Carboxylate as the protonation site in (Peroxo)diiron(III) model complexes of soluble methane monooxygenase and related diiron proteins.

چکیده
Addition of H(+) to a synthetic (mu-1,2-peroxo)diiron(III) model complex results in protonation of a carboxylate rather than the peroxo ligand. This conclusion is based on spectroscopic evidence from UV-vis, (57)Fe Mossbauer, resonance Raman, infrared, and (1)H/(19)F NMR studies. These results suggest a similar role for protons in the dioxygen activation reactions in soluble methane monooxygenase and related carboxylate-bridged diiron enzymes.

Dioxygen activation in soluble methane monooxygenase.
The controlled oxidation of methane to methanol is a chemical transformation of great value, particularly in the pursuit of alternative fuels, but the reaction remains underutilized industrially because of inefficient and costly synthetic procedures. In contrast, methane monooxygenase enzymes (MMOs) from methanotrophic bacteria achieve this chemistry efficiently under ambient conditions. In thi...
متن کاملDioxygen Activation and Substrate Hydroxylation by the Hydroxylase Component of Toluene/o-xylene Monooxygenase
Non-heme carboxylate-bridged diiron centers in the hydroxylase components of the bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases activate dioxygen at structurally homologous active sites. Catalysis requires the management of four substrates: electrons, protons, dioxygen, and hydrocarbons. Protein component complexes control the delivery of these substrates to the diiron center in the hydroxylase ensuri...

متن کاملRevisiting the mechanism of dioxygen activation in soluble methane monooxygenase from M. capsulatus (Bath): evidence for a multi-step, proton-dependent reaction pathway.
Stopped-flow kinetic investigations of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) from M. capsulatus (Bath) have clarified discrepancies that exist in the literature regarding several aspects of catalysis by this enzyme. The development of thorough kinetic analytical techniques has led to the discovery of two novel oxygenated iron species that accumulate in addition to the well-established intermedia...
متن کامل(19)F NMR study of ligand dynamics in carboxylate-bridged diiron(II) complexes supported by a macrocyclic ligand.
A series of asymmetrically carboxylate-bridged diiron(ii) complexes featuring fluorine atoms as NMR spectroscopic probes, [Fe2(PIM)(Ar(4F-Ph)CO2)2] (10), [Fe2(F2PIM)(Ar(Tol)CO2)2] (11), and [Fe2(F2PIM)(Ar(4F-Ph)CO2)2] (12), were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and VT (19)F NMR spectroscopy. These complexes are part of a rare family of syn N-donor dii...
