Hydrazine Capture and N-N Bond Cleavage at Iron Enabled by Flexible Appended Lewis Acids.

Project description:Incorporation of two 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl substituents within the secondary coordination sphere of a pincer-based Fe(II) complex provides Lewis acidic sites capable of binding 1 or 2 equiv of N2H4. Reduction of the 1:1 Fe:N2H4 species affords a rare Fe(NH2)2 complex in which the amido ligands are stabilized through interactions with the appended boranes. The NH2 units can be released as NH3 upon protonation and exchanged with exogenous N2H4.

Hydrazine and hydroxylamine as probes for O2-reduction site of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase.

Project description:Reactions of hydrazine and hydroxylamine with bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase in the fully reduced state were investigated under anaerobic conditions following the visible-Soret spectral change. Hydrazine gave a sharp band at 575 nm with 20% decrease in the alpha band at 603 nm, and hydroxylamine induced a 2 nm blue-shift for the alpha band without any clear splitting. The Soret band at 443 nm was decreased significantly in intensity, with the concomitant appearance of a shoulder with hydrazine or a peak with hydroxylamine, both near 430 nm. The dependence on pH of the affinity of these reagents for the enzyme indicates that only the deprotonated forms of these reagents bind to the enzyme, suggesting a highly hydrophobic environment of the haem ligand-biding site. These spectral changes were largely removed by addition of cyanide or CO. However, detailed analysis of these spectral changes indicates that hydrazine perturbs the shape of the spectral change induced by cyanide and hydroxylamine perturbs that induced by CO. These results suggest that these aldehyde reagents bind to haem a3 iron as well as to a second site which is most likely to be the formyl group on the haem periphery, and that these two sites bind these reagents anti-cooperatively with each other.

Selective electrochemical reduction of nitric oxide to hydroxylamine by atomically dispersed iron catalyst.

Project description:Electrocatalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides to value-added chemicals is a promising strategy for mitigating the human-caused unbalance of the global nitrogen-cycle, but controlling product selectivity remains a great challenge. Here we show iron-nitrogen-doped carbon as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for selective nitric oxide reduction into hydroxylamine. Using in operando spectroscopic techniques, the catalytic site is identified as isolated ferrous moieties, at which the rate for hydroxylamine production increases in a super-Nernstian way upon pH decrease. Computational multiscale modelling attributes the origin of unconventional pH dependence to the redox active (non-innocent) property of NO. This makes the rate-limiting NO adsorbate state more sensitive to surface charge which varies with the pH-dependent overpotential. Guided by these fundamental insights, we achieve a Faradaic efficiency of 71% and an unprecedented production rate of 215 μmol cm-2 h-1 at a short-circuit mode in a flow-type fuel cell without significant catalytic deactivation over 50 h operation.

Requirements for Lewis Acid-Mediated Capture and N-N Bond Cleavage of Hydrazine at Iron.

Project description:An iron complex bearing a pyridine(dicarbene) pincer was designed to probe the requirements of Lewis acid-enabled N2H4 capture and subsequent N-N bond cleavage. Appended boron Lewis acids were installed by two methods to circumvent the incompatibilities associated with Lewis acid/base quenching of free carbenes and boranes. N2H4 capture by borane Lewis acids is dependent on both the Lewis acidity and the steric profile about boron. A substitutionally inert primary coordination sphere at iron prevents an Fe-N2H4 interaction as well as N-N bond homolysis upon reduction.

An iron-iron hydrogenase mimic with appended electron reservoir for efficient proton reduction in aqueous media.

Project description:The transition from a fossil-based economy to a hydrogen-based economy requires cheap and abundant, yet stable and efficient, hydrogen production catalysts. Nature shows the potential of iron-based catalysts such as the iron-iron hydrogenase (H2ase) enzyme, which catalyzes hydrogen evolution at rates similar to platinum with low overpotential. However, existing synthetic H2ase mimics generally suffer from low efficiency and oxygen sensitivity and generally operate in organic solvents. We report on a synthetic H2ase mimic that contains a redox-active phosphole ligand as an electron reservoir, a feature that is also crucial for the working of the natural enzyme. Using a combination of (spectro)electrochemistry and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, we elucidate the unique redox behavior of the catalyst. We find that the electron reservoir actively partakes in the reduction of protons and that its electron-rich redox states are stabilized through ligand protonation. In dilute sulfuric acid, the catalyst has a turnover frequency of 7.0 × 10(4) s(-1) at an overpotential of 0.66 V. This catalyst is tolerant to the presence of oxygen, thereby paving the way for a new generation of synthetic H2ase mimics that combine the benefits of the enzyme with synthetic versatility and improved stability.

Synthesis of Magnetite Nanorods from the Reduction of Iron Oxy-Hydroxide with Hydrazine.

Project description:Nanowires and nanorods of magnetite (Fe3O4) are of interest due to their varied biological applications but most importantly for their use as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. One-dimensional (1D) structures of magnetite, however, are more challenging to synthesize because the surface energy favors the formation of isotropic structures. Synthetic protocols can be dichotomous, producing either the 1D structure or the magnetite phase but not both. Here, superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanorods were prepared in solution by the reduction of iron oxy-hydroxide (β-FeOOH) nanoneedles with hydrazine (N2H4). The amount of hydrazine and the reaction time affected the phase and morphology of the resulting iron oxide nanoparticles. One-dimensional nanostructures of Fe3O4 could be produced consistently from various aspect ratios of β-FeOOH nanoneedles, although the length of the template was not retained. Fe3O4 nanorods were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry.

Synthesis and Characterization of Hydrazine-Appended BODIPY Dyes and the Related Aminomethyl Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of three new organic hydrazines containing BODIPY dyes is described. The respective aminomethyl complexes were also synthesized to aid in the assignment of the physical properties that were hydrazine-based vs. BODIPY-based. Incorporation of a BODIPY dye into an organic hydrazine introduced a reduction event (average value of -1.70 V vs. Cp2Fe/Cp2Fe+). Although two irreversible oxidation events were observed, it was unclear whether the oxidation events arose from BODIPY-based or amine/hydrazine-based oxidations. The respective BODIPY-appended hydrazine complexes exhibited excited state lifetimes on the order of 2-6 ns, suggesting the presence of a singlet excited state. The excited state lifetimes of the BODIPY-appended hydrazine complexes were about a factor of ten greater than the respective aminomethyl complexes. Computational analysis showed that by appending a BODIPY dye to a hydrazine fragment the hydrazine fragment becomes more susceptible to transfer H2 equivalents as protons and hydrides as opposed to H-atoms, which occurs with common organic hydrazines. Computational analysis also revealed that the BODIPY-based redox events can be used to manipulate the mechanism for H2 transfer from the BODIPY-appended hydrazine, where a BODIPY-based reduction favors H-atom transfer and a BODIPY-based oxidation favors proton transfer followed by hydride transfer.

Reductively Stable Hydrogen-Bonding Ligands Featuring Appended CF<sub>2</sub>-H Units.

Project description:We present the development of ligands featuring the unconventional hydrogen bond donor, -CF2H, within a metal's secondary coordination sphere. When metalated with palladium, o-CF2H-functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline provides highly directed H-bonding interactions with Pd-coordinated substrates. Spectroscopic and computational analyses with a series of X-type ligand acceptors (-F, -Cl, -Br, -OR) establish the H-bonding interaction strength for the -CF2H group (∼3 kcal/mol). The synthesis of Pd0/Ni0 complexes and subsequent coupling (Ni) highlight the unique reductive and base compatibility of the -CF2H hydrogen bond donor group.

Antibodies targeting sialyl Lewis A mediate tumor clearance through distinct effector pathways.

Project description:Sialyl Lewis A (sLeA, also known as CA19-9), a tetrasaccharide selectively and highly expressed on advanced adenocarcinomas including colon, stomach, and pancreatic cancers, has long been considered as an attractive target for active and passive vaccination. While progress in antibodies targeting tumor-associated protein antigens resulted in an impressive array of therapeutics for cancer treatment, similar progress in exploiting tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, such as sLeA, has been hampered by the lack of a detailed understanding of the singular characteristics of these antigens. We have addressed this issue by analyzing antibodies derived from patients immunized with an sLeA/KLH vaccine. These antibodies were engineered to mediate tumor clearance in vivo in preclinical models through Fc-Fc?R interactions. However, in contrast to protein antigens in which hFc?RIIIA engagement was both necessary and sufficient to mediate tumor clearance in both preclinical and clinical settings, a similar selective dependence was not seen for anti-sLeA antibodies. Thus, re-engineering the Fc portion of sLeA-targeting antibodies to broadly enhance their affinity for activating Fc?Rs led to an enhanced therapeutic effect. These findings will facilitate the development of more efficient anticancer therapies and further advance this promising class of therapeutic antibodies into clinical use.

Abiotic hydroxylamine nitrification involving manganese- and iron-bearing minerals.

Project description:Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) undergoes biotic and abiotic transformation processes in soil, producing nitrous oxide gas (N2O(g)). Little is known about the magnitude of the abiotic chemical processes in the global N cycle, and the role of abiotic nitrification is still neglected in most current nitrogen trace gas studies. The abiotic fate of NH2OH in soil systems is often focused on transition metals including manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe), and empirical correlations of nitrogen residual species including nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), and N2O(g). In this study, abiotic NH2OH nitrification by well-characterized manganese (Mn)- and iron (Fe)-bearing minerals (pyrolusite, amorphous MnO2(s), goethite, amorphous FeOOH(s)) was investigated. A nitrogen mass balance analysis involving NH2OH, and the abiotic nitrification residuals, N2O(g), N2O(aq), NO2-, NO3-, was used, and specific reactions and mechanisms were investigated. Rapid and complete NH2OH nitrification occurred (4-5?h) in the presence of pyrolusite and amorphous MnO2(s), achieving a 95-96% mass balance of N byproducts. Conversely, NH2OH nitrification was considerably slower by amorphous FeOOH(s) (14.5%) and goethite (1.1%). Direct reactions between the Mn- and Fe-bearing mineral species and NO2- and NO3- were not detected. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and energy dispersive X-ray measurements for elemental composition were used to determine the specific concentrations of Mn and Fe. Despite similar specific concentrations of Mn and Fe in crystalline and amorphous minerals, the rate of NH2OH nitrification was much greater in the Mn-bearing minerals. Results underscore the intrinsically faster NH2OH nitrification by Mn minerals than Fe minerals.
