Cleavage of cluster iron-sulfide bonds in cyclophane-coordinated Fe_nS_m complexes.

ABSTRACT: Reaction of the tri(μ-sulfido)triiron(iii) tris(β-diketiminate) cyclophane complex, Fe₃S₃L^Et/Me (1), or of the di(μ-sulfido)diiron(iii) complex Fe₂S₂HL^Et/Me (5), with the related tri(bromide)triiron(ii) complex Fe₃Br₃L^Et/Me (2) results in electron and ligand redistribution to yield the mixed-ligand multiiron complexes, including Fe₃Br₂SL^Et/Me (3) and Fe₂Br₂SHL^Et/Me (4). The cleavage and redistribution observed in these complexes is reminiscent of necessary Fe-S bond cleavage for substrate activation in nitrogenase enzymes, and provides a new perspective on the lability of Fe-S bonds in FeS clusters.

Immune response of human cultured cells towards macrocyclic Fe2PO and Fe2PC bioactive cyclophane complexes.

Project description:Synthetic molecules that mimic the function of natural enzymes or molecules have untapped potential for use in the next generation of drugs. Cyclic compounds that contain aromatic rings are macrocyclic cyclophanes, and when they coordinate iron ions are of particular interest due to their antioxidant and biomimetic properties. However, little is known about the molecular responses at the cellular level. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immune gene expression in human cells exposed to the cyclophanes Fe2PO and Fe2PC. Confluent human embryonic kidney cells were exposed to either the cyclophane Fe2PO or Fe2PC before extraction of RNA. The expression of a panel of innate and adaptive immune genes was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Evidence was found for an inflammatory response elicited by the cyclophane exposures. After 8 h of exposure, the cells increased the relative expression of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin 1; IRAK, which transduces signals between interleukin 1 receptors and the NF?B pathway; and the LPS pattern recognition receptor CD14. After 24 h of exposure, regulatory genes begin to counter the inflammation, as some genes involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and non-inflammatory immune responses come into play. Both Fe2PO and Fe2PC induced similar immunogenetic changes in transcription profiles, but equal molar doses of Fe2PC resulted in more robust responses. These data suggest that further work in whole animal models may provide more insights into the extent of systemic physiological changes induced by these cyclophanes.

Neutral Unsymmetrical Coordinated Cyclophane Polymerization Catalysts.

Project description:Cyclophane structures can control steric pressure in the otherwise open spaces of square-planar d8 -metal catalysts. This elegant concept was so far limited to symmetrical coordinated metals. We report how a cyclophane motif can be generated in ligands that chelate via two different donors. An ancillary second imine in the versatile κ2 -N,O-salicylaldiminato catalyst type enables ring closure via olefin metathesis and selective double bond hydrogenation to yield a 30-membered ring efficiently. Experimental and theoretical analyses show the ancillary imine is directed away from the active site and inert for catalysis. In ethylene polymerization the cyclophane catalyst is more active and temperature stable vs. an open structure reference, notably also in polar solvents. Increased molecular weights and decreased degrees of branching can be traced to an increased energy of sterically demanding transition states by the encircling cyclophane while chain propagation remains highly efficient.

Rhodium(III) Complexes Featuring Coordinated CF3 Appendages.

Project description:The synthesis and characterisation of a homologous series of rhodium 2,2'-biphenyl complexes featuring intramolecular dative bonding of the nominally inert and weakly coordinating trifluoromethyl group are described. Presence of these interactions is evidenced in the solid state using X-ray diffraction, with Rh-F contacts of 2.36-2.45 Å, and in solution using NMR spectroscopy, through hindered C-CF3 bond rotation and the presence of time-averaged 1 JRhF and 2 JPF coupling.

Substituent-Guided Cluster Nuclearity for Tetranuclear Iron(III) Compounds with Flat {Fe4(μ3-O)2} Butterfly Core.

Project description:The tetranuclear iron(III) compounds [Fe4(μ3-O)2(μ-LZ)4] (1-3) were obtained by reaction of FeCl3 with the shortened salen-type N2O2 tetradentate Schiff bases N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-o-Z-phenylmethanediamine H2LZ (Z = NO2, Cl and OMe, respectively), where the one-carbon bridge between the two iminic nitrogen donor atoms guide preferentially to the formation of oligonuclear species, and the ortho position of the substituent Z on the central phenyl ring selectively drives towards Fe4 bis-oxido clusters. All compounds show a flat almost-symmetric butterfly-like conformation of the {Fe4(μ3-O)2} core, surrounded by the four Schiff base ligands, as depicted by both the X-ray molecular structures of 1 and 2 and the optimized geometries of all derivatives as obtained by UM06/6-311G(d) DFT calculations. The strength of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling constants between the iron(III) ions varies among the three derivatives, despite their magnetic cores remain structurally almost unvaried, as well as the coordination of the metal ions, with a distorted octahedral environment for the two-body iron ions, Feb, and a pentacoordination with trigonal bipyramidal geometry for the two-wing iron ions, Few. The different magnetic behavior within the series of examined compounds may be ascribed to the influence of the electronic features of Z on the electron density distribution (EDD) of the central {Fe4(μ3-O)2} core, substantiated by a Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) topological analysis of the EDD, as obtained by UM06 calculations 1-3.

Iron chaperones for mitochondrial Fe-S cluster biosynthesis and ferritin iron storage.

Project description:Protein controlled iron homeostasis is essential for maintaining appropriate levels and availability of metal within cells. Recently, two iron chaperones have been discovered that direct metal within two unique pathways: (1) mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly and (2) within the ferritin iron storage system. Although structural and functional details describing how these iron chaperones operate are emerging, both share similar iron binding affinities and metal-ligand site structures that enable them to bind and release Fe2+ to specific protein partners. Molecular details related to iron binding and delivery by these chaperones will be explored within this review.

Molecular structures of the pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl iron complexes [(C5Ph5)Fe(CO)2R] (R = Me, Ph, iPr and Bu).

Project description:The PdII-catalysed reaction of [(C5Ph5)Fe(CO)2Br] with Grignard compounds RMgX or butyl lithium gave the iron alkyl/aryl complexes [(C5Ph5)Fe(CO)2R] (R = Me, Ph, iPr and Bu) in 59-73% yield, namely, dicarbonylmethyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(CH3)(C35H25)(CO)2], dicarbonyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)phenyliron, [Fe(C6H5)(C35H25)(CO)2], dicarbonyl(isopropyl)(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C3H7)(C35H25)(CO)2], and butyldicarbonyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C4H9)(C35H25)(CO)2]. The crystal structure determinations showed the usual `paddle-wheel' orientation of the phenyl rings, with an average canting angle of ca 50°. The bond parameters are mainly dictated by the steric requirements of the alkyl/aryl groups and only the phenyl complex shows electronic effects.

Highly Coordinated Heteronuclear Calcium-Iron Carbonyl Cation Complexes [CaFe(CO)n ]+ (n=5-12) with d-d Bonding.

Project description:Heteronuclear calcium-iron carbonyl cation complexes in the form of [CaFe(CO)n ]+ (n=5-12) are produced in the gas phase. Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations confirm that the n=10 complex is the coordination saturated ion where a Fe(CO)4 fragment is bonded with a Ca(CO)6 fragment through two side-on bridging carbonyl ligands. Bonding analysis indicates that it is best described by the bonding interactions between a [Ca(CO)6 ]2+ dication and an [Fe(CO)4 ]- anion forming a Fe→Ca d-d dative bond in the [(CO)6 Ca-Fe(CO)4 ]+ structure, which enriches the pool of experimentally observed complexes of calcium that mimic transition metal compounds. The molecule is the first example of a heteronuclear carbonyl complex featuring a d-d bond between calcium and a transition metal.

Sulfide Oxidation by O2: Synthesis, Structure and Reactivity of Novel Sulfide-Incorporated Fe(II) Bis(imino)pyridine Complexes.

Project description:The unsymmetrical iron(II) bis(imino)pyridine complexes [FeII(LN3SMe)(H2O)3](OTf)2 (1), and [FeII(LN3SMe)Cl2] (2) were synthesized and their reactivity with O2 was examined. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, LDI-MS, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The LN3SMe ligand was designed to incorporate a single sulfide donor and relies on the bis(imino)pyridine scaffold. This scaffold was selected for its ease of synthesis and its well-precedented ability to stabilize Fe(II) ions. Complexes 1 and 2 ware prepared via a metal-assisted template reaction from the unsymmetrical pyridyl ketone precursor 2-(O=CMe)-6-(2,6-(iPr2-C6H3N=CMe)-C5H3N. Reaction of 1 with O2 was shown to afford the S-oxygenated sulfoxide complex [Fe(LN3S(O)Me)(OTf)]2+(3), whereas compound 2, under the same reaction conditions, afforded the corresponding sulfone complex [Fe(LN3S(O2)Me)Cl]2+ (4).

Synthesis and Mechanism of Formation of Hydride-Sulfide Complexes of Iron.

Project description:Iron-sulfide complexes with hydride ligands provide an experimental precedent for spectroscopically detected hydride species on the iron-sulfur MoFe7S9C cofactor of nitrogenase. In this contribution, we expand upon our recent synthesis of the first iron sulfide hydride complex from an iron hydride and a sodium thiolate ( Arnet, N. A.; Dugan, T. R.; Menges, F. S.; Mercado, B. Q.; Brennessel, W. W.; Bill, E.; Johnson, M. A.; Holland, P. L., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015 , 137 , 13220 - 13223 ). First, we describe the isolation of an analogous iron sulfide hydride with a smaller diketiminate supporting ligand, which benefits from easier preparation of the hydride precursor and easier isolation of the product. Second, we describe mechanistic studies on the C-S bond cleavage through which the iron sulfide hydride product is formed. In a key experiment, use of cyclopropylmethanethiolate as the sulfur precursor leads to products from cyclopropane ring opening, implicating an alkyl radical as an intermediate. Combined with the results of isotopic labeling studies, the data are consistent with a mechanism in which homolytic C-S bond cleavage is followed by rebound of the alkyl radical to abstract a hydrogen atom from iron to give the observed alkane and iron-sulfide products.

Low-spin pseudotetrahedral iron(I) sites in Fe?(?-S) complexes.

Project description:Fe(I) centers in iron-sulfide complexes have little precedent in synthetic chemistry despite a growing interest in the possible role of unusually low valent iron in metalloenzymes that feature iron-sulfur clusters. A series of three diiron [(L3Fe)2(?-S)] complexes that were isolated and characterized in the low-valent oxidation states Fe(II)-S-Fe(II), Fe(II)-S-Fe(I), and Fe(I)-S-Fe(I) is described. This family of iron sulfides constitutes a unique redox series comprising three nearly isostructural but electronically distinct Fe2(?-S) species. Combined structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic studies provided strong evidence that the pseudotetrahedral iron centers undergo a transition to low-spin S=1/2 states upon reduction from Fe(II) to Fe(I). The possibility of accessing low-spin, pseudotetrahedral Fe(I) sites compatible with S(2-) as a ligand was previously unknown.
