Secondary Coordination Sphere Influence on the Reactivity of Nonheme Iron(II) Complexes: An Experimental and DFT Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new biomimetic ligands N4Py(2Ph) (1) and N4Py(2Ph,amide) (2) were synthesized and yield the iron(II) complexes [Fe(II)(N4Py(2Ph))(NCCH3)](BF4)2 (3) and [Fe(II)(N4Py(2Ph,amide))](BF4)2 (5). Controlled orientation of the Ph substituents in 3 leads to facile triplet spin reactivity for a putative Fe(IV)(O) intermediate, resulting in rapid arene hydroxylation. Addition of a peripheral amide substituent within hydrogen-bond distance of the iron first coordination sphere leads to stabilization of a high-spin Fe(III)OOR species which decays without arene hydroxylation. These results provide new insights regarding the impact of secondary coordination sphere effects at nonheme iron centers.

The interactions between N-hydroxyurea (NHU) as anticancer drug and SWCNTs (pure and Fe-doped) were investigated with density functional theory. In this study, large long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP and B3LYP were employed to investigate the stability of the different NHU-CNT and NHU/Fe-CNT complexes in the gas phase and solution (water). The presence of an iron atom would create suitable space o...
متن کاملTuning reactivity and mechanism in oxidation reactions by mononuclear nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes.
Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent iron(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of dioxygen activation. In 2003, researchers first spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme iron(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine: α-ketogultarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme iron enzyme with an iro...
