A Synthetically Generated LFe^IVOH _n Complex.

ABSTRACT: High-valent Fe-OH species are important intermediates in hydroxylation chemistry. Such complexes have been implicated in mechanisms of oxygen-activating enzymes and have thus far been observed in Compound II of sulfur-ligated heme enzymes like cytochrome P450. Attempts to synthetically model such species have thus far seen relatively little success. Here, the first synthetic Fe^IVOH _n complex has been generated and spectroscopically characterized as either [LFe^IVOH]^- or [LFe^IVOH₂]⁰, where H₄L = Me₄C₂(NHCOCMe₂NHCO)₂CMe₂ is a variant of a tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand (TAML). The steric bulk provided by the replacement of the aryl group with the -CMe₂CMe₂- unit in this TAML variant prevents dimerization in all oxidation states over a wide pH range, thus allowing the generation of Fe^IVOH _n in near quantitative yield from oxidation of the [LFe^IIIOH₂]^- precursor.

Comparison of two MnIVMnIV-bis-μ-oxo complexes {[MnIV(N4(6-Me-DPEN))]2(μ-O)2}2+ and {[MnIV(N4(6-Me-DPPN))]2(μ-O)2}2.

Project description:The addition of tert-butyl hydro-peroxide ( t BuOOH) to two structurally related MnII complexes containing N,N-bis-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl-meth-yl)ethane-1,2-di-amine (6-Me-DPEN) and N,N-bis-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl-meth-yl)propane-1,2-di-amine (6-Me-DPPN) results in the formation of high-valent bis-oxo complexes, namely di-μ-oxido-bis-{[N,N-bis-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmeth-yl)ethane-1,2-di-amine]-manganese(II)}(Mn-Mn) bis-(tetra-phenyl-borate) dihydrate, [Mn(C16H22N4)2O2](C24H20B)2·2H2O or {[MnIV(N4(6-Me-DPEN))]2(μ-O)2}(2BPh4)(2H2O) (1) and di-μ-oxido-bis-{[N,N-bis-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmeth-yl)propane-1,3-di-amine]-manganese(II)}(Mn-Mn) bis-(tetra-phenyl-borate) diethyl ether disolvate, [Mn(C17H24N4)2O2](C24H20B)2·2C4H10O or {[MnIV(N4(6-MeDPPN))]2(μ-O)2}(2BPh4)(2Et2O) (2). Complexes 1 and 2 both contain the 'diamond core' motif found previously in a number of iron, copper, and manganese high-valent bis-oxo compounds. The flexibility in the propyl linker in the ligand scaffold of 2, as compared to that of the ethyl linker in 1, results in more elongated Mn-N bonds, as one would expect. The Mn-Mn distances and Mn-O bond lengths support an MnIV oxidation state assignment for the Mn ions in both 1 and 2. The angles around the Mn centers are consistent with the local pseudo-octa-hedral geometry.

Enhanced CH3OH selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation using Cu-based catalysts generated via SOMC from GaIII single-sites.

Project description:Small and narrowly distributed nanoparticles of copper alloyed with gallium supported on silica containing residual GaIII sites can be obtained via surface organometallic chemistry in a two-step process: (i) formation of isolated GaIII surface sites on SiO2 and (ii) subsequent grafting of a CuI precursor, [Cu(O t Bu)]4, followed by a treatment under H2 to generate CuGa x alloys. This material is highly active and selective for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that gallium is oxidized under reaction conditions while copper remains as Cu0. This CuGa material only stabilizes methoxy surface species while no formate is detected according to ex situ infrared and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy of OH--Anion-Water Clusters Generated by Ultrasonic Nebulizer.

Project description:Investigating molecules in the gas phase is the only way to discover their intrinsic molecular properties; however, it is challenging to produce the gaseous phase of large-molecule chemicals. Thermal evaporation is typically used to convert molecules into gases, but it is still challenging to study ionic molecules in solutions in the gas phase. Electrospray ionization is one of the best methods to generate molecules in the gas phase, and it is uniquely capable of studying large biomolecules, including proteins. However, the molecular temperature required to study the spectroscopic properties of the molecules is very high. In this study, we developed a new, simple evaporation method using an ultrasonic nebulizer to obtain gas-phase molecules. Using this new equipment, we observed OH- anions and their water clusters in the gas phase and obtained their photoelectron spectra. We observed that the vertical electron-detachment energy (VDE) of OH- was 1.90 ± 0.05 eV and the VDEs of its water clusters and OH- (H2O)n (n = 1-2) decreased to 1.50 ± 0.05 eV (n = 1) and 1.30 ± 0.05 eV (n = 2), respectively.

Terminal NiII-OH/-OH2 complexes in trigonal bipyramidal geometries derived from H2O.

Project description:The preparation and characterization of two NiII complexes are described, a terminal NiII-OH complex with the tripodal ligand tris[(N)-tertbutylureaylato)-N-ethyl)]aminato ([H3buea]3-) and a terminal Ni II-OH2 complex with the tripodal ligand N,N',N″-[2,2',2″-nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)]tris(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonamido) ([MST]3-). For both complexes, the source of the -OH and -OH2 ligand is water. The salts K2[NiIIH3buea(OH)] and NMe4[NiIIMST(OH2)] were characterized using perpendicular-mode X-band electronic paramagnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, UV-visible spectroscopies, and its electrochemical properties were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. The solid state structures of these complexes determined by X-ray diffraction methods reveal that they adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, an unusual structure for 5-coordinate NiII complexes. Moreover, the NiII-OH and NiII-OH2 units form intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks with the [H3buea]3- and [MST]3- ligands. The oxidation chemistry of these complexes was explored by treating the high-spin NiII compounds with one-electron oxidants. Species were formed with S = 1/2 spin ground states that are consistent with formation of monomeric NiIII species. While the formation of NiIII-OH complexes cannot be ruled out, the lack of observable O-H vibrations from the putative Ni-OH units suggest the possibility that other high valent Ni species are formed.

Generation and Applications of the Hydroxide Trihydrate Anion, [OH(OH2 )3 ]- , Stabilized by a Weakly Coordinating Cation.

Project description:The reaction of a strongly basic phosphazene (Schwesinger base) with water afforded the corresponding metastable hydroxide trihydrate [OH(OH2 )3 ]- salt. This is the first hydroxide solvate that is not in contact with a cation and furthermore one of rare known water-stabilized hydroxide anions. Thermolysis in vacuum results in the decomposition of the hydroxide salt and quantitative liberation of the free phosphazene base. This approach was used to synthesize the Schwesinger base from its hydrochloride salt after anion exchange in excellent yields of over 97 %. This deprotonation method can also be used for the phosphazene-base-catalyzed preparation of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent Me3 SiCF3 using fluoroform (HCF3 ) as the trifluoromethyl building block and sodium hydroxide as the formal deprotonation agent.

CeIV - and HClO4 -Promoted Assembly of an Fe2 IV (μ-O)2 Diamond Core from its Monomeric FeIV =O Precursor at Room Temperature.

Project description:Diiron(IV)-oxo species are proposed to effect the cleavage of strong C-H bonds by nonheme diiron enzymes such as soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and fatty acid desaturases. However, synthetic mimics of such diiron(IV) oxidants are rare. Herein we report the reaction of (TPA*)FeII (1) (TPA*=tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridyl-2-methyl)amine) in CH3 CN with 4 equiv CAN and 200 equiv HClO4 at 20 °C to form a complex with an [FeIV 2 (μ-O)2 ]4+ core. CAN and HClO4 play essential roles in this unprecedented transformation, in which the comproportionation of FeIII -O-CeIV and FeIV =O/Ce4+ species is proposed to be involved in the assembly of the [FeIV 2 (μ-O)2 ]4+ core.

Highly Reactive CoIII,IV2(μ-O)2 Diamond Core Complex That Cleaves C-H Bonds.

Project description:The selective activation of strong sp3 C-H bonds at mild conditions is a key step in many biological and synthetic transformations and an unsolved challenge for synthetic chemists. In nature, soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) is one representative example of nonheme dinuclear iron-dependent enzymes that activate strong sp3 C-H bonds by a high-valent diiron(IV) intermediate Q. To date, synthetic model complexes of sMMO-Q have shown limited abilities to oxidize strong C-H bonds. In this work, we generated a high-valent CoIII,IV2(μ-O)2 complex 3 supported by a tetradentate tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) ligand via one-electron oxidation of its CoIII2(μ-O)2 precursor 2. Characterization of 2 and 3 using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and DFT calculations showed that both species possess a diamond core structure with a short Co···Co distance of 2.78 Å. Furthermore, 3 is an EPR active species showing an S = 1/2 signal with clearly observable hyperfine splittings originated from the coupling of the 59Co nuclear spin with the electronic spin. Importantly, 3 is a highly reactive oxidant for sp3 C-H bonds, and an oxygenation reagent. 3 has the highest rate constant (1.5 M-1 s-1 at -60 °C) for oxidizing 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) compared to diamond core complexes of other first-row transition metals including Mn, Fe and Cu reported previously. Specifically, 3 is about 4-5 orders of magnitude more reactive than the diiron analogs FeIII,IV2(μ-O)2 and FeIV2(μ-O)2 supported by TPA and related ligands. These findings shed light on future development of more reactive approaches for C-H bond activation by bioinspired dicobalt complexes.

Tetranuclear [MnIIIMn3IVO4] Complexes as Spectroscopic Models of the S2 State of the Oxygen Evolving Complex in Photosystem II.

Project description:Despite extensive biochemical, spectroscopic, and computational studies, the mechanism of biological water oxidation by the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II remains a subject of significant debate. Mechanistic proposals are guided by the characterization of reaction intermediates such as the S2 state, which features two characteristic EPR signals at g = 2 and g = 4.1. Two nearly isoenergetic structural isomers have been proposed as the source of these distinct signals, but relevant structure-electronic structure studies remain rare. Herein, we report the synthesis, crystal structure, electrochemistry, XAS, magnetic susceptibility, variable temperature CW-EPR, and pulse EPR data for a series of [MnIIIMn3IVO4] cuboidal complexes as spectroscopic models of the S2 state of the OEC. Resembling the oxidation state and EPR spectra of the S2 state of the OEC, these model complexes show two EPR signals, a broad low field signal and a multiline signal, that are remarkably similar to the biological system. The effect of systematic changes in the nature of the bridging ligands on spectroscopy were studied. Results show that the electronic structure of tetranuclear Mn complexes is highly sensitive to even small geometric changes and the nature of the bridging ligands. Our model studies suggest that the spectroscopic properties of the OEC may also react very sensitively to small changes in structure; the effect of protonation state and other reorganization processes need to be carefully assessed.

An unexpected rhenium(IV)-rhenium(VII) salt: [Co(NH3)6]3[ReVIIO4][ReIVF6]4·6H2O.

Project description:The title hydrated salt, tris-[hexa-amminecobalt(III)] tetraoxidorhenate(VII) tetra-kis-[hexa-fluorido-rhenate(IV)] hexa-hydrate, arose unexpectedly due to possible contamination of the K2ReF6 starting material with KReO4. It consists of octa-hedral [Co(NH3)6]3+ cation (Co1 site symmetry 1), tetra-hedral [ReVIIO4]- anions (Re site symmetry 1) and octa-hedral [ReIVF6]2- anions (Re site symmetries 1and ). The [ReF6]2- octa-hedral anions (mean Re-F = 1.834 Å), [Co(NH3)6]3+ octa-hedral cations (mean Co-N = 1.962 Å), and the [ReO4]- tetra-hedral anion (mean Re-O = 1.719 Å) are slightly distorted. A network of N-H⋯F hydrogen bonds consolidates the structure. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.

Uncovering an oxide ion substitution for the OH- + CH3F reaction.

Project description:Theoretical investigations on chemical reactions allow us to understand the dynamics of the possible pathways and identify new unexpected routes. Here, we develop a global analytical potential energy surface (PES) for the OH- + CH3F reaction in order to perform high-level dynamics simulations. Besides bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and proton abstraction, our quasi-classical trajectory computations reveal a novel oxide ion substitution leading to the HF + CH3O- products. This exothermic reaction pathway occurs via the CH3OH⋯F- deep potential well of the SN2 product channel as a result of a proton abstraction from the hydroxyl group by the fluoride ion. The present detailed dynamics study of the OH- + CH3F reaction focusing on the surprising oxide ion substitution demonstrates how incomplete our knowledge is of fundamental chemical reactions.
