Effects of Lewis Acidic Metal Ions (M) on Oxygen-Atom Transfer Reactivity of Heterometallic Mn3MO4 Cubane and Fe3MO(OH) and Mn3MO(OH) Clusters.

ABSTRACT: The modulation of the reactivity of metal oxo species by redox inactive metals has attracted much interest due to the observation of redox inactive metal effects on processes involving electron transfer both in nature (the oxygen-evolving complex of Photosystem II) and in heterogeneous catalysis (mixed-metal oxides). Studies of small-molecule models of these systems have revealed numerous instances of effects of redox inactive metals on electron- and group-transfer reactivity. However, the heterometallic species directly involved in these transformations have rarely been structurally characterized and are often generated in situ. We have previously reported the preparation and structural characterization of multiple series of heterometallic clusters based on Mn3 and Fe3 cores and described the effects of Lewis acidity of the heterometal incorporated in these complexes on cluster reduction potential. To determine the effects of Lewis acidity of redox inactive metals on group transfer reactivity in structurally well-defined complexes, we studied [Mn3MO4], [Mn3MO(OH)], and [Fe3MO(OH)] clusters in oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions with phosphine substrates. The qualitative rate of OAT correlates with the Lewis acidity of the redox inactive metal, confirming that Lewis acidic metal centers can affect the chemical reactivity of metal oxo species by modulating cluster electronics.

Project description:We report the syntheses, crystal structures, and characterization of the novel cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes [Tpm*MoVIO2Cl](MoO2Cl3) (1) and [Tpm*MoVIO2Cl](ClO4) (2), which are supported by the charge-neutral tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane (Tpm*) ligand. A comparison between isostructural [Tpm*MoVIO2Cl]+ and Tp*MoVIO2Cl [Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate] reveals the effects of one unit of overall charge difference on their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties, geometric and electronic structures, and O-atom-transfer (OAT) reactivities, providing new insight into pyranopterin molybdoenzyme OAT reactivity. Computational studies of these molecules indicate that the delocalized positive charge lowers the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy of cationic [Tpm*MoO2Cl]+ relative to Tp*MoO2Cl. Despite their virtually identical geometric structures revealed by crystal structures, the MoVI/MoV redox potential of 2 is increased by 350 mV relative to that of Tp*MoVIO2Cl. This LUMO stabilization also contributes to an increased effective electrophilicity of [Tpm*MoO2Cl]+ relative to that of Tp*MoO2Cl, resulting in a more favorable resonant interaction between the molydenum complex LUMO and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the PPh3 substrate. This leads to a greater thermodynamic driving force, an earlier transition state, and a lowered activation barrier for the orbitally controlled first step of the OAT reaction in the Tpm* system relative to the Tp* system. An Eyring plot analysis shows that this initial step yields an O≡MoIV-OPPh3 intermediate via an associative transition state, and the reaction is ∼500-fold faster for 2 than for Tp*MoO2Cl. The second step of the OAT reaction entails solvolysis of the O≡MoIV-OPPh3 intermediate to afford the solvent-substituted MoIV product and is 750-fold faster for the Tpm* system at -15 °C compared to the Tp* system. The observed rate enhancement for the second step is ascribed to a switch of the reaction mechanism from a dissociative pathway for the Tp* system to an alternative associative pathway for the Tpm* system. This is due to a more Lewis acidic MoIV center in the Tpm* system.
