A Copper(I) Complex with Two Unpaired Electrons, Synthesised by Oxidation of a Copper(II) Complex with Two Redox-Active Ligands.

ABSTRACT: Two homoleptic copper(II) complexes [Cu(L1)₂ ] and [Cu(L2)₂ ] with anionic redox-active ligands were synthesised, one with urea azine (L1) and the other with thio-urea azine (L2) ligands. One-electron oxidation of the complexes initiates an unprecedented redox-induced electron transfer process, leading to monocationic copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1)₂ ]⁺ and [Cu(L2)₂ ]⁺ with two oxidised ligands. While [Cu(L1)₂ ]⁺ is best described as a Cu^I complex with two neutral radical ligands that couple antiferromagnetically, [Cu(L2)₂ ]⁺ is a Cu^I complex with two clearly different ligand units in the solid state and with a magnetic susceptibility close to a diamagnetic compound. Further one-electron oxidation of the complex with L1 ligands results in a dication [Cu(L1)₂ ]²⁺ , best described as a Cu^I complex with a twofold oxidised, monocationic ligand and a neutral radical ligand. The stability in at least three redox states, the accumulation of spin density at the ligands and the facile ligand-metal electron transfer make these complexes highly attractive for a variety of applications; here the catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is tested.

Unusual Water Oxidation Mechanism via a Redox-Active Copper Polypyridyl Complex.

Project description:To improve Cu-based water oxidation (WO) catalysts, a proper mechanistic understanding of these systems is required. In contrast to other metals, high-oxidation-state metal-oxo species are unlikely intermediates in Cu-catalyzed WO because π donation from the oxo ligand to the Cu center is difficult due to the high number of d electrons of CuII and CuIII. As a consequence, an alternative WO mechanism must take place instead of the typical water nucleophilic attack and the inter- or intramolecular radical-oxo coupling pathways, which were previously proposed for Ru-based catalysts. [CuII(HL)(OTf)2] [HL = Hbbpya = N,N-bis(2,2'-bipyrid-6-yl)amine)] was investigated as a WO catalyst bearing the redox-active HL ligand. The Cu catalyst was found to be active as a WO catalyst at pH 11.5, at which the deprotonated complex [CuII(L-)(H2O)]+ is the predominant species in solution. The overall WO mechanism was found to be initiated by two proton-coupled electron-transfer steps. Kinetically, a first-order dependence in the catalyst, a zeroth-order dependence in the phosphate buffer, a kinetic isotope effect of 1.0, a ΔH⧧ value of 4.49 kcal·mol-1, a ΔS⧧ value of -42.6 cal·mol-1·K-1, and a ΔG⧧ value of 17.2 kcal·mol-1 were found. A computational study supported the formation of a Cu-oxyl intermediate, [CuII(L•)(O•)(H2O)]+. From this intermediate onward, formation of the O-O bond proceeds via a single-electron transfer from an approaching hydroxide ion to the ligand. Throughout the mechanism, the CuII center is proposed to be redox-inactive.

Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols by Copper Complexes Bearing Redox-Active Ligands with Tunable H-Bonding Groups.

Project description:In this research article, we describe the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of a family of copper complexes bearing bidentate redox-active ligands that contain H-bonding donor groups. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography shows that these tetracoordinate complexes are stabilized by intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the two ligand scaffolds. Interestingly, the Cu complexes undergo multiple reversible oxidation-reduction processes associated with the metal ion (CuI, CuII, CuIII) and/or the o-phenyldiamido ligand (L2-, L•-, L). Moreover, some of the CuII complexes catalyze the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes (or ketones) at room temperature. Our extensive mechanistic analysis suggests that the dehydrogenation of alcohols occurs via an unusual reaction pathway for galactose oxidase model systems, in which O2 reduction occurs concurrently with substrate oxidation.

Switching from Metal- to Ligand-Based Oxidation in Cobalt Complexes with Redox-Active Bisguanidine Ligands.

Project description:The control of the redox reactivity, magnetic and optical properties of the different redox states of complexes with redox-active ligands permits their rational use in catalysis and materials science. The redox-chemistry of octahedrally coordinated high-spin CoII complexes (three unpaired electrons) with one redox-active bisguanidine ligand and two acetylacetonato (acac) co-ligands is completely changed by replacing the acac by hexafluoro-acetylacetonato (hfacac) co-ligands. The first one-electron oxidation is metal-centered in the case of the complexes with acac co-ligands, giving diamagnetic CoIII complexes. By contrast, in the case of the less Lewis-basic hfacac co-ligands, the first one-electron oxidation becomes ligand-centered, leading to high-spin CoII complexes with a radical monocationic guanidine ligand unit (four unpaired electrons). Ferromagnetic coupling between the spins on the metal and the organic radical in solution is evidenced by temperature-dependent paramagnetic NMR studies, allowing to estimate the isotropic exchange coupling constant in solution. Second one-electron oxidation leads to high-spin CoII complexes with dicationic guanidine ligand units (three unpaired electrons) in the presence of hfacac co-ligands, but to low-spin CoIII complexes with radical monocationic, peralkylated guanidine ligand (one unpaired electron) in the presence of acac co-ligands. The analysis of the electronic structures is complemented by quantum-chemical calculations on the spin density distributions and relative energies of the possible redox isomers.

Catalytic Water Oxidation by a Bio-inspired Nickel Complex with a Redox-Active Ligand.

Project description:The oxidation of water (H2O) to dioxygen (O2) is important in natural photosynthesis. One of nature's strategies for managing such multi-electron transfer reactions is to employ redox-active metal-organic cofactor arrays. One prototype example is the copper tyrosinate active site found in galactose oxidase. In this work, we have implemented such a strategy to develop a bio-inspired nickel phenolate complex capable of catalyzing the oxidation of H2O to O2 electrochemically at neutral pH with a modest overpotential. Employment of the redox-active ligand turned out to be a useful strategy to avoid the formation of high-valent nickel intermediates while a reasonable turnover rate (0.15 s-1) is retained.

A giant spin molecule with ninety-six parallel unpaired electrons.

Project description:Unpaired electrons which are essential for organic radicals and magnetic materials are hardly to align parallel, especially upon the increasing of spin numbers. Here, we show that the antiferromagnetic interaction in the largest Cr(III)-RE (rare earth) cluster {Cr10RE18} leads to 96 parallel electrons, forming a ground spin state S T of 48 for RE = Gd. This is so far the third largest ground spin state achieved in one molecule. Moreover, by using the classical Monte Carlo simulation, the exchange coupling constants Jij can be determined. Spin dynamics simulation reveals that the strong Zeeman effects of 18 Gd(III) ions stabilize the ground ferrimagnetic state and hinder the magnetization reversals of these spins. In addition, the dysprosium(III) analog is an exchange-biasing single-molecule magnet. We believe that the ferrimagnetic approach and analytical protocol established in this work can be applied generally in constructing and analyzing giant spin molecules.

Optimizing Group Transfer Catalysis by Copper Complex with Redox-Active Ligand in an Entatic State.

Project description:Metalloenzymes use earth-abundant non-noble metals to perform high-fidelity transformations in the biological world. To ensure chemical efficiency, metalloenzymes have acquired evolutionary reactivity-enhancing tools. Among these, the entatic state model states that a strongly distorted geometry induced by ligands around a metal center gives rise to an energized structure called entatic state, strongly improving the reactivity. However, the original definition refers both to the transfer of electrons or chemical groups, whereas the chemical application of this concept in synthetic systems has mostly focused on electron transfer, therefore eluding chemical transformations. Here we report that a highly strained redox-active ligand enables a copper complex to perform catalytic nitrogen- and carbon-group transfer in as fast as 2 min, thus exhibiting a strong increase in reactivity compared with its unstrained analogue. This report combines two reactivity-enhancing features from metalloenzymes, entasis and redox cofactors, applied to group-transfer catalysis.

Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction and H2 Evolution by a Copper (II) Complex with Redox-Active Ligand.

Project description:The process of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and H2 evolution from water, regarding renewable energy, has become one of the global solutions to problems related to energy consumption and environmental degradation. In order to promote the electrocatalytic reactivity, the study of the role of ligands in catalysis has attracted more and more attention. Herein, we have developed a copper (II) complex with redox-active ligand [Cu(L1)2NO3]NO3 (1, L1 = 2-(6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-6-nitro-1h-benzo [D] imidazole). X-ray crystallography reveals that the Cu ion in cation of complex 1 is coordinated by two redox ligands L1 and one labile nitrate ligand, which could assist the metal center for catalysis. The longer Cu-O bond between the metal center and the labile nitrate ligand would break to provide an open coordination site for the binding of the substrate during the catalytic process. The electrocatalytic investigation combined with DFT calculations demonstrate that the copper (II) complex could homogeneously catalyze CO2 reduction towards CO and H2 evolution, and this could occur with great performance due to the cooperative effect between the central Cu (II) ion and the redox- active ligand L1. Further, we discovered that the added proton source H2O and TsOH·H2O (p-Toluenesulfonic acid) could greatly enhance its electrocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction and H2 evolution, respectively.

Synthetic Models for Nickel-Iron Hydrogenase Featuring Redox-Active Ligands.

Project description:The nickel-iron hydrogenase enzymes efficiently and reversibly interconvert protons, electrons, and dihydrogen. These redox proteins feature iron-sulfur clusters that relay electrons to and from their active sites. Reported here are synthetic models for nickel-iron hydrogenase featuring redox-active auxiliaries that mimic the iron-sulfur cofactors. The complexes prepared are NiII(μ-H)FeIIFeII species of formula [(diphosphine)Ni(dithiolate)(μ-H)Fe(CO)2(ferrocenylphosphine)]+ or NiIIFeIFeII complexes [(diphosphine)Ni(dithiolate)Fe(CO)2(ferrocenylphosphine)]+ (diphosphine = Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2 or Cy2P(CH2)2PCy2; dithiolate = -S(CH2)3S-; ferrocenylphosphine = diphenylphosphinoferrocene, diphenylphosphinomethyl(nonamethylferrocene) or 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene). The hydride species is a catalyst for hydrogen evolution, while the latter hydride-free complexes can exist in four redox states - a feature made possible by the incorporation of the ferrocenyl groups. Mixed-valent complexes of 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene have one of the phosphine groups unbound, with these species representing advanced structural models with both a redox-active moiety (the ferrocene group) and a potential proton relay (the free phosphine) proximal to a nickel-iron dithiolate.

Alkali Cation Effects on Redox-Active Formazanate Ligands in Iron Chemistry.

Project description:Noncovalent interactions of organic moieties with Lewis acidic alkali cations can greatly affect structure and reactivity. Herein, we describe the effects of interactions with alkali-metal cations within a series of reduced iron complexes bearing a redox-active formazanate ligand, in terms of structures, magnetism, spectroscopy, and reaction rates. In the absence of a crown ether to sequester the alkali cation, dimeric complexes are isolated wherein the formazanate has rearranged to form a five-membered metallacycle. The dissociation of these dimers is dependent on the binding mode and size of the alkali cation. In the dimers, the formazanate ligands are radical dianions, as shown by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and analysis of metrical parameters. These experimental measures are complemented by density functional theory calculations that show the spin density on the bridging ligands.
