  • A Synthetic Model of the Putative Fe(II)-Iminobenzosemiquinonate Intermediate in the Catalytic Cycle of o-Aminophenol Dioxygenases
    2012
    Co-Authors: Michael M. Bittner, Sergey V. Lindeman, Adam T. Fiedler
    Abstract:

    The oxidative ring cleavage of aromatic substrates by nonheme Fe dioxygenases is thought to involve formation of a ferrous–(substrate radical) intermediate. Here we describe the synthesis of the trigonal-bipyramdial complex Fe­(Ph2Tp)­(ISQtBu) (2), the first Synthetic example of an iron­(II) center bound to an iminobenzosemiquinonate (ISQ) radical. The unique electronic structure of this S = 3/2 complex and its one-electron oxidized derivative ([3]+) have been established on the basis of crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational analyses. These findings further demonstrate the viability of Fe2+–ISQ intermediates in the catalytic cycles of o-aminophenol dioxygenases

  • insights into the p to q conversion in the catalytic cycle of methane monooxygenase from a Synthetic Model system
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2008
    Co-Authors: Genqiang Xue, Adam T. Fiedler, Marlene Martinho, Eckard Munck, Lawrence Que
    Abstract:

    For the catalytic cycle of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO), it has been proposed that cleavage of the O–O bond in the (μ-peroxo)diiron(III) intermediate P gives rise to the diiron(IV) intermediate Q with an Fe2(μ–O)2 diamond core, which oxidizes methane to methanol. As a Model for this conversion, (μ–oxo) diiron(III) complex 1 ([FeIII2(μ–O)(μ–O2H3)(L)2]3+, L = tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridyl-2-methyl)amine) has been treated consecutively with one eq of H2O2 and one eq of HClO4 to form 3 ([FeIV2(μ–O)2(L)2]4+). In the course of this reaction a new species, 2, can be observed before the protonation step; 2 gives rise to a cationic peak cluster by ESI-MS at m/z 1,399, corresponding to the {[Fe2O3L2H](OTf)2}+ ion in which 1 oxygen atom derives from 1 and the other two originate from H2O2. Mossbauer studies of 2 reveal the presence of two distinct, exchange coupled iron(IV) centers, and EXAFS fits indicate a short Fe–O bond at 1.66 Å and an Fe–Fe distance of 3.32 Å. Taken together, the spectroscopic data point to an HO-FeIV-O-FeIV = O core for 2. Protonation of 2 results in the loss of H2O and the formation of 3. Isotope labeling experiments show that the [FeIV2(μ–O)2] core of 3 can incorporate both oxygen atoms from H2O2. The reactions described here serve as the only biomimetic precedent for the conversion of intermediates P to Q in the sMMO reaction cycle and shed light on how a peroxodiiron(III) unit can transform into an [FeIV2(μ–O)2] core.

  • Synthetic Model complex of the key intermediate in cytochrome p450 nitric oxide reductase
    Inorganic Chemistry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Ashley B Mcquarters, Elizabeth J Blaesi, Jeff W Kampf, Ercan E Alp, Jiyong Zhao, Carsten Krebs, Nicolai Lehnert
    Abstract:

    Fungal denitrification plays a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle and contributes to the total N2O emission from agricultural soils. Here, cytochrome P450 NO reductase (P450nor) reduces two NO to N2O using a single heme site. Despite much research, the exact nature of the critical “Intermediate I” responsible for the key N–N coupling step in P450nor is unknown. This species likely corresponds to a Fe-NHOH-type intermediate with an unknown electronic structure. Here we report a new strategy to generate a Model system for this intermediate, starting from the iron(III) methylhydroxylamide complex [Fe(3,5-Me-BAFP)(NHOMe)] (1), which was fully characterized by 1H NMR, UV–vis, electron paramagnetic resonance, and vibrational spectroscopy (rRaman and NRVS). Our data show that 1 is a high-spin ferric complex with an N-bound hydroxylamide ligand that is strongly coordinated (Fe–N distance, 1.918 A; Fe-NHOMe stretch, 558 cm–1). Simple one-electron oxidation of 1 at −80 °C then cleanly generates the first Model syst...
