RESUMO
The reactivity of the previously reported peroxo adduct [FeIII 2 (µ-O2 )(MeBzim-Py)4 (CH3 CN)2 ]4+ (1) (MeBzim-Py=2-(2'-pyridyl)-N-methylbenzimidazole) towards aldehyde substrates including phenylacetaldehyde (PAA), hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCA), propionaldehyde (PA), 2-phenylpropionaldehyde (PPA), cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (CCA), and para-substituted benzaldehydes (benzoyl chlorides) has been investigated. Complex 1 proved to be a nucleophilic oxidant in aldehyde deformylation reaction. These models, including detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies, may serve as the first biomimics of aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) enzymes.

Heme-type catalase is a class of oxidoreductase enzymes responsible for the biological defense against oxidative damage of cellular components caused by hydrogen peroxide, where metal-oxo species are proposed as reactive intermediates. To get more insight into the mechanism of this curious reaction a non-heme structural and functional model was carried out by the use of a mononuclear complex [FeII(N4Py*)(CH3CN)](CF3SO3)2 (N4Py* = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)- 1,2-di(2-pyridyl)ethylamine) as a catalyst, where the possible reactive intermediates, high-valent FeIV=O and FeIII-OOH are known and spectroscopically well characterized. The kinetics of the dismutation of H2O2 into O2 and H2O was investigated in buffered water, where the reactivity of the catalyst was markedly influenced by the pH, and it revealed Michaelis-Menten behavior with KM = 1.39 M, kcat = 33 s-1 and k2(kcat/KM) = 23.9 M-1s-1 at pH 9.5. A mononuclear [(N4Py)FeIV=O]2+ as a possible intermediate was also prepared, and the pH dependence of its stability and reactivity in aqueous solution against H2O2 was also investigated. Based on detailed kinetic, and mechanistic studies (pH dependence, solvent isotope effect (SIE) of 6.2 and the saturation kinetics for the initial rates versus the H2O2 concentration with KM = 18 mM) lead to the conclusion that the rate-determining step in these reactions above involves hydrogen-atom transfer between the iron-bound substrate and the Fe(IV)-oxo species.

The chiral pentadentate low-spin (S = 1) oxoiron(IV) complex [FeIV(O)(asN4Py)]2+ (2) was synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Its formation kinetics, reactivity, and (enantio)selectivity in an oxygen-atom-transfer reaction was investigated in detail and compared to a similar pentadentate ligand-containing system.
RESUMO
Solid-state stereochemistry and mobility of paramagnetic copper(II) complexes formed by aliphatic amino acids (l-alanine, d,l-alanine, 1-amino-2-methyl-alanine) and 1-amino(cyclo)alkane-1-carboxylic acids (alkane = propane, butane, pentane, hexane) as bidentate ligands has been studied by (13)C and (2)H solid-state fast magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. We examined the prospective method to characterize solid-state paramagnetic compounds in a routine way. Both (13)C and (2)H MAS spectra can distinguish d,l and l,l diastereomers of natural and polydeuterated bis([Dn]alaninato)copper(II) (n = 0, 2, 8) complexes with axial and/or equatorial methyl positions (conformations) primarily due to different Fermi-contact (FC) contributions. The three-bond hyperfine couplings clearly show Karplus-like dependence on the torsional angles which turned out to be a useful assignment aid. Density functional theory calculations of the FC term and crystal structures were also used to aid the final assignments. The correlations obtained for bis(alaninato-κ(2)N,O)copper(II) complexes were successfully used to characterize other complexes. The usefulness of the (2)H MAS spectra of the deuterated complexes was underlined. Even the spectra of the easily exchangeable amine protons contained essential stereochemical information. In the case of a dimer structure of bis(1-aminohexane-1-carboxylato-κ(2)N,O)copper(II) both the (13)C and (2)H resolutions were good enough to confirm the presence of the cis and trans forms in the asymmetric unit. With regard to the internal solid-state motions in the crystal lattice, the obtained quadrupolar tensor parameters were similar for the d,l- and l,l-alaninato isomers and also for the cis-trans forms suggesting similar crystal packing effects, static amine deuterons involved in hydrogen bonding, and fast rotating methyl groups.

Six dichloroiron(III) complexes of 1,3-bis(2'-arylimino)isoindoline (BAIH) with various N-donor aryl groups have been characterized by spectroscopy (infrared, UV-vis), electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry), microanalysis, and in two cases X-ray crystallography. The structurally characterized Fe(III)Cl(2)(L(n)) complexes (n = 3, L(3) = 1,3-bis(2'-thiazolylimino)isoindoline and n = 5, L(5) = 1,3-bis(4-methyl-2'-piridylimino)isoindoline) are five-coordinate, trigonal bipyramidal with the isoindoline ligands occupying the two axial and one equatorial positions meridionally. These compounds served as precursors for catechol dioxygenase models that were formed in solution upon addition of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (H(2)DBC) and excess triethylamine. These adducts react with dioxygen in N,N-dimethylformamide, and the analysis of the products by chromatography and mass spectrometry showed high intradiol over extradiol selectivity (the intradiol/extradiol product ratios varied between 46.5 and 6.5). Kinetic measurements were performed by following the change in the intensity of the catecholate to iron ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) band, the energy of which is influenced by the isoindolinate-ligand (827-960 nm). In combination with electrochemical investigations the kinetic studies revealed an inverse trend between reaction rates and oxidation potentials associated with the coordinated DBC(2-). On the basis of these results, a substrate activation mechanism is suggested for this system in which the geometry of the peroxide-bridged intermediate may be of key importance in regioselectivity.

The complex [Fe(indH)(solvent)3](ClO4)2 (1) has been isolated from the reaction of equimolar amounts of 1,3-bis(2'-pyridylimino)isoindoline (indH) and Fe(ClO4)2 in acetonitrile and characterized by X-ray crystallography and several spectroscopic techniques. It is a suitable catalyst for the oxidation of thioanisoles and benzyl alcohols with H2O2 as the oxidant. Hammett correlations and kinetic isotope effect experiments support the involvement of an electrophilic metal-based oxidant. A metastable green species (2) is observed when 1 is reacted with H2O2 at -40 °C, which has been characterized to have a FeIII(µ-O)(µ-O2)FeIII core on the basis of UV-Vis, electron paramagnetic resonance, resonance Raman, and X-ray absorption spectroscopic data.

Acetonitrile is easily oxygenated at ambient reaction conditions to copper(II) oxalate [Cu(bpy)(ox)] n mediated by copper(I) chloride in the presence of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol and 2,2'-bipyridine. In the case of other nitriles (e.g., propionitrile), instead, the unusual and selective 1,4-extradiol cleavage of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol occurs to give copper(II) tert-butylmaleate [Cu(bma)(bpy)(H2O)]n in good yield.
RESUMO
The mononuclear [Mn(6'Me(2)indH)(H(2)O)(2)(CH(3)CN)](ClO(4))(2) (6'Me(2)indH: 1,3-bis(6'-methyl-2'-pyridylimino)isoindoline) complex has been prepared and characterized by various techniques such as elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible and ESR spectroscopy. The title compound was suitable as catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBCH(2)) to 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone (3,5-DTBQ) (catecholase activity), and o-aminophenol (OAPH) to 2-aminophenoxazine-3-one (APX) (phenoxazinone synthase activity) with dioxygen at ambient condition in good yields. Kinetic measurements revealed first-order dependence on the catalyst and dioxygen concentration and saturation type behavior with respect to the corresponding substrate. It was also found that the added triethylamine in both systems accelerates the reaction.

The cerium(IV)-mediated oxidation of 3-hydroxy-4'-methylflavone (1) proceeds by H-atom abstraction forming the flavonoxy radical (7), and the subsequent combination of its resonance forms leads to the 3-hydroxy-4'-methylflavone dehydro dimer (9). The above system serves as direct evidence for the intermediacy of the flavonoxy radical, its spin delocalization, and also indirect evidence for valence tautomerism as a key step on the substrate activation both in the quercetinase and its biomimic model system.

The reactivity of the previously reported peroxo adducts [Fe2(µ-O2)(L(1))4(CH3CN)2](2+), and [Fe2(µ-O2)(L(2))4(CH3CN)2](2+), (L(1) = 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole and L(2) = 2-(2'-pyridyl)-N-methylbenzimidazole) towards H2O2 as catalase mimics, and towards various phenols as functional RNR-R2 mimics, is described. Kinetic, mechanistic and computational studies gave direct evidence for the involvement of the (µ-1,2-peroxo)diiron(iii) intermediate in the O-H activation process via formation of low-spin oxoiron(iv) species.
RESUMO
The reaction of 1H-2-phenyl-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinoline (PhquinH(2); 1) with metallic copper leads to Cu(II)(PhquinH)(2) while in the presence of PPh(3) to Cu(I)(2)Cu(II)(Phquin)(2)(PPh(3))(4). In the presence of tmeda and O(2) ring cleavage occurs to give Cu(II)(tmeda)(PhquinH)(N-baa). Both reactions represent a mild N-H activation and an oxidative C-C bond scission.
RESUMO
The preparation and characterization of dinuclear [M(II)(dbcat)(idpa)](2) (M[double bond]Zn (1), Cu (3); dbcat[double bond]3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate; idpa[double bond]3,3'-iminobis(N,N-dimethylpropylamine)) complexes are described. Crystallographic characterization of the complex [Cu(II)(dbcat)(idpa)](2) has shown that the co-ordination geometry around copper(II) ions is distorted square pyramidal (triclinic, P-1, a=10.576(1) A, b=11.927(1) A, c=12.621(1) A, alpha=77.89(1) degrees, beta=88.65(1) degrees, gamma=70.21(1) degrees, V=1462.7(2) A(3), Z=2, R=0.0387). Both 1 and 3 were suitable catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of dbcatH(2) to dtbq (dtbq=3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone) with dioxygen at ambient conditions in good yields. However, on the basis of kinetic studies the copper- and zinc-catalyzed reactions showed different mechanisms. In the first case valence tautomerism [Cu(II)(dbcat)(idpa)]<==>[Cu(I)(dbsq)(idpa)] precedes the reaction with O(2), while with the zinc complex metal-bound catecholate reacts directly with O(2) with the formation of free superoxide anion.

This study reports the kinetics and mechanism of Fe(III)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation and deamination of a series of acyclic (α-aminoisobutyric acid, α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid, alanine, norvaline, and 2-aminobutyric acid) and cyclic (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, 1-amino-1-cyclobutanecarboxylic acid, 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid, and 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylicacid) amino acids using hydrogen peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, iodosylbenzene, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, and peroxomonosulphate as oxidant in 75% DMF-25% water solvent mixture. Model complex [Fe(IV)O(SALEN)](â¢+) (SALENH2: N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) was generated by the reaction of Fe(III)(SALEN)Cl and H2O2 in CH3CN at 278 K as reported earlier. This method provided us high-valent oxoiron species, stable enough to ensure the direct observation of the reaction with amino acids.

The mononuclear complex, Fe(III)(O-bs)(salen) (salenH(2)=1,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-diaza-hexa-1,5-diene; O-bsH=O-benzoylsalicylic acid) was synthesized as synthetic enzyme-depside complex, and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystal analysis. The dioxygenation of flavonol (flaH) and 3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (quinH(2)) derivatives in the presence of catalytic amounts of Fe(III)(O-bs)(salen) results in the oxidative cleavage of the heterocyclic ring to give the corresponding O-benzoylsalicylic and anthranilic acid derivatives with concomitant release of carbon monoxide. These reactions can be regarded as biomimetic functional models with relevance to the iron-containing flavonol and the cofactor-independent 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone 2,4-dioxygenases.

Mononuclear complexes of N-methylpropanoate-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (MPBMPA) and N-propanoate-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (HPBMPA) with first row transition metals from Mn to Cu were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy (infrared, UV-visible), electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry), microanalysis and in four cases X-ray crystallography. Structure of the complexes revealed high flexibility of these ligands that can adopt facial (Fe) and meridional (Cu) geometry. Activity in the degradation of reactive oxygen species (superoxide radical anion: superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and hydrogen peroxide: catalase-like activity) was tested throughout the complex series in aqueous solutions. In connection with the catalytic dismutation of H(2)O(2), bleaching tests with morin were also conducted in water. Comparison of the two ligands helped in elucidating the possible role of the carboxylate moiety in the different catalytic reactions. Although no general trends could be revealed between reactivity and constitution of the first coordination sphere, plausible explanations for differences are discussed individually for SOD like, catalase-like and bleaching activity.
