Reactivity of [{Mn(IV)(salpn)}(2)(&mgr;-O,&mgr;-OCH(3))](+) and [{Mn(IV)(salpn)}(2)(&mgr;-O,&mgr;-OH)](+): Effects of Proton Lability and Hydrogen Bonding.

It was previously shown that the addition of 1 equiv of a strong acid to [Mn(IV)(salpn)(&mgr;-O)](2), 1, generates the oxo/hydroxo complex [{Mn(IV)(salpn)}(2)(&mgr;-O,&mgr;-OH)](CF(3)SO(3)), 2, which emphasized the basicity of the &mgr;(2)-O(2)(-) units in the [Mn(IV)(&mgr;-O)](2) dimers. We now demonstrate the inherent nucleophilicity of those &mgr;(2)-O(2)(-) units by showing that the addition of methyl triflate to 1 results in formation of the oxo/methoxo-bridged Mn(IV) dimer [{Mn(IV)(salpn)}(2)(&mgr;-O,&mgr;-OCH(3))](CF(3)SO(3)), 3. EXAFS analysis of 3 demonstrates that alkylation of an oxo bridge results in the same structural modification of the [Mn(IV)(&mgr;-O)](2) core as an oxo bridge protonation. Electrochemical and spectroscopic comparisons of 3 to 2 indicate that 3 is a good electronic structure analogue for 2 without the complication of proton lability and hydrogen bonding. Indeed, 2 and 3 react nearly identically with hydrogen peroxide and with strong acids. In contrast, the products of their reactions with amines, acetate, and triphenylphosphine are dramatically different. The proton lability of 2 results in simple proton transfer, circumventing the slower redox reactions of these substrates with 3. Isotopic labeling, kinetic, and EPR-monitored radical trap studies lead to a proposed reduction-oxidation mechanistic scheme for the reactions of 3 with amines and triphenylphosphine. The Mn(III) product of this reaction, [Mn(III)(salpn)(Ph(3)PO)](CF(3)SO(3)), was isolated and crystallographically characterized as a dimerized complex. The redox nature of the reactions is confirmed by trapping of a reduced Mn intermediate which is identified by EPR spectroscopy. Comparison of the reactions of 2 and 3 demonstrates the dramatic effect of proton lability and hydrogen bonding on reactivity, and suggests how metalloenzymes may regulate active site reactivity to produce very different catalytic activities with similar active site structures. Furthermore, it also emphasizes that caution should be used when the reactivity of model compounds with easily and rapidly dissociable protons is assessed.

The Preparation, Characterization, and Magnetism of Copper 15-Metallacrown-5 Lanthanide Complexes.

The preparation and characterization of a series of encapsulated-lanthanide 15-metallacrown-5 complexes are reported. Planar ligands such as picoline hydroxamic acid (picha) or nonplanar alpha-amino hydroxamic acids (e.g., glycine hydroxamic acid (glyha)) led to one-step syntheses of metallacrowns in yields as high as 85%. The reaction of the appropriate hydroxamic acid with copper acetate and (1)/(5) equiv of gadolinium(III) or europium(III) nitrates in DMF or water yielded crystals of Gd(NO(3))(3)[15-MC(Cu(II)N(picha))-5], 1, Eu(NO(3))(3)[15-MC(Cu(II)N(picha))-5], 2, and Eu(NO(3))(3)[15-MC(Cu(II)N(glyha))-5], 3. Several other 15-metallacrown-5 complexes were synthesized with (1) Cu(II) or Ni(II) in the metallacrown ring metal position, (2) various lanthanides (La(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), and Yb(III)) encapsulated in the center of the ring, and (3) chiral alpha-amino hydroxamic acids (e.g., phenylalanine hydroxamic acid (H(2)pheha), leucine hydroxamic acid (H(2)leuha), and tyrosine hydroxamic acid (H(2)tyrha)). It is believed that all of the complexes containing Cu(II) ions have the ring metals either in four-coordinate, square-planar environments, bound to two tetradentate hydroximate ligands, or in five-coordinate, square-pyramidal geometries if solvent is bound. Spectroscopic and magnetic characterization of the Ni(II) complexes suggests that they are either five- or six-coordinate. The encapsulated lanthanides are generally pentagonal bipyramidal, with five oxygen donors from the metallacrown ring and solvent or bidentate nitrate ions in the axial positions. The circular arrangement of ions results in interesting magnetic behavior. With Dy(III) encapsulated in the center of the ring, a magnetic moment as high as 10.9 &mgr;(B) is achieved. Analysis of the variable-temperature susceptibility of La(NO(3))(3)[15-MC(Cu(II)N(picha))-5] indicates that the five Cu(II) ions are antiferromagnetically coupled, forming an S = (1)/(2) ground spin state with a moment of 1.7 &mgr;(B) at liquid helium temperatures. Complex 1 shows ferromagnetic coupling of the Gd(III) ion to the five Cu ions at temperatures below 15 K. Studies of the metallacrown complexes in solution show that they are stable and soluble in DMF and water. A proton relaxation study on complex 1 has revealed a relaxivity of 9.8 mM(-)(1) s(-)(1) (20 degrees C and 30 MHz), a value that is comparable to those of clinically useful MRI contrast enhancement agents. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 12.657(3) Å, b = 14.833(3) Å, c = 17.707(3) Å, alpha = 79.65(2) degrees, beta = 86.06(2) degrees, gamma = 68.69(2) degrees, V = 3046.6(12) Å, and Z = 2 (R1 = 0.0534, wR2 = 0.1289). Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with a = 16.319(2) Å, b = 21.863(2) Å, c = 18.410(3) Å, beta = 96.85(1) degrees, V = 6522(2) Å(3), and Z = 4 (R1 = 0.0463, wR2 = 0.0750). Complex 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 11. 173(6) Å, b = 11.534(6) Å, c = 13.311(5) Å, alpha = 93.81(3) degrees, beta = 94.82(4) degrees, gamma = 107.20(4) degrees, V = 1625(2) Å(3), and Z = 2 (R1 = 0.1230, wR2 = 0.2979).

Structural and Solution Characterization of Mononuclear Vanadium(IV) Complexes That Help To Elucidate the Active Site Structure of the Reduced Vanadium Haloperoxidases.

The complexes [VO(H(2)O)ada] (1), [VO(H(2)O)Hheida] (2), and [VO(H(2)O)aeida] (3) (H(2)ada, N-(carbamoylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid; H(3)heida, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid; H(2)aeida, N-(2-aminoethyl)iminodiacetic acid) were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Crystallographic parameters for 1.2H(2)O: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c (No. 14), a = 7.327(2) Å, b = 23.386(7) Å, c = 7.258(3) Å, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 110.95(2) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 1204.6(7) Å(3), Z = 4, R1 = 0.0353, and wR(2)() = 0.0848. Crystallographic parameters for 2.H(2)O: orthorhombic, space group Pbca (No. 61), a = 10.512(2) Å, b = 11.727(2) Å, c = 16.719(5) Å, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 2060.6(8) Å(3), Z = 8, R1 = 0.0297, and wR(2)() = 0.0758. Crystallographic parameters for 3: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c (No. 14), a = 6.785(1) Å, b = 9.714(2) Å, c = 14.959(2) Å, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 95.12(1) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 982.2(3) Å(3), Z = 4, R1 = 0.0298, and wR(2)() = 0.0762. In each structure, the tetradentate ligand is disposed so that the tertiary nitrogen is bound trans to the vanadyl oxo, and the rest of the donors occupy equatorial coordination positions. In solution, the structural integrity of these compounds is maintained as observed by UV/visible and EPR spectroscopies, and axial ligation by nitrogen is inferred on the basis of ESEEM spectroscopy. The implications of this study with respect to understanding the coordination environment of VO(2+) in the reduced, inactive form of vanadium bromoperoxidase (VBrPO) are discussed, and it is proposed that significant changes in the coordination environment of vanadium in VBrPO occur upon its reduction, which may provide a plausible explanation for its irreversible inactivation.

The [Mn(2)(2-OHsalpn)(2)](2-,-,0,+) System: Synthesis, Structure, Spectroscopy, and Magnetism of the First Structurally Characterized Dinuclear Manganese Series Containing Four Distinct Oxidation States.

The series of complexes [Mn(2)(2-OH(Xsal)pn)(2)](2-,-,0,+) [where 2-OH(Xsal)pn represents substituted-phenyl-ring derivatives (X = H, 5-Cl, 3,5-Cl(2), 5-NO(2)) of 1,3-bis(salicylideneamino)-2-propanol] allow for the first detailed structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic study of a series of complexes that are the most active functional models for the manganese catalases. Representative examples of each oxidation state of the series (mimicking all of the known oxidation states for the enzyme's reaction chemistry) have been crystallographically characterized. The molecules presented herein are described as symmetric derivatives because they form dimers with both of the ligands spanning both Mn ions with the alkoxide on the backbone of the ligand bridging the metals. The variation in Mn-Mn separation across the four structures is 0.11 Å [Mn(II)-Mn(II) = 3.33 Å; Mn(II)-Mn(III) = 3.25 Å; Mn(III)-Mn(III) = 3.36 Å; Mn(III)-Mn(IV) = 3.25 Å], showing that the basic core structure is highly invariant. Nonetheless, significant structural changes in the polyhedra of each manganese ion can be observed across the range of metal oxidation states. These symmetric structures are distinct from the previously described asymmetric {[Mn(2)(2-OH(Xsal)pn)(2)](sol)}(0,+) structures which have only one bridging alkoxide and one monodentate solvent bound to the Mn(III) ion. These two forms (symmetric and asymmetric) are reminiscent of the carboxylate shift in metal carboxylate chemistry and illustrate how alkoxide ligands can participitate in an analogous alkoxide shift in order to generate a binding site for an incoming ligand, such as methanol, or substrate, such as hydrogen peroxide. This is the first series that allows the observation of the effect of subtle changes in geometry on the sign if not the magnitude of magnetic exchange in dimeric systems across a range of oxidation states. Regardless of the symmetric or asymmetric nature of the complex, the exchange parameter J was found to be very low; however, both ferro- and antiferromagnetic exchange can be realized with these dimers.
