Formation of hybrid guanidine-stabilized bis(?-oxo)dicopper cores in solution: Electronic and steric perturbations.

ABSTRACT: A series of new hybrid peralkylated-amine-guanidine ligands based on a 1,3-propanediamine backbone and their Cu-O2 chemistry is reported. The copper(I) complexes react readily with O2 at low temperatures in aprotic solvents with weakly coordinating anions to form exclusively bis(?-oxo) dicopper species (O). Variation of the substituents on each side of the hybrid bidentate ligand highlights that less sterically demanding amine and guanidine substituents increase not only the thermal stability of the formed O cores but enhance inner-sphere phenolate hydroxylation pathways. TD-DFT analysis on selected guanidine-amine O species suggest that the additional visible feature observed is a guanidine ?*? Cu2O2 LMCT, which appears along with the classic oxo-?u*?Cu(III) and ??*? Cu(III) LMCT transitions.

Project description:The interactions between rhizosphere microorganisms and plants are important for the health and development of crops. Analysis of plant rhizosphere bacterial compositions, particularly of those with resistance to biotic/abiotic stresses, may improve their applications in sustainable agriculture. Large-scale rhizosphere samplings in the field are usually required; however, such samples, cannot be immediately frozen. We found that the storage of samples at room temperature for 2 days leads to a considerable reduction in the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) number and the indices of bacterial alpha-diversity of rhizosphere communities. In this study, in order to overcome these problems, we established a method using guanidine thiocyanate (GTC) solution for the preservation of rhizosphere samples after their collection. This method allowed the maintenance of the samples for at least 1 day at room temperature prior to their cryopreservation and was shown to be compatible with conventional DNA isolation protocols. Illumina sequencing of V3 and V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene was used to assess the feasibility and reliability of this method, and no significant differences were observed in the number of OTUs and in the Chao and Shannon indices between samples stored at -70 °C and those stored in GTC solution. Moreover, the representation of Pseudomonas spp. in samples stored in GTC solution was not significantly different from that in samples stored at -70 °C, as determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (p > 0.05). Both types of samples were shown to cluster together according to principal coordinate analysis. Furthermore, GTC solution did not affect the bacterial taxon profiles at different storage periods compared with those observed when storing the samples below -70 °C. Even incubation of thawed samples (frozen at -70 °C) for 15 min at room temperature induced minor changes in the bacterial composition. Taken together, our results demonstrated that GTC solution may provide a reliable alternative for the preservation of rhizosphere samples in the field.

Project description:The reactivity between a thiolate-ligated five-coordinate complex [FeII(SMe2N4(tren))]+ (1) and dioxygen is examined in order to determine if O2 activation, resembling that of the metalloenzyme cytochrome P450, can be promoted even when O2 binds cis, as opposed to trans, to a thiolate. Previous work in our group showed that [FeII(SMe2N4(tren))]+ (1) reacts readily with superoxide (O2-) in the presence of a proton source to afford H2O2 via an Fe(III)-OOH intermediate, thus providing a biomimetic model for the metalloenzyme superoxide reductase (SOR). Addition of O2 to 1 affords binuclear mu-oxo-bridged [FeIII(SMe2N4(tren))]2(mu2-O)(PF6)2.3MeCN (3). At low temperatures, in protic solvents, an intermediate is detected, the details of which will be the subject of a separate paper. Although the thiolate ligand does not appear to perturb the metrical parameters of the unsupported mu-oxo bridge (Fe-O= 1.807(8) A, and Fe-O-Fe= 155.3(5) degrees fall in the usual range), it decreases the magnetic coupling between the irons (J=-28 cm(-1)) and creates a rather basic oxo site. Protonation of this oxo using strong (HBF4, HCl) or weak (HOAc, NH4PF6, LutNHCl) acids results in bridge cleavage to cleanly afford the corresponding monomeric anion-ligated (OAc- (6), or Cl- (7)) or solvent-ligated (MeCN (4)) derivatives. Addition of OH- converts [FeIII(SMe2N4(tren))(MeCN2+ (4) back to mu-oxo 3. Thus, mu-oxo bridge cleavage is reversible. The protonated mu-hydroxo-bridged intermediate is not observed. In an attempt to prevent mu-oxo dimer formation, and facilitate the observation of O2-bound intermediates, a bulkier tertiary amine ligand, tren-Et4= N-(2-amino-ethyl)-N-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-N',N'-diethyl-ethane-1,2-diamine, and the corresponding [FeII(SMe2N4(tren-Et4))]+ (5) complex was synthesized and structurally characterized. Steric repulsive interactions create unusually long FeII-N(3,4) amine bonds in 5 (mean distance=2.219(1) A). The [(tren-Et4)N4SMe2]1- ligand is unable to accommodate iron in the +3 oxidation state, and consequently, in contrast to most thiolate-ligated Fe(II) complexes, [FeII(SMe2N4(tren-Et4))]+ (5) does not readily react with O2. Oxidation of 5 is irreversible, and the potential (Epa=+410 mV (vs SCE)) is anodically shifted relative to 1 (E1/2=-100 mV (vs SCE)).
