Abstract
A heme model system has been developed in which the heme-propionate is the only proton donating/accepting site, using protoporphyrin IX-monomethyl esters (PPIX(MME)) and N-methylimidazole (MeIm). Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of these model compounds have been examined in acetonitrile solvent. (PPIX(MME))Fe(III)(MeIm)(2)-propionate (Fe(III)~CO(2)) is readily reduced by the ascorbate derivative 5,6-isopropylidine ascorbate to give (PPIX(MME))Fe(II)(MeIm)(2)-propionic acid (Fe(II)~CO(2)H). An excess of the hydroxylamine TEMPOH or of hydroquinone similarly reduces Fe(III)~CO(2), and TEMPO and benzoquinone oxidize Fe(II)~CO(2)H to return to Fe(III)~CO(2). The measured equilibrium constants, and the determined pK(a) and E(1/2) values, indicate that Fe(II)~CO(2)H has an effective bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 67.8 ± 0.6 kcal mol(-1). In these PPIX models, electron transfer occurs at the iron center and proton transfer occurs at the remote heme propionate. According to thermochemical and other arguments, the TEMPOH reaction occurs by concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET), and a similar pathway is indicated for the ascorbate derivative. Based on these results, heme propionates should be considered as potential key components of PCET/CPET active sites in heme proteins.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 catalyze a range of different oxygen-transfer processes including aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation, epoxidation, and sulfoxidation reactions. Herein, we have investigated substrate sulfoxidation mediated by models of P450 enzymes as well as by biomimetic oxidants using density functional-theory methods and we have rationalized the sulfoxidation reaction barriers and rate constants. We carried out two sets of calculations: first, we calculated the sulfoxidation by an iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin cation radical oxidant [Fe(IV)=O(Por(+.))SH] that mimics the active site of cytochrome P450 enzymes with a range of different substrates, and second, we studied one substrate (dimethyl sulfide) with a selection of different iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin cation radical oxidants [Fe(IV)=O(Por(+.))L] with varying axial ligands L. The study presented herein shows that the barrier height for substrate sulfoxidation correlates linearly with the ionization potential of the substrate, thus reflecting the electron-transfer processes in the rate-determining step of the reaction. Furthermore, the axial ligand of the oxidant influences the pK(a) value of the iron(IV)-oxo group, and, as a consequence, the bond dissociation energy (BDE(OH) value correlates with the barrier height for the reverse sulfoxidation reaction. These studies have generalized substrate-sulfoxidation reactions and have shown how they fundamentally compare with substrate hydroxylation and epoxidation reactions.

Abstract
Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), a key step in many chemical, environmental, and biological processes, is one of the fundamental chemical reactions: A-H + B → A + H-B. Traditional HAT involves p-block radicals such as tert-BuO(•) abstracting H(•) from organic molecules. More recently, the recognition that transition metal species undergo HAT has led to a broader perspective, with HAT viewed as a type of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). When transition metal complexes oxidize substrates by removing H(•) (e(-) + H(+)), typically the electron transfers to the metal and the proton to a ligand. Examples with iron-imidazolinate, vanadium-oxo, and many other complexes are discussed. Although these complexes may not "look like" main group radicals, they have the same pattern of reactivity. For instance, their HAT rate constants parallel the A-H bond strengths within a series of similar reactions. Like main group radicals, they abstract H(•) much faster from O-H bonds than from C-H bonds of the same strength, showing that driving force is not the only determinant of reactivity. This Account describes our development of a conceptual framework for HAT with a Marcus theory approach. In the simplest model, the cross relation uses the self-exchange rate constants (k(AH/A) for AH + A) and the equilibrium constant to predict the rate constant for AH + B: k(AH/B) = (k(AH/A)k(BH/B)K(eq)f)(1/2). For a variety of transition metal oxidants, k(AH/B) is predicted within one or two orders of magnitude with only a few exceptions. For 36 organic reactions of oxyl radicals, k(AH/B) is predicted with an average deviation of a factor of 3.8, and within a factor of 5 for all but six of the reactions. These reactions involve both O-H or C-H bonds, occur in either water or organic solvents, and occur over a range of 10(28) in K(eq) and 10(13) in k(AH/B). The treatment of organic reactions includes the well-established kinetic solvent effect on HAT reactions. This is one of a number of secondary effects that the simple cross relation does not include, such as hydrogen tunneling and the involvement of precursor and successor complexes. This Account includes a number of case studies to illustrate these and various other issues. The success of the cross relation, despite its simplicity, shows that the Marcus approach based on free energies and intrinsic barriers captures much of the essential chemistry of HAT reactions. Among the insights derived from the analysis is that reactions correlate with free energies, not with bond enthalpies. Moreover, the radical character or spin state of an oxidant is not a primary determinant of HAT abstracting ability. The intrinsic barriers for HAT reactions can be understood, at least in part, as Marcus-type inner-sphere reorganization energies. The intrinsic barriers for diverse cross reactions are accurately obtained from the HAT self-exchange rate constants, a remarkable and unprecedented result for any type of chemical reaction other than electron transfer. The Marcus cross relation thus provides a valuable new framework for understanding and predicting HAT reactivity.

Abstract
Ascorbate (vitamin C) is a ubiquitous biological cofactor. While its aqueous solution chemistry has long been studied, many in vivo reactions of ascorbate occur in enzyme active sites or at membrane interfaces, which have varying local environments. This report shows that the rate and driving force of oxidations of two ascorbate derivatives by the TEMPO radical (2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl) in acetonitrile are very sensitive to the presence of various additives. These reactions proceed by the transfer of a proton and an electron (a hydrogen atom), as is typical of biological ascorbate reactions. The measured rate and equilibrium constants vary substantially with added water or other polar solutes in acetonitrile solutions, indicating large shifts in the reducing power of ascorbate. The correlation of rate and equilibrium constants indicates that this effect has a thermochemical origin rather than being a purely kinetic effect. This contrasts with previous examples of solvent effects on hydrogen atom transfer reactions. Potential biological implications of this apparently unique effect are discussed.

Abstract
The cytochromes P450 are a versatile range of mono-oxygenase enzymes that catalyze a variety of different chemical reactions, of which the key reactions include aliphatic hydroxylation and C=C double bond epoxidation. To establish the fundamental factors that govern substrate epoxidation by these enzymes we have done a systematic density functional theory study on substrate epoxidation by the active species of P450 enzymes, namely the iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin cation radical oxidant or Compound I. We show here, for the first time, that the rate constant of substrate epoxidation, and hence the activation energy, correlates with the ionization potential of the substrate as well as with intrinsic electronic properties of the active oxidant such as the polarizability volume. To explain these findings we present an electron-transfer model for the reaction mechanism that explains the factors that determine the barrier heights and developed a valence bond (VB) curve crossing mechanism to rationalize the observed trends. In addition, we have found a correlation for substrate epoxidation reactions catalyzed by a range of heme and nonheme iron(IV)-oxo oxidants with the strength of the O-H bond in the iron-hydroxo complex, i.e. BDE(OH), which is supported by the VB model. Finally, the fundamental factors that determine the regioselectivity change between substrate hydroxylation and epoxidation are discussed. It is shown that the regioselectivity of aliphatic hydroxylation versus double bond epoxidation is not influenced by the choice of the oxidant but is purely substrate dependent.

Abstract
The present study provides mechanistic details of a mild aromatic C-H activation effected by a copper(II) center ligated in a triazamacrocylic ligand, affording equimolar amounts of a Cu(III)-aryl species and Cu(I) species as reaction products. At low temperatures the Cu(II) complex 1 forms a three-center, three-electron C-H...Cu(II) interaction, identified by pulse electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and supported by density functional theory calculations. C-H bond cleavage is coupled with copper oxidation, as a Cu(III)-aryl product 2 is formed. This reaction proceeds to completion at 273 K within minutes through either a copper disproportionation reaction or, alternatively, even faster with 1 equiv of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), quantitatively yielding 2. Kinetic studies of both reactions strongly implicate a rate-limiting proton-coupled electron transfer as the key C-H activation step, a mechanism that does not conform to the C-H activation mechanism in a Ni(II) analogue or to any previously proposed C-H activation mechanisms.

Abstract
The transfer of a proton and an electron from the hydroxylamine 1-hydroxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPOH) to [Co(III)(Hbim)(H(2)bim)(2)](2+) (H(2)bim = 2,2'-biimidazoline) has an overall driving force of DeltaG degrees = -3.0 +/- 0.4 kcal mol(-1) and an activation barrier of DeltaG(degrees) = 21.9 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1). Kinetic studies implicate a hydrogen-bonded "precursor complex" at high [TEMPOH], prior to proton-electron (hydrogen-atom) transfer. In the reverse direction, [Co(II)(H(2)bim)(3)](2+) + TEMPO, a similar "successor complex" was not observed, but upper and lower limits on its formation have been estimated. The energetics of formation of these encounter complexes are the dominant contributors to the overall energetics in this system: DeltaG degrees ' for the proton-electron transfer step is only -0.3 +/- 0.9 kcal mol(-1). Thus, formation of the precursor and successor complexes can be a significant component of the thermochemistry for intermolecular proton-electron transfer, particularly in the low-driving-force regime, and should be included in quantitative analyses.

Abstract
Oxygen-atom transfer reactions of metalloporphyrin species play an important role in biochemical and synthetic oxidation reactions. An emerging theme in this chemistry is that spin-state changes can play important roles, and a 'two-state' reactivity model has been extensively applied especially in iron porphyrin systems. Herein we explore the gas-phase oxygen-atom transfer chemistry of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TPFPP) chromium complexes, as well as some other tetradentate macrocyclic ligands. Electrospray ionization in concert with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry has been used to characterize and observe reactivity of the ionic species [(TPFPP)Cr(III)](+) (1) and [(TPFPP)Cr(V)O](+) (2). These are attractive systems to examine the effects of spin-state change on oxygen-atom transfer because the d(1) Cr(V) species are doublets, while the Cr(III) complexes have quartet ground states with high-lying doublet excited states. In the gas phase, [(TPFPP)Cr(III)](+) forms adducts with a variety of neutral donors, but O-atom transfer is only observed for NO(2). Pyridine N-oxide adducts of 1 do yield 2 upon collision-induced dissociation (CID), but the ethylene oxide, DMSO, and TEMPO analogues do not. [(TPFPP)Cr(V)O](+) is shown by its reactivity and by CID experiments to be a terminal metal-oxo with a single, vacant coordination site. It also displays limited reaction chemistry, being deoxygenated only by the very potent reductant P(OMe)(3). In general, [(TPFPP)Cr(V)O](+) species are much less reactive than the Fe and Mn analogues. Thermochemical analysis of the reactions points toward the involvement of spin issues in the lower observed reactivity of the chromium complexes.

Abstract
Chemical reactions that involve net hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology, from the action of antioxidants to industrial and metalloenzyme catalysis. This report develops and validates a procedure to predict rate constants for HAT reactions of oxyl radicals (RO(*)) in various media. Our procedure uses the Marcus cross relation (CR) and includes adjustments for solvent hydrogen-bonding effects on both the kinetics and thermodynamics of the reactions. Kinetic solvent effects (KSEs) are included by using Ingold's model, and thermodynamic solvent effects are accounted for by using an empirical model developed by Abraham. These adjustments are shown to be critical to the success of our combined model, referred to as the CR/KSE model. As an initial test of the CR/KSE model we measured self-exchange and cross rate constants in different solvents for reactions of the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical and the hydroxylamine 2,2'-6,6'-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-ol. Excellent agreement is observed between the calculated and directly determined cross rate constants. We then extend the model to over 30 known HAT reactions of oxyl radicals with OH or CH bonds, including biologically relevant reactions of ascorbate, peroxyl radicals, and alpha-tocopherol. The CR/KSE model shows remarkable predictive power, predicting rate constants to within a factor of 5 for almost all of the surveyed HAT reactions.

Abstract
Ruthenium(II) complexes having pterins of redox-active heteroaromatic coenzymes as ligands were demonstrated to perform multistep proton transfer (PT), electron transfer (ET), and proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. Thermodynamic parameters including pK(a) and bond dissociation energy (BDE) of multistep PCET processes in acetonitrile (MeCN) were determined for ruthenium-pterin complexes, [Ru(II)(Hdmp)(TPA)](ClO(4))(2) (1), [Ru(II)(Hdmdmp)(TPA)](ClO(4))(2) (2), [Ru(II)(dmp(-))(TPA)]ClO(4) (3), and [Ru(II)(dmdmp(-))(TPA)]ClO(4) (4) (Hdmp = 6,7-dimethylpterin, Hdmdmp = N,N-dimethyl-6,7-dimethylpterin, TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), all of which had been isolated and characterized before. The BDE difference between 1 and one-electron oxidized species, [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), was determined to be 89 kcal mol(-1), which was large enough to achieve hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from phenol derivatives. In the HAT reactions from phenol derivatives to [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the second-order rate constants (k) were determined to exhibit a linear relationship with BDE values of phenol derivatives with a slope (-0.4), suggesting that this HAT is simultaneous proton and electron transfer. As for HAT reaction from 2,4,6-tri-tert-buthylphenol (TBP; BDE = 79.15 kcal mol(-1)) to [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the activation parameters were determined to be DeltaH(double dagger) = 1.6 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1) and DeltaS(double dagger) = -36 +/- 2 cal K(-1) mol(-1). This small activation enthalpy suggests a hydrogen-bonded adduct formation prior to HAT. Actually, in the reaction of 4-nitrophenol with [Ru(III)(dmp(-))(TPA)](2+), the second-order rate constants exhibited saturation behavior at higher concentrations of the substrate, and low-temperature ESI-MS allowed us to detect the hydrogen-bonding adduct. This also lends credence to an associative mechanism of the HAT involving intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the deprotonated dmp ligand and the phenolic O-H to facilitate the reaction. In particular, a two-point hydrogen bonding between the complex and the substrate involving the 2-amino group of the deprotonated pterin ligand effectively facilitates the HAT reaction from the substrate to the Ru(III)-pterin complex.

Abstract
To understand how the separation between the electron and proton-accepting sites affects proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity, we have prepared ruthenium complexes with 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)terpyridine ligands, and studied reactivity with hydrogen atom donors (H-X). Ru(II)(pydic)(tpy-PhCOOH) (Ru(II)PhCOOH), was synthesized in one pot from [(p-cymene)RuCl(2)](2), sodium 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ([Na(+)]tpy-PhCOO(-)), and disodium pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (Na(2)pydic). Ru(II)PhCOOH plus (n)Bu(4)NOH in DMF yields the deprotonated Ru(II) complex, (n)Bu(4)N[Ru(II)(pydic)(tpy-PhCOO)] (Ru(II)PhCOO(-)). The Ru(III) complex (Ru(III)PhCOO) has been isolated by one-electron oxidation of Ru(II)PhCOO(-) with triarylaminium radical cations (NAr(3)(*+)). The bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of the O-H bond in Ru(II)PhCOOH is calculated from pK(a) and E(1/2) measurements as 87 kcal mol(-1), making Ru(III)PhCOO a strong hydrogen atom acceptor. There are 10 bonds and ca. 11.2 A separating the metal from the carboxylate basic site in Ru(III)PhCOO. Even with this separation, Ru(III)PhCOO oxidizes the hydrogen atom donor TEMPOH (BDFE = 66.5 kcal mol(-1), DeltaG(o)(rxn) = -21 kcal mol(-1)) by removal of an electron and a proton to form Ru(II)PhCOOH and TEMPO radical in a concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) process. The second order rate constant for this reaction is (1.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) with k(H)/k(D) = 2.1 +/- 0.2, similar to the observed kinetics in an analogous system without the phenyl spacer, Ru(III)(pydic)(tpy-COO(-)) (Ru(III)COO). In contrast, hydrogen transfer from 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-methoxyphenol [(t)Bu(2)(OMe)ArOH] to Ru(III)PhCOO is several orders of magnitude slower than the analogous reaction with Ru(III)COO.

Abstract
Bimolecular rate constants have been measured for reactions that involve hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from hydroxylamines to nitroxyl radicals, using the stable radicals TEMPO(*) (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical), 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine-1-oxyl radical), di-tert-butylnitroxyl ((t)Bu(2)NO(*)), and the hydroxylamines TEMPO-H, 4-oxo-TEMPO-H, 4-MeO-TEMPO-H (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-N-hydroxy-4-methoxy-piperidine), and (t)Bu(2)NOH. The reactions have been monitored by UV-vis stopped-flow methods, using the different optical spectra of the nitroxyl radicals. The HAT reactions all have |DeltaG (o)| < or = 1.4 kcal mol(-1) and therefore are close to self-exchange reactions. The reaction of 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) + TEMPO-H --> 4-oxo-TEMPO-H + TEMPO(*) occurs with k(2H,MeCN) = 10 +/- 1 M(-1) s(-1) in MeCN at 298 K (K(2H,MeCN) = 4.5 +/- 1.8). Surprisingly, the rate constant for the analogous deuterium atom transfer reaction is much slower: k(2D,MeCN) = 0.44 +/- 0.05 M(-1) s(-1) with k(2H,MeCN)/k(2D,MeCN) = 23 +/- 3 at 298 K. The same large kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is found in CH(2)Cl(2), 23 +/- 4, suggesting that the large KIE is not caused by solvent dynamics or hydrogen bonding to solvent. The related reaction of 4-oxo-TEMPO(*) with 4-MeO-TEMPO-H(D) also has a large KIE, k(3H)/k(3D) = 21 +/- 3 in MeCN. For these three reactions, the E(aD) - E(aH) values, between 0.3 +/- 0.6 and 1.3 +/- 0.6 kcal mol(-1), and the log(A(H)/A(D)) values, between 0.5 +/- 0.7 and 1.1 +/- 0.6, indicate that hydrogen tunneling plays an important role. The related reaction of (t)Bu(2)NO(*) + TEMPO-H(D) in MeCN has a large KIE, 16 +/- 3 in MeCN, and very unusual isotopic activation parameters, E(aD) - E(aH) = -2.6 +/- 0.4 and log(A(H)/A(D)) = 3.1 +/- 0.6. Computational studies, using POLYRATE, also indicate substantial tunneling in the (CH(3))(2)NO(*) + (CH(3))(2)NOH model reaction for the experimental self-exchange processes. Additional calculations on TEMPO((*)/H), (t)Bu(2)NO((*)/H), and Ph(2)NO((*)/H) self-exchange reactions reveal why the phenyl groups make the last of these reactions several orders of magnitude faster than the first two. By inference, the calculations also suggest why tunneling appears to be more important in the self-exchange reactions of dialkylhydroxylamines than of arylhydroxylamines.

Abstract
Reactions are described that interconvert vanadium(IV) oxo-hydroxo complexes [V(IV)O(OH)(R(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4) (1a-c) and vanadium(V) dioxo complexes [V(V)O(2)(R(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4) (2a-c) [R(2)bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine ((t)Bu(2)bpy), a; 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me(2)bpy), b; 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), c]. These are rare examples of pairs of isolated, sterically unencumbered, first-row metal-oxo/hydroxo complexes that differ by a hydrogen atom (H(+) + e(-)). The V(IV)-(t)Bu(2)bpy derivative 1a has a useful (1)H NMR spectrum, despite being paramagnetic. Complex 2a abstracts H(*) from organic substrates with weak O-H and C-H bonds, converting 2,6-(t)Bu(2)-4-MeO-C(6)H(2)OH (ArOH) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-N-hydroxypiperidine (TEMPOH) to their corresponding radicals ArO(*) and TEMPO, hydroquinone to benzoquinone, and dihydroanthracene to anthracene. The equilibrium constant for 2a + ArOH <==> 1a + ArO(*) is (4 +/- 2) x 10(-3), implying that the VO-H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) is 70.6 +/- 1.2 kcal mol(-1). Consistent with this value, 1a is oxidized by 2,4,6-(t)Bu(3)C(6)H(2)O(*). All of these reactions are surprisingly slow, typically occurring over hours at ambient temperatures. The net hydrogen-atom pseudo-self-exchange 1a + 2b <==> 2a + 1b, using the (t)Bu- and Me-bpy substituents as labels, also occurs slowly, with k(se) = 1.3 x 10(-2) M(-1) s(-1) at 298 K, DeltaH(double dagger) = 15 +/- 2 kcal mol(-1), and DeltaS(double dagger) = 16 +/- 5 cal mol(-1) K. Using this k(se) and the BDFE, the vanadium reactions are shown to follow the Marcus cross relation moderately well, with calculated rate constants within 10(2) of the observed values. The vanadium self-exchange reaction is ca. 10(6) slower than that for the related Ru(IV)O(py)(bpy)(2)(2+)/Ru(III)OH(py)(bpy)(2)(2+) self-exchange. The origin of this dramatic difference has been probed with DFT calculations on the self-exchange reactions of 1c + 2c and on monocationic ruthenium complexes with pyrrolate or fluoride in place of the py ligands. The calculations reproduce the difference in barrier heights and show that transfer of a hydrogen atom involves more structural reorganization for vanadium than the Ru analogues. The vanadium complexes have larger changes in the metal-oxo and metal-hydroxo bond lengths, which is traced to the difference in d-orbital occupancy in the two systems. This study thus highlights the importance of intrinsic barriers in the transfer of a hydrogen atom, in addition to the thermochemical (bond strength) factors that have been previously emphasized.
