(III)-OOH complex are studied by spectroscopies, calculations, and kinetics and compared with the results of previous studies of S = 1/2 (LS) Fe(III)-OOH complexes to understand parallels and differences in mechanisms of O-O bond homolysis and electrophilic H-atom abstraction reactions. The homolysis reaction of the HS [(TMC)Fe(III)-OOH](2+) complex is found to involve axial ligand coordination and a crossing to the LS surface for O-O bond homolysis. Both HS and LS Fe(III)-OOH complexes are found to perform direct H-atom abstraction reactions but with very different reaction coordinates. For the LS Fe(III)-OOH, the transition state is late in O-O and early in C-H coordinates. However, for the HS Fe(III)-OOH, the transition state is early in O-O and further along in the C-H coordinate. In addition, there is a significant amount of electron transfer from the substrate to the HS Fe(III)-OOH at transition state, but that does not occur in the LS transition state. Thus, in contrast to the behavior of LS Fe(III)-OOH, the H-atom abstraction reactivity of HS Fe(III)-OOH is found to be highly dependent on both the ionization potential and the C-H bond strength of the substrate. LS Fe(III)-OOH is found to be more effective in H-atom abstraction for strong C-H bonds, while the higher reduction potential of HS Fe(III)-OOH allows it to be active in electrophilic reactions without the requirement of O-O bond cleavage. This is relevant to the Rieske dioxygenases, which are proposed to use a HS Fe(III)-OOH to catalyze cis-dihydroxylation of a wide range of aromatic compounds.

Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy of low-spin heme relative to non-heme Fe complexes: delocalization of Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin ligand.

Project description:Hemes (iron porphyrins) are involved in a range of functions in biology, including electron transfer, small-molecule binding and transport, and O2 activation. The delocalization of the Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin ring and its effect on the redox chemistry and reactivity of these systems has been difficult to study by optical spectroscopies due to the dominant porphyrin pi-->pi(*) transitions, which obscure the metal center. Recently, we have developed a methodology that allows for the interpretation of the multiplet structure of Fe L-edges in terms of differential orbital covalency (i.e., differences in mixing of the d-orbitals with ligand orbitals) using a valence bond configuration interaction (VBCI) model. Applied to low-spin heme systems, this methodology allows experimental determination of the delocalization of the Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin (P) ring in terms of both P-->Fe sigma and pi-donation and Fe-->P pi back-bonding. We find that pi-donation to Fe(III) is much larger than pi back-bonding from Fe(II), indicating that a hole superexchange pathway dominates electron transfer. The implications of the results are also discussed in terms of the differences between heme and non-heme oxygen activation chemistry.

Transport property of ligand-driven light-induced spin-change Fe-based spin crossover complexes.

Project description:The Fe-based spin-crossover (SCO) complexes, especially the ligand-driven light-induced spin-change (LD-LISC) systems with high spin-transition temperature, are considered as the most promising building blocks for designing molecular spintronic devices due to their bistability between the high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) states. Here, we explore the transport properties of Fe(stpy)4(NCS)2 LD-LISC SCO complexes with the trans and cis configurations sandwiched between Au electrodes by performing extensive density functional theory calculations combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function method. As for the trans configuration, the current through the molecular junction with the HS state is significantly larger than that of the LS state, which indicates that this Fe-based LD-LISC SCO complex with the trans configuration could act as a molecular switch when the spin transition is triggered by external stimuli. Remarkably, we observe the nearly perfect spin-filtering effect and obvious negative differential resistance feature in the Fe(stpy)4(NCX)2 junctions with the trans and cis configurations, which is attributed by the dramatically different electronic structures of two spin channels and the bias-dependent transmission spectra, respectively. These obtained theoretical findings suggest that the examined Fe-based LD-LISC SCO complexes hold great potential in molecular spintronics.

Effects of Noncovalent Interactions on High-Spin Fe(IV)-Oxido Complexes.

Project description:High-valent nonheme FeIV-oxido species are key intermediates in biological oxidation, and their properties are proposed to be influenced by the unique microenvironments present in protein active sites. Microenvironments are regulated by noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) and electrostatic interactions; however, there is little quantitative information about how these interactions affect crucial properties of high valent metal-oxido complexes. To address this knowledge gap, we introduced a series of FeIV-oxido complexes that have the same S = 2 spin ground state as those found in nature and then systematically probed the effects of noncovalent interactions on their electronic, structural, and vibrational properties. The key design feature that provides access to these complexes is the new tripodal ligand [poat]3-, which contains phosphinic amido groups. An important structural aspect of [FeIVpoat(O)]- is the inclusion of an auxiliary site capable of binding a Lewis acid (LAII); we used this unique feature to further modulate the electrostatic environment around the Fe-oxido unit. Experimentally, studies confirmed that H-bonds and LAII s can interact directly with the oxido ligand in FeIV-oxido complexes, which weakens the Fe═O bond and has an impact on the electronic structure. We found that relatively large vibrational changes in the Fe-oxido unit correlate with small structural changes that could be difficult to measure, especially within a protein active site. Our work demonstrates the important role of noncovalent interactions on the properties of metal complexes, and that these interactions need to be considered when developing effective oxidants.

Spectroscopic and quantum chemical studies on low-spin FeIV=O complexes: Fe-O bonding and its contributions to reactivity.

Project description:High-valent FeIV=O species are key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of many mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes and have been structurally defined in model systems. Variable-temperature magnetic circular dichroism (VT-MCD) spectroscopy has been used to evaluate the electronic structures and in particular the Fe-O bonds of three FeIV=O (S = 1) model complexes, [FeIV(O)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+, [FeIV(O)(TMC)(OC(O)CF3)]+, and [FeIV(O)(N4Py)]2+. These complexes are characterized by their strong and covalent Fe-O pi-bonds. The MCD spectra show a vibronic progression in the nonbonding --> pi* excited state, providing the Fe-O stretching frequency and the Fe-O bond length in this excited state and quantifying the pi-contribution to the total Fe-O bond. Correlation of these experimental data to reactivity shows that the [FeIV(O)(N4Py)]2+ complex, with the highest reactivity toward hydrogen-atom abstraction among the three, has the strongest Fe-O pi-bond. Density functional calculations were correlated to the data and support the experimental analysis. The strength and covalency of the Fe-O pi-bond result in high oxygen character in the important frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) for this reaction, the unoccupied beta-spin d(xz/yz) orbitals, that activates these for electrophilic attack. An extension to biologically relevant FeIV=O (S = 2) enzyme intermediates shows that these can perform electrophilic attack reactions along the same mechanistic pathway (pi-FMO pathway) with similar reactivity but also have an additional reaction channel involving the unoccupied alpha-spin d(z2) orbital (sigma-FMO pathway). These studies experimentally probe the FMOs involved in the reactivity of FeIV=O (S = 1) model complexes resulting in a detailed understanding of the Fe-O bond and its contributions to reactivity.

Effects of Ligand Halogenation on the Electron Localization, Geometry and Spin State of Low-Coordinate (?-Diketiminato)iron Complexes.

Project description:This contribution explores the influences of incorporating electron-withdrawing CF3 and halide groups into ?-diketiminate iron complexes of tetrazene and isocyanide. The synthesis of a new halogenated ?-diketimine (LCF3,ClH) was accomplished via two different methods, including a novel microwave-assisted synthesis that improves the yield of the difficult condensation. Treatment of an iron(II) complex of this ligand with reductant and azide gives two diiron complexes with novel tetrazenes as bridging ligands. Structural and Mössbauer data show that the bridging tetrazene is a radical anion. The halogenation of the supporting ligand also influences iron(I) complexes of the type LFe(CNtBu)2, which are low-spin and square-planar with alkyl substituents but high-spin and pseudotetrahedral with halogen substituents. DFT calculations suggest that the changes from halogenation come from a combination of steric and electronic effects, and that the electronic influence of ligand halogenation is minor.

Photoinduced Low-Spin → High-Spin Mechanism of an Octahedral Fe(II) Complex Revealed by Synergistic Spin-Vibronic Dynamics.

Project description:The Fe(II) low-spin (LS; 1A1g, t2g6eg0) → high-spin (HS; 5T2g, t2g4eg2) light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) mechanism solely involving metal-centered states is revealed by synergistic spin-vibronic dynamics simulations. For the octahedral [Fe(NCH)6]2+ complex, we identify an initial ∼100 fs 1T1g → 3T2g intersystem crossing, controlled by vibronic coupling to antisymmetric Fe-N stretching motion. Subsequently, population branching into 3T1g, 5T2g (HS), and 1A1g (LS) is observed on a subpicosecond time scale, with the dynamics dominated by coherent Fe-N breathing wavepackets. These findings are consistent with ultrafast experiments, methodologically establish a new state of the art, and will give a strong impetus for further intriguing dynamical studies on LS → HS photoswitching.
