All three Fe(ii) vinyl species were protonated with H[BArF4] to form the corresponding Fe(iv) alkylidene cations, [(bavp)Fe(PMe3)2][BArF4] (4-PMe3), [(piap)Fe(PMe3)3][BArF4] (5), and [(pipad)Fe(PMe3)3][BArF4] (6). Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements on the formally Fe(ii) and Fe(iv) derivatives revealed isomer shifts within 0.1 mm s-1, reflecting the similarity in their bond distances.

Project description:Recently, we reported the reaction of the (mu-oxo)diiron(III) complex 1 ([Fe(III)(2)(mu-O)(mu-O(2)H(3))(L)(2)](3+), L = tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridyl-2-methyl)amine) with 1 equiv of H(2)O(2) to yield a diiron(IV) intermediate, 2 (Xue, G.; Fiedler, A. T.; Martinho, M.; Munck, E.; Que, L., Jr. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2008, 105, 20615-20). Upon treatment with HClO(4), complex 2 converted to a species with an Fe(IV)(2)(mu-O)(2) diamond core that serves as the only synthetic model to date for the diiron(IV) core proposed for intermediate Q of soluble methane monooxygenase. Here we report detailed Mossbauer and density functional theory (DFT) studies of 2. The Mossbauer studies reveal that 2 has distinct Fe(IV) sites, a and b. Studies in applied magnetic fields show that the spins of sites a and b (S(a) = S(b) = 1) are ferromagnetically coupled to yield a ground multiplet with S = 2. Analysis of the applied field spectra of the exchange-coupled system yields for site b a set of parameters that matches those obtained for the mononuclear [LFe(IV)(O)(NCMe)](2+) complex, showing that site b (labeled Fe(O)) has a terminal oxo group. Using the zero-field splitting parameters of [LFe(IV)(O)(NCMe)](2+) for our analysis of 2, we obtained parameters for site a that closely resemble those reported for the nonoxo Fe(IV) complex [(beta-BPMCN)Fe(IV)(OH)(OO(t)Bu)](2+), suggesting that a (labeled Fe(OH)) coordinates a hydroxo group. A DFT optimization performed on 2 yielded an Fe-Fe distance of 3.39 A and an Fe-(mu-O)-Fe angle of 131 degrees , in good agreement with the results of our previous EXAFS study. The DFT calculations reproduce the Mossbauer parameters (A-tensors, electric field gradient, and isomer shift) of 2 quite well, including the observation that the largest components of the electric field gradients of Fe(O) and Fe(OH) are perpendicular. The ferromagnetic behavior of 2 seems puzzling given that the Fe-(mu-O)-Fe angle is large but can be explained by noting that the orbital structures of Fe(O) and Fe(OH) are such that the unpaired electrons at the two sites delocalize into orthogonal orbitals at the bridging oxygen, rationalizing the ferromagnetic behavior of 2. Thus, inequivalent coordinations at Fe(O) and Fe(OH) define magnetic orbitals favorable for ferromagnetic ineractions.

Project description:High-spin Fe(IV)-oxo species are known to be kinetically competent oxidants in non-heme iron enzymes. The properties of these oxidants are not as well understood as the corresponding intermediate-spin oxidants of heme complexes. The present work gives a detailed characterization of the structurally similar complexes [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-), [Fe(III)H(3)buea(O)](2-), and [Fe(III)H(3)buea(OH)](-) (H(3)buea = tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethylene]aminato) using Mössbauer and dual-frequency/dual-mode electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. The [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) complex has a high-spin (S = 2) configuration imposed by the C(3)-symmetric ligand. The EPR spectra of the [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) complex presented here represent the first documented examples of an EPR signal from an Fe(IV)-oxo complex, demonstrating the ability to detect and quantify Fe(IV) species with EPR spectroscopy. Quantitative simulations allowed the determination of the zero-field parameter, D = +4.7 cm(-1), and the species concentration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the zero-field parameter were found to be in agreement with the experimental value and indicated that the major contribution to the D value is from spin-orbit coupling of the ground state with an excited S = 1 electronic configuration at 1.2 eV. (17)O isotope enrichment experiments allowed the determination of the hyperfine constants ((17)O)A(z) = 10 MHz for [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) and ((17)O)A(y) = 8 MHz, ((17)O)A(z) = 12 MHz for [Fe(III)H(3)buea(OH)](-). The isotropic hyperfine constant (((17)O)A(iso) = -16.8 MHz) was derived from the experimental value to allow a quantitative determination of the spin polarization (ρ(p) = 0.56) of the oxo p orbitals of the Fe-oxo bond in [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-). This is the first experimental determination for non-heme complexes and indicates significant covalency in the Fe-oxo bond. High-field Mössbauer spectroscopy gave an (57)Fe A(dip) tensor of (+5.6, +5.3, -10.9) MHz and A(iso) = -25.9 MHz for the [Fe(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) complex, and the results of DFT calculations were in agreement with the nuclear parameters of the complex.

Project description:Two models (I and II) for the active site structure of class-I ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) intermediate X in subunit R2 have been studied in this paper, using broken-symmetry density functional theory (DFT) incorporated with the conductor like screening (COSMO) solvation model and with the finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field (PB-SCRF) calculations. Only one of the bridging groups between the two iron centers is different between model-I and model-II. Model-I contains two mu-oxo bridges, while model-II has one bridging oxo and one bridging hydroxo. These are large active site models including up to the fourth coordination shell H-bonding residues. Mössbauer and ENDOR hyperfine property calculations show that model-I is more likely to represent the active site structure of RNR-X. However, energetically our pK(a) calculations at first highly favored the bridging oxo and hydroxo (in model-II) structure of the diiron center rather than having the di-oxo bridge (in model-I). Since the Arg236 and the nearby Lys42, which are very close to the diiron center, are on the protein surface of RNR-R2, it is highly feasible that one or two anion groups in solution would interact with the positively charged side chains of Arg236 and Lys42. The anion group(s) can be a reductant, phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, and other negatively charged groups existing in biological environments or in the buffer of the experiment. Since sulfate ions certainly exist in the buffer of the ENDOR experiment, we have examined the effect of the sulfate (SO(4)(2-), surrounded by explicit water molecules) H-bonding to the side chain of Arg236. We find that when sulfate interacts with Arg236, the carboxylate group of Asp237 tends to be protonated, and once Asp237 is protonated, the Fe(iii)Fe(iv) center in X favors the di-oxo bridge (model-I). This would explain that the ENDOR observed RNR-X active site structure is likely to be represented by model-I rather than model-II.
