Mobility of Lewis acids within the secondary coordination sphere: toward a model for cooperative substrate binding.

ABSTRACT: Distance dependence of appended Lewis acids in N₂H₄ binding and deprotonation was evaluated within a series of zinc complexes. Variation of spacer-length to a tethered trialkylborane Lewis acid revealed distinct preferences for binding and stabilization of the resulting deprotonated N₂H₃^- unit.

Uncoupled Redox-Inactive Lewis Acids in the Secondary Coordination Sphere Entice Ligand-Based Nitrite Reduction.

Project description:Metal complexes composed of redox-active pyridinediimine (PDI) ligands are capable of forming ligand-centered radicals. In this Forum article, we demonstrate that integration of these types of redox-active sites with bioinspired secondary coordination sphere motifs produce direduced complexes, where the reduction potential of the ligand-based redox sites is uncoupled from the secondary coordination sphere. The utility of such ligand design was explored by encapsulating redox-inactive Lewis acidic cations via installation of a pendant benzo-15-crown-5 in the secondary coordination sphere of a series of Fe(PDI) complexes. Fe(15bz5PDI)(CO)2 was shown to encapsulate the redox-inactive alkali ion, Na+, causing only modest (31 mV) anodic shifts in the ligand-based redox-active sites. By uncoupling the Lewis acidic sites from the ligand-based redox sites, the pendant redox-inactive ion, Na+, can entice the corresponding counterion, NO2-, for reduction to NO. The subsequent initial rate analysis reveals an acceleration in anion reduction, confirming this hypothesis.

Coordination chemistry within a protein host: regulation of the secondary coordination sphere.

Project description:Secondary coordination spheres of metal complexes are instrumental in controlling properties that are linked to function. To study these effects in aqueous solutions artificial Cu proteins have been developed using biotin-streptavidin (Sav) technology and their binding of external azide ions investigated. Parallel binding studies were done in crystallo on single crystals of the artificial Cu proteins. Spectroscopic changes in solution are consistent with azide binding to the Cu centers. Structural studies corroborate that a Cu-N3 unit is present in each Sav subunit and reveal the composition of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) networks that include the coordinated azido ligand. The networks involve amino acid residues and water molecules within the secondary coordination sphere. Mutation of these residues to ones that cannot form H-bonds caused a measurble change in the equilibrium binding constants that were measured in solution. These findings further demonstrate the utility of biotin-Sav technology to prepare water-stable inorganic complexes whose structures can be controlled within both primary and secondary coordination spheres.

A Bidentate Ligand Featuring Ditopic Lewis Acids in the Second Sphere for Selective Substrate Capture and Activation.

Project description:We present a ligand platform featuring appended ditopic Lewis acids to facilitate capture/activation of diatomic substrates. We show that incorporation of two 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) units on a single carbon tethered to a pyridine pyrazole scaffold maintains a set of unquenched nitrogen donors available to coordinate FeII , ZnII , and NiII . Using hydride ion affinity and competition experiments, we establish an additive effect for ditopic secondary sphere boranes, compared to the monotopic analogue. These effects are exploited to achieve high selectivity for binding NO2 - in the presence of competitive anions such as F- and NO3 - . Finally, we demonstrate hydrazine capture within the second-sphere of metal complexes, followed by unique activation pathways to generate hydrazido and diazene ligands on Zn and Fe, respectively.

A Borane Lewis Acid in the Secondary Coordination Sphere of a Ni(II) Imido Imparts Distinct C-H Activation Selectivity.

Project description:Two borane-functionalized bidentate phosphine ligands that vary in tether length have been prepared to examine cooperative metal-substrate interactions. Ni(0) complexes react with aryl azides at low temperatures to form structurally unusual κ2-(N,N)-N3Ar adducts. Warming these adducts affords products of N2 extrusion and in one case, a Ni-imido compound that is capped by the appended borane. Reactions with 1-azidoadamantane (AdN3) provide a distinct outcome, where a proposed nickel imido intermediate activates the sp2 C-H bonds of arenes, even in the presence of benzylic C-H sites. Combined experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrate that the unique reactivity is a consequence of Lewis-acid-induced polarization of the Ni-NR bond, potentially providing a synthetic strategy for chemoselective reaction engineering.

Role of the secondary coordination sphere in metal-mediated dioxygen activation.

Project description:Alfred Werner proposed nearly 100 years ago that the secondary coordination sphere has a role in determining the physical properties of transition-metal complexes. We now know that the secondary coordination sphere impacts nearly all aspects of transition-metal chemistry, including the reactivity and selectivity in metal-mediated processes. These features are highlighted in the binding and activation of dioxygen by transition-metal complexes. There are clear connections between control of the secondary coordination sphere and the ability of metal complexes to (1) reversibly bind dioxygen or (2) bind and activate dioxygen to form highly reactive metal-oxo complexes. In this Forum Article, several biological and synthetic examples are presented and discussed in terms of structure-function relationships. Particular emphasis is given to systems with defined noncovalent interactions, such as intramolecular H-bonds involving dioxygen-derived ligands. To further illustrate these effects, the homolytic cleavage of C-H bonds by metal-oxo complexes with basic oxo ligands is described.

Pyridyl CO2 Fixation Enabled by a Secondary Hydrogen Bonding Coordination Sphere.

Project description:Reversible CO2 binders under ambient conditions are of significant interest for multiple applications in sensing and capture technologies. In this paper, a general systematic way to evaluate CO2 receptors with ?-systems is put forward. A series of receptors (five pyridine-based and one triazine-based) are evaluated as CO2 binders in terms of number of hydrogen bonding sites, strength of hydrogen bond donors, and number of nucleophilic sites. The binding of CO2 to the receptors was probed by computational models, absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and 1H NMR studies. Multiple solvents with varying ionic strength additives are probed to analyze the effects on CO2-bound intermediates. The receptors were screened progressively down-selecting through the different analytical techniques arriving at a promising pyridine receptor, which shows evidence of CO2 binding with each of the analytical techniques. The diaminopyridine motif demonstrates reversible CO2 binding and has convenient substitution sites for derivatization to incorporate into functional sensor systems.

Coordination Behavior of [Cp″2Zr(µ1:1-As4)] towards Lewis Acids.

Project description:The functionalization of the arsenic transfer reagent [Cp″2Zr(η1:1-As4)] (1) focuses on modifying its properties and enabling a broader scope of reactivity. The coordination behavior of 1 towards different Lewis-acidic transition metal complexes and main group compounds is investigated by experimental and computational studies. Depending on the steric requirements of the Lewis acids and the reaction temperature, a variety of new complexes with different coordination modes and coordination numbers could be synthesized. Depending on the Lewis acid (LA) used, a mono-substitution in [Cp″2Zr(µ,η1:1:1:1-As4)(LA)] (LA = Fe(CO)4 (4); B(C6F5)3 (7)) and [Cp″2Zr(µ,η3:1:1-As4)(Fe(CO)3)] (5) or a di-substitution [Cp″2Zr(µ3,η1:1:1:1-As4)(LA)2] (LA = W(CO)5 (2); CpMn(CO)2 (3); AlR3 (6, R = Me, Et, iBu)) are monitored. In contrast to other coordination products, 5 shows an η3 coordination in which the butterfly As4 ligand is rearranged to a cyclo-As4 ligand. The reported complexes are rationalized in terms of inverse coordination.

The Role of the Secondary Coordination Sphere in a Fungal Polysaccharide Monooxygenase.

Project description:Polysaccharide monooxygenases (PMOs) are secreted metalloenzymes that catalyze the oxidative degradation of polysaccharides in a copper-, oxygen-, and reductant-dependent manner. Cellulose-active fungal PMOs degrade cellulosic substrates to be utilized as a carbon source for fungal growth. To gain insight into the PMO mechanism, the role of conserved residues in the copper coordination sphere was investigated. Here, we report active-site hydrogen-bonding motifs in the secondary copper coordination sphere of MtPMO3*, a C1-oxidizing PMO from the ascomycete fungus Myceliophthora thermophila. A series of point substitutions that disrupt this conserved network are used to interrogate its function. Activity assays, in conjunction with EPR spectroscopy, demonstrate that residues H161 and Q167 are involved in stabilizing bound oxygen, and H161 appears to play a role in proton transfer. Additionally, Q167 increases the ligand donor strength of Y169 to the copper via a hydrogen-bonding interaction. Altogether, H161 and Q167 are important for oxygen activation, and the results are suggestive of a copper-oxyl active intermediate.

Outer coordination sphere influences on cofactor maturation and substrate oxidation by cytochrome P460.

Project description:Product selectivity of ammonia oxidation by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) is tightly controlled by metalloenzymes. Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) is responsible for the oxidation of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) to nitric oxide (NO). The non-metabolic enzyme cytochrome (cyt) P460 also oxidizes NH2OH, but instead produces nitrous oxide (N2O). While both enzymes use a heme P460 cofactor, they selectively oxidize NH2OH to different products. Previously reported structures of Nitrosomonas sp. AL212 cyt P460 show that a capping phenylalanine residue rotates upon ligand binding, suggesting that this Phe may influence substrate and/or product binding. Here, we show via substitutions of the capping Phe in Nitrosomonas europaea cyt P460 that the bulky phenyl side-chain promotes the heme-lysine cross-link forming reaction operative in maturing the cofactor. Additionally, the Phe side-chain plays an important role in modulating product selectivity between N2O and NO during NH2OH oxidation under aerobic conditions. A picture emerges where the sterics and electrostatics of the side-chain in this capping position control the kinetics of N2O formation and NO binding affinity. This demonstrates how the outer coordination sphere of cyt P460 is tuned not only for selective NH2OH oxidation, but also for the autocatalytic cross-link forming reaction that imbues activity to an otherwise inactive protein.

Synthesis of N-Heterocycle Substituted Silyl Ligands within the Coordination Sphere of Iron.

Project description:N-Heterocycle-substituted silyl iron complexes have been synthesized by nucleophilic substitution at trichlorosilyl ligands bound to iron. The homoleptic (tripyrrolyl)- and tris(3-methylindolyl)silyl groups were accessed from (Cl3Si)CpFe(CO)2 (Cl3SiFp) by substitution of chloride with pyrrolide or 3-methylindolide, respectively. Analogously, nucleophilic substitution of Cl with pyrrolide on the anionic Fe(0) synthon Cl3SiFe(CO)4 - generates the (tripyrrolyl)silyl ligand, bound to the iron tetracarbonyl fragment. The bulkier 2-mesitylpyrrolide substitutes a maximum of 2 chlorides on Cl3SiFp under the same conditions. The tridentate, trianionic nucleophile tmim (tmimH3 = tris(3-methylindol-2-yl)methane) proves reluctant to perform the substitution in a straightforward manner; instead, ring-opening and incorporation of THF occurs to form the tris-THF adduct tmim(C4H8O)3SiFe(CO)4 -. The bidentate, monoanionic nucleophile 2-(dipp-iminomethyl)pyrrolide (DippIMP, dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) shows chloride displacement and addition of a second DippIMP moiety on the imine backbone. The heterocycle-based silyl ligands were shown to be sterically and electronically tunable, moderately electron-donating ligands. The presented approach to new silyl ligands avoids strongly reducing conditions and potentially reactive hydrosilane intermediates.
