Preliminary Assignment of Protonated and Deprotonated Homocitrates in Extracted FeMo-Cofactors by Comparisons with Molybdenum(IV) Lactates and Oxidovanadium Glycolates.

ABSTRACT: A similar pair of protonated and deprotonated mononuclear oxidovanadium glycolates [VO(Hglyc)(phen)(H₂O)]Cl·2H₂O (1) and [VO(glyc)(bpy)(H₂O)] (2) and a mixed-(de)protonated oxidovanadium triglycolate (NH₄)₂[VO(Hglyc)₂(glyc)]·H₂O (3) were isolated and examined. The ≡C-O(H) (≡C-OH or ≡C-O) groups coordinated to vanadium were spectroscopically and structurally identified. The glycolate in 1 features a bidentate chelation through protonated α-hydroxy and α-carboxy groups, whereas the glycolate in 2 coordinates through deprotonated α-alkoxy and α-carboxy groups. The glycolates in 3 coordinate to vanadium through α-alkoxy or α-hydroxy and α-carboxy groups and thus have both protonated ≡C-OH and deprotonated ≡C-O bonds s
