Oxygen-atom transfer reactivity of axially ligated Mn(V)-oxo complexes: evidence for enhanced electrophilic and nucleophilic pathways.

ABSTRACT: Addition of anionic donors to the manganese(V)-oxo corrolazine complex Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) has a dramatic influence on oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) reactivity with thioether substrates. The six-coordinate anionic [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) complexes (X = F(-), N3(-), OCN(-)) exhibit a ?5 cm(-1) downshift of the Mn-O vibrational mode relative to the parent Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) complex as seen by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Product analysis shows that the oxidation of thioether substrates gives sulfoxide product, consistent with single OAT. A wide range of OAT reactivity is seen for the different axial ligands, with the following trend determined from a comparison of their second-order rate constants for sulfoxidation: five-coordinate ? thiocyanate ? nitrate < cyanate < azide < fluoride ? cyanide. This trend correlates with DFT calculations on the binding of the axial donors to the parent Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) complex. A Hammett study was performed with p-X-C6H4SCH3 derivatives and [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) (X = CN(-) or F(-)) as the oxidant, and unusual "V-shaped" Hammett plots were obtained. These results are rationalized based upon a change in mechanism that hinges on the ability of the [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) complexes to function as either an electrophilic or weak nucleophilic oxidant depending upon the nature of the para-X substituents. For comparison, the one-electron-oxidized cationic Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz(•+)) complex yielded a linear Hammett relationship for all substrates (? = -1.40), consistent with a straightforward electrophilic mechanism. This study provides new, fundamental insights regarding the influence of axial donors on high-valent Mn(V)(O) porphyrinoid complexes.

Project description:The thermodynamic properties of structurally similar Mn(III) and Mn(IV) complexes have been reinvestigated to understand their reactivity with substrates having C-H bonds. The complexes have the general formula [MnH(3)buea(O)](n-), where [H(3)buea](3-) is the tripodal ligand, tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethylene]aminato. These complexes are unique because of the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding (H-bond) network surrounding the Mn-oxo units. The redox potentials for the Mn(III/IV)(O) couple was incorrectly assigned in earlier reports: the corrected value is -1.0 V vs Cp(2)Fe(+)/Cp(2)Fe in DMSO, while the Mn(IV/V)(O) process is -0.076 under the same conditions. The oxo ligand in the Mn(III)(O) complexes is basic with a pK(a) of 28.3; the basicity of the terminal oxo ligand in the Mn(IV)(O) complex is estimated to be approximately 15. These values were used to re-evalulate the O-H bond dissociation energy (BDE(OH)) of the corresponding Mn(II/III)-OH complexes: BDE(OH) values of 89 and 77 kcal/mol were determined for [Mn(III)H(3)buea(OH)](-) and [Mn(II)H(3)buea(OH)](2-), respectively. Both Mn(O) complexes react with 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) to produce anthracene in nearly quantitative yields. This is surprising based on the low redox potiental of the complexes, suggesting the basicity of the oxo ligand is a major contributor to the observed reactivity. In contrast to the thermodynamic results, a comparative kinetic investigation found that the Mn(III)(O) complex reacts nearly 20 times faster than the Mn(IV)(O) complex. Activation parameters, determined from an Eyring analysis, found that the entropy of activation is significantly different between the two systems (DeltaDeltaS(++) = -35 eu, where DeltaDeltaS(++) = DeltaS(++)(Mn(IV)(O)) - DeltaS(++)(Mn(III)(O)). This unusual kinetic behavior can be explained in the context of the basicity of the oxo ligands that leads to different mechanisms: for [Mn(III)H(3)buea(O)](2-) a proton transfer-electron transfer mechanism is proposed, whereas for [Mn(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) a hydrogen-atom transfer pathway is likely.
