Closed Shell Iron(IV) Oxo Complex with an Fe-O Triple Bond: Computational Design, Synthesis, and Reactivity.

ABSTRACT: Iron(IV)-oxo intermediates in nature contain two unpaired electrons in the Fe-O antibonding orbitals, which are thought to contribute to their high reactivity. To challenge this hypothesis, we designed and synthesized closed-shell singlet iron(IV) oxo complex [(quinisox)Fe(O)]⁺ (1⁺ ; quinisox-H=(N-(2-(2-isoxazoline-3-yl)phenyl)quinoline-8-carboxamide). We identified the quinisox ligand by DFT computational screening out of over 450?candidates. After the ligand synthesis, we detected 1⁺ in the gas phase and confirmed its spin state by visible and infrared photodissociation spectroscopy (IRPD). The Fe-O stretching frequency in 1⁺ is 960.5?cm^-1 , consistent with an Fe-O triple bond, which was also confirmed by multireference calculations. The unprecedented bond strength is accompanied by high gas-phase reactivity of 1⁺ in oxygen atom transfer (OAT) and in proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. This challenges the current view of the spin-state driven reactivity of the Fe-O complexes.

Project description:In a natural environment, Fe(ii) adsorbed onto the surfaces of natural particles to form various surface complex species can influence the transformation of contaminants. The reductive reactivity of the [[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(iii)]/[[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(ii)] couples are close correlated with the surrounding conditions. In this study, we investigated the effects of Si(iv) on the reductive reactivity of [[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(iii)]/[[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(ii)] couples adsorbed onto γ-Al2O3. Experiments were conducted under different conditions to investigate the effects of Si(iv) on the reactivity of [[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(iii)]/[[triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(ii)] couples for 2-nitrophenol (2-NP, selected as the model pollutant) reduction in γ-Al2O3 suspensions. Kinetics results revealed that chemical adsorption is the rate limiting step in Fe(ii) and Si(iv) adsorption processes and the reduction of 2-NP is an endothermic reaction. The linear correlations between the reduced peak oxidation potential (E p) (versus SCE) and 2-NP reduction rate (ln k), and between the adsorbed Fe(ii) density (ρ Fe(II)) and ln k, illustrated that E p and ρ Fe(II) are two key factors in the inhibiting effects of Si(iv) on the reductive reactivity of Fe(iii)/Fe(ii) couples on γ-Al2O3. The results of Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that the increase of Si(iv) concentration resulted in the gradual change in the composition of the adsorbed Fe species from pure [triple bond, length as m-dash]AlOFe+ (γ-Al2O3 surface-bound Fe(ii) species with higher reductive reactivity) to a mixture of [triple bond, length as m-dash]AlOFe+ and [triple bond, length as m-dash]SiOFe+ (SiO2 surface-bound Fe(ii) species with lower reductive reactivity), leading to the decrease in ρ Fe(II), the positive shift in E p, the increase in activation energy (E a), and consequently the decrease in the reduction rate (ln k) of 2-NP.

Project description:The thermodynamic properties of structurally similar Mn(III) and Mn(IV) complexes have been reinvestigated to understand their reactivity with substrates having C-H bonds. The complexes have the general formula [MnH(3)buea(O)](n-), where [H(3)buea](3-) is the tripodal ligand, tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethylene]aminato. These complexes are unique because of the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding (H-bond) network surrounding the Mn-oxo units. The redox potentials for the Mn(III/IV)(O) couple was incorrectly assigned in earlier reports: the corrected value is -1.0 V vs Cp(2)Fe(+)/Cp(2)Fe in DMSO, while the Mn(IV/V)(O) process is -0.076 under the same conditions. The oxo ligand in the Mn(III)(O) complexes is basic with a pK(a) of 28.3; the basicity of the terminal oxo ligand in the Mn(IV)(O) complex is estimated to be approximately 15. These values were used to re-evalulate the O-H bond dissociation energy (BDE(OH)) of the corresponding Mn(II/III)-OH complexes: BDE(OH) values of 89 and 77 kcal/mol were determined for [Mn(III)H(3)buea(OH)](-) and [Mn(II)H(3)buea(OH)](2-), respectively. Both Mn(O) complexes react with 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) to produce anthracene in nearly quantitative yields. This is surprising based on the low redox potiental of the complexes, suggesting the basicity of the oxo ligand is a major contributor to the observed reactivity. In contrast to the thermodynamic results, a comparative kinetic investigation found that the Mn(III)(O) complex reacts nearly 20 times faster than the Mn(IV)(O) complex. Activation parameters, determined from an Eyring analysis, found that the entropy of activation is significantly different between the two systems (DeltaDeltaS(++) = -35 eu, where DeltaDeltaS(++) = DeltaS(++)(Mn(IV)(O)) - DeltaS(++)(Mn(III)(O)). This unusual kinetic behavior can be explained in the context of the basicity of the oxo ligands that leads to different mechanisms: for [Mn(III)H(3)buea(O)](2-) a proton transfer-electron transfer mechanism is proposed, whereas for [Mn(IV)H(3)buea(O)](-) a hydrogen-atom transfer pathway is likely.
