Sulfonamido tripods: tuning redox potentials via ligand modifications.

ABSTRACT: A series of FeII-OH2 complexes were synthesized with ligands based on the tetradentate sulfonamido tripod N,N',N"-[2,2',2"-nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)]-tris-({R-Ph}-sulfonamido). These complexes differ by the substituent on the aryl rings and were fully characterized, including their molecular structures via X-ray diffraction methods. All the complexes were five-coordinate with trigonal bipyramidal geometry. A linear correlation was observed between the electronic effects of each ligand, given by the Hammett constants of the para-substituents, and the potential of the FeII/FeIII redox couple, which were determined using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the range of redox potentials for the complexes spanned approximately 160 mV.

Tuning PtII -Based Donor-Acceptor Systems through Ligand Design: Effects on Frontier Orbitals, Redox Potentials, UV/Vis/NIR Absorptions, Electrochromism, and Photocatalysis.

Project description:Asymmetric platinum donor-acceptor complexes [(pimp)Pt(Q2- )] are presented in this work, in which pimp=[(2,4,6-trimethylphenylimino)methyl]pyridine and Q2- =catecholate-type donor ligands. The properties of the complexes are evaluated as a function of the donor ligands, and correlations are drawn among electrochemical, optical, and theoretical data. Special focus has been put on the spectroelectrochemical investigation of the complexes featuring sulfonyl-substituted phenylendiamide ligands, which show redox-induced linkage isomerism upon oxidation. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) as well as electron flux density analysis have been employed to rationalize the optical spectra of the complexes and their reactivity. Compound 1 ([(pimp)Pt(Q2- )] with Q2- =3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate) was shown to be an efficient photosensitizer for molecular oxygen and was subsequently employed in photochemical cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions. The results thus display new avenues for donor-acceptor systems, including their role as photocatalysts for organic transformations, and the possibility to introduce redox-induced linkage isomerism in these compounds through the use of sulfonamide substituents on the donor ligands.

Mononuclear complexes of a tridentate redox-active ligand with sulfonamido groups: structure, properties, and reactivity.

Project description:The design of molecular complexes of earth-abundant first-row transition metals that can catalyze multi-electron C-H bond activation processes is of interest for achieving efficient, low-cost syntheses of target molecules. To overcome the propensity of these metals to perform single-electron processes, redox-active ligands have been utilized to provide additional electron equivalents. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel redox active ligand, [ibaps]3-, which binds to transition metals such as FeII and CoII in a meridional fashion through the three anionic nitrogen atoms and provides additional coordination sites for other ligands. In this study, the neutral bidentate ligand 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) was used to complete the coordination spheres of the metal ions and form NEt4[MII(ibaps)bpy] (M = Fe (1) or Co (1-Co)) salts. The FeII salt exhibited rich electrochemical properties and could be chemically oxidized by 1 and 2 equiv. of ferrocenium to form singly and doubly oxidized species, respectively. The reactivity of 1 towards intramolecular C-H bond amination of aryl azides at benzylic and aliphatic carbon centers was explored, and moderate to good yields of the resulting indoline products were obtained.

Design and fine-tuning redox potentials of metalloproteins involved in electron transfer in bioenergetics.

Project description:Redox potentials are a major contributor in controlling the electron transfer (ET) rates and thus regulating the ET processes in the bioenergetics. To maximize the efficiency of the ET process, one needs to master the art of tuning the redox potential, especially in metalloproteins, as they represent major classes of ET proteins. In this review, we first describe the importance of tuning the redox potential of ET centers and its role in regulating the ET in bioenergetic processes including photosynthesis and respiration. The main focus of this review is to summarize recent work in designing the ET centers, namely cupredoxins, cytochromes, and iron-sulfur proteins, and examples in design of protein networks involved these ET centers. We then discuss the factors that affect redox potentials of these ET centers including metal ion, the ligands to metal center and interactions beyond the primary ligand, especially non-covalent secondary coordination sphere interactions. We provide examples of strategies to fine-tune the redox potential using both natural and unnatural amino acids and native and nonnative cofactors. Several case studies are used to illustrate recent successes in this area. Outlooks for future endeavors are also provided. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biodesign for Bioenergetics--the design and engineering of electronic transfer cofactors, proteins and protein networks, edited by Ronald L. Koder and J.L. Ross Anderson.

Modular bimetallic complexes with a sulfonamido-based ligand.

Project description:A series of bimetallic complexes prepared with the ligands N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine (TMEDA) and N,N',N''-[2,2',2''-nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)]tris(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonamido) ([MST]3-) is described. Four diiron compounds of the formulation (TMEDA)FeII(X)-(μ-OH)-FeIIIMST were prepared, in which the X- ligands are the anions OTf-, Br-, SCN-, or N3-. Additionally, two heterobimetallic compounds of the formulation (TMEDA)MII(OTf)-(μ-OH)-FeIIIMST (MII = CoII or NiII) were synthesized. All these compounds have similar spectroscopic and structural properties. The diiron compounds exhibit perpendicular-mode electron paramagnetic resonance spectra consistent with S = 1/2 spin ground states, which is expected for high-spin FeII and FeIII centres that are antiferromagnetically coupled. The heterobimetallic (TMEDA)NiII(OTf)-(μ-OH)-FeIIIMST complex had a spin state of S = 3/2 that also resulted from antiferromagnetic coupling between the high-spin NiII and FeIII centres. The modularity of this system is further demonstrated by the substitution of the TMEDA ligand with ethylenediamine (en); for this species two equivalents of en coordinate to the FeII centre to form [(en)2FeII-(μ-OH)-FeIIIMST]OTf. These results demonstrate that a modular bimetallic system has been developed in which the key components can be modified.

Tuning the redox non-innocence of a phenalenyl ligand toward efficient nickel-assisted catalytic hydrosilylation.

Project description:In this report, a ligand-redox assisted catalytic hydrosilylation has been investigated. A phenalenyl ligand coordinated nickel complex has been utilized as an electron reservoir to develop a base metal-assisted catalyst, which very efficiently hydrosilylates a wide variety of olefin substrates under ambient conditions. A mechanistic investigation revealed that a two-electron reduced phenalenyl based biradical nickel complex plays the key role in such catalysis. The electronic structure of the catalytically active biradical species has been interrogated using EPR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and electronic structure calculations using a DFT method. Inhibition of the reaction by a radical quencher, as well as the mass spectrometric detection of two intermediates along the catalytic loop, suggest that a single electron transfer from the ligand backbone initiates the catalysis. The strategy of utilising the redox reservoir property of the ligand ensures that the nickel is not promoted to an unfavorable oxidation state, and the fine tuning between the ligand and metal redox orbitals elicits smooth catalysis.

Heme Trafficking and Modifications during System I Cytochrome c Biogenesis: Insights from Heme Redox Potentials of Ccm Proteins.

Project description:Cytochromes c require covalent attachment of heme via two thioether bonds at conserved CXXCH motifs, a process accomplished in prokaryotes by eight integral membrane proteins (CcmABCDEFGH), termed System I. Heme is trafficked from inside the cell to outside (via CcmABCD) and chaperoned (holoCcmE) to the cytochrome c synthetase (CcmF/H). Purification of key System I pathway intermediates allowed the determination of heme redox potentials. The data support a model whereby heme is oxidized to form holoCcmE and subsequently reduced by CcmF/H for thioether formation, with Fe(2+) being required for attachment to CXXCH. Results provide insight into mechanisms for the oxidation and reduction of heme in vivo.

Systematic tuning of heme redox potentials and its effects on O2 reduction rates in a designed oxidase in myoglobin.

Project description:Cytochrome c Oxidase (CcO) is known to catalyze the reduction of O2 to H2O efficiently with a much lower overpotential than most other O2 reduction catalysts. However, methods by which the enzyme fine-tunes the reduction potential (E°) of its active site and the corresponding influence on the O2 reduction activity are not well understood. In this work, we report systematic tuning of the heme E° in a functional model of CcO in myoglobin containing three histidines and one tyrosine in the distal pocket of heme. By removing hydrogen-bonding interactions between Ser92 and the proximal His ligand and a heme propionate, and increasing hydrophobicity of the heme pocket through Ser92Ala mutation, we have increased the heme E° from 95 ± 2 to 123 ± 3 mV. Additionally, replacing the native heme b in the CcO mimic with heme a analogs, diacetyl, monoformyl, and diformyl hemes, that posses electron-withdrawing groups, resulted in higher E° values of 175 ± 5, 210 ± 6, and 320 ± 10 mV, respectively. Furthermore, O2 consumption studies on these CcO mimics revealed a strong enhancement in O2 reduction rates with increasing heme E°. Such methods of tuning the heme E° through a combination of secondary sphere mutations and heme substitutions can be applied to tune E° of other heme proteins, allowing for comprehensive investigations of the relationship between E° and enzymatic activity.

Fine structural tuning of the assembly of ECM peptide conjugates via slight sequence modifications.

Project description:The self-assembly of nanostructures from conjugates of elastin-like peptides and collagen-like peptides (ELP-CLP) has been studied as means to produce thermoresponsive, collagen-binding drug delivery vehicles. Motivated by our previous work in which ELP-CLP conjugates successfully self-assembled into vesicles and platelet-like nanostructures, here, we extend our library of ELP-CLP bioconjugates to a series of tryptophan/phenylalanine-containing ELPs and GPO-based CLPs [W2F x -b-(GPO) y ] with various domain lengths to determine the impact of these modifications on the thermoresponsiveness and morphology. The lower transition temperature of the conjugates with longer ELP or CLP domains enables the formation of well-defined nanoparticles near physiological temperature. Moreover, the morphological transition from vesicles to platelet-like nanostructures occurred when the ratio of the lengths of ELP/CLP decreased. Given the previously demonstrated ability of many ELP-CLP bioconjugates to bind to both hydrophobic drugs and collagen-containing materials, our results suggest new opportunities for designing specific thermoresponsive nanostructures for targeted biological applications.

Redox Tuning via Ligand-Induced Geometric Distortions at a YMn3O4 Cubane Model of the Biological Oxygen Evolving Complex.

Project description:The function of proteins involved in electron transfer is dependent on cofactors attaining the necessary reduction potentials. We establish a mode of cluster redox tuning through steric pressure on a synthetic model related to Photosystem II. Resembling the cuboidal [CaMn3O4] subsite of the biological oxygen evolving complex (OEC), [Mn4O4] and [YMn3O4] complexes featuring ligands of different basicity and chelating properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry. In the absence of ligand-induced distortions, increasing the basicity of the ligands results in a decrease of cluster reduction potential. Contraction of Y-oxo/Y-Mn distances by 0.1/0.15 Å enforced by a chelating ligand results in an increase of cluster reduction potential even in the presence of strongly basic donors. Related protein-induced changes in Ca-oxo/Ca-Mn distances may have similar effects in tuning the redox potential of the OEC through entatic states and may explain the cation size dependence on the progression of the S-state cycle.

Tuning antiviral CD8 T-cell response via proline-altered peptide ligand vaccination.

Project description:Viral escape from CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses correlates with disease progression and represents a significant challenge for vaccination. Here, we demonstrate that CD8+ T cell recognition of the naturally occurring MHC-I-restricted LCMV-associated immune escape variant Y4F is restored following vaccination with a proline-altered peptide ligand (APL). The APL increases MHC/peptide (pMHC) complex stability, rigidifies the peptide and facilitates T cell receptor (TCR) recognition through reduced entropy costs. Structural analyses of pMHC complexes before and after TCR binding, combined with biophysical analyses, revealed that although the TCR binds similarly to all complexes, the p3P modification alters the conformations of a very limited amount of specific MHC and peptide residues, facilitating efficient TCR recognition. This approach can be easily introduced in peptides restricted to other MHC alleles, and can be combined with currently available and future vaccination protocols in order to prevent viral immune escape.
