Abstract
The interactions of nitrogen monoxide (*NO; nitric oxide) with transition metal centers continue to be of great interest, in part due to their importance in biochemical processes. Here, we describe *NO((g)) reductive coupling chemistry of possible relevance to that process (i.e., nitric oxide reductase (NOR) biochemistry), which occurs at the heme/Cu active site of cytochrome c oxidases (CcOs). In this report, heme/Cu/*NO((g)) activity is studied using 1:1 ratios of heme and copper complex components, (F(8))Fe (F(8) = tetrakis(2,6-difluorophenyl)porphyrinate(2-)) and [(tmpa)Cu(I)(MeCN)](+) (TMPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). The starting point for heme chemistry is the mononitrosyl complex (F(8))Fe(NO) (lambda(max) = 399 (Soret), 541 nm in acetone). Variable-temperature (1)H and (2)H NMR spectra reveal a broad peak at delta = 6.05 ppm (pyrrole) at room temperature (RT), which gives rise to asymmetrically split pyrrole peaks at 9.12 and 8.54 ppm at -80 degrees C. A new heme dinitrosyl species, (F(8))Fe(NO)(2), obtained by bubbling (F(8))Fe(NO) with *NO((g)) at -80 degrees C, could be reversibly formed, as monitored by UV-vis (lambda(max) = 426 (Soret), 538 nm in acetone), EPR (silent), and NMR spectroscopies; that is, the mono-NO complex was regenerated upon warming to RT. (F(8))Fe(NO)(2) reacts with [(tmpa)Cu(I)(MeCN)](+) and 2 equiv of acid to give [(F(8))Fe(III)](+), [(tmpa)Cu(II)(solvent)](2+), and N(2)O((g)), fitting the stoichiometric *NO((g)) reductive coupling reaction: 2*NO((g)) + Fe(II) + Cu(I) + 2H(+) --> N(2)O((g)) + Fe(III) + Cu(II) + H(2)O, equivalent to one enzyme turnover. Control reaction chemistry shows that both iron and copper centers are required for the NOR-type chemistry observed and that, if acid is not present, half the *NO is trapped as a (F(8))Fe(NO) complex, while the remaining nitrogen monoxide undergoes copper complex promoted disproportionation chemistry. As part of this study, [(F(8))Fe(III)]SbF(6) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, along with EPR (77 K: g = 5.84 and 6.12 in CH(2)Cl(2) and THF, respectively) and variable-temperature NMR spectroscopies. These structural and physical properties suggest that at RT this complex consists of an admixture of high and intermediate spin states.

Abstract
The nature of the ligand is an important aspect of controlling the structure and reactivity in coordination chemistry. In connection with our study of heme-copper-oxygen reactivity relevant to cytochrome c oxidase dioxygen-reduction chemistry, we compare the molecular and electronic structures of two high-spin heme-peroxo-copper [Fe(III)O(2)(2-)Cu(II)](+) complexes containing N(4) tetradentate (1) or N(3) tridentate (2) copper ligands. Combining previously reported and new resonance Raman and EXAFS data coupled to density functional theory calculations, we report a geometric structure and more complete electronic description of the high-spin heme-peroxo-copper complexes 1 and 2, which establish mu-(O(2)(2-)) side-on to the Fe(III) and end-on to Cu(II) (mu-eta(2):eta(1)) binding for the complex 1 but side-on/side-on (mu-eta(2):eta(2)) mu-peroxo coordination for the complex 2. We also compare and summarize the differences and similarities of these two complexes in their reactivity toward CO, PPh(3), acid, and phenols. The comparison of a new X-ray structure of mu-oxo complex 2a with the previously reported 1a X-ray structure, two thermal decomposition products respectively of 2 and 1, reveals a considerable difference in the Fe-O-Cu angle between the two mu-oxo complexes ( angleFe-O-Cu = 178.2 degrees in 1a and angleFe-O-Cu = 149.5 degrees in 2a). The reaction of 2 with 1 equiv of an exogenous nitrogen-donor axial base leads to the formation of a distinctive low-temperature-stable, low-spin heme-dioxygen-copper complex (2b), but under the same conditions, the addition of an axial base to 1 leads to the dissociation of the heme-peroxo-copper assembly and the release of O(2). 2b reacts with phenols performing H-atom (e(-) + H(+)) abstraction resulting in O-O bond cleavage and the formation of high-valent ferryl [Fe(IV)=O] complex (2c). The nature of 2c was confirmed by a comparison of its spectroscopic features and reactivity with those of an independently prepared ferryl complex. The phenoxyl radical generated by the H-atom abstraction was either (1) directly detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy using phenols that produce stable radicals or (2) indirectly detected by the coupling product of two phenoxyl radicals.

Abstract
An oxy-heme complex, the heme-superoxo species (tetrahydrofuran)(F(8))Fe(III)-(O(2)(*-)) (2) (F(8) = an ortho-difluoro substituted tetraarylporphyrinate), reacts with nitrogen monoxide (*NO; nitric oxide) to produce a nitrato-iron(III) compound (F(8))Fe(III)-(NO(3)(-)) (3) (X-ray). The chemistry mimics the action of *NO Dioxygenases (NODs), microbial and mammalian heme proteins which facilitate *NO detoxification/homeostasis. A peroxynitrite intermediate complex is implicated; if 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol is added prior to *NO reaction with 2, o-nitration occurs giving 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-nitrophenol. The iron product is (F(8))Fe(III)-(OH) (4). The results suggest that heme/O(2)/*NO chemistry may lead to peroxynitrite leakage and/or exogenous substrate oxidative/nitrative reactivity.

Abstract
Two synthetic models of the active site of cytochrome c oxidase--[(LN4-OH)CuI-FeII(TMP)]+ (1 a) and [(LN3-OH)CuI-FeII(TMP)]+ (2 a)-have been designed and synthesized. These models each contain a heme and a covalently attached copper moiety supported either by a tetradentate N4-copper chelate or by a tridentate N3-copper chelate including a moiety that acts as a mimic of the crosslinked His-Tyr component of cytochrome c oxidase. Low-temperature oxygenation reactions of these models have been investigated by spectroscopic methods including UV/Vis, resonance Raman, ESI-MS, and EPR spectroscopy. Oxygenation of the tetradentate model 1 a in MeCN and in other solvents produces a low-temperature-stable dioxygen-bridged peroxide [(LN4-OH)CuII-O2-FeIII(TMP)]+ {nuO--O=799 (16O2)/752 cm(-1) (18O2)}, while a heme superoxide species [(TMP)FeIII(O2-)CuIILN3-OH] {nuFe--O2: 576 (16O2)/551 cm(-1) (18O2)} is generated when the tridentate model 2 a is oxygenated in EtCN solution under similar experimental conditions. The coexistence of a heme superoxide species [(TMP)FeIII(O2-)CuIILN3-OH] and a bridged peroxide [(LN3-OH)CuII-O2-FeIII(TMP)]+ species in equal amounts is observed when the oxygenation reaction of 2 a is performed in CH2Cl(2)/7 % EtCN, while the percentage of the peroxide (approximately 70 %) in relation to superoxide (approximately 30 %) increases further when the crosslinked phenol moiety in 2 a is deprotonated to produce the bridged peroxide [(LN3-OH)CuII-O2-FeIII(TMP)]+ {nuO--O: 812 (16O2)/765 cm(-1) (18O2)} as the main dioxygen intermediate. The weak reducibility and decreased O2 reactivity of the tricoordinated CuI site in 2 a are responsible for the solvent-dependent formation of dioxygen adducts. The initial binding of dioxygen to the copper site en route to the formation of a bridged heme-O2-Cu intermediate by model 2 a is suggested and the deprotonated crosslinked His-Tyr moiety might contribute to enhancement of the O2 affinity of the CuI site at an early stage of the dioxygen-binding process.

Abstract
This Account focuses on our recent developments in synthetic heme/copper/O 2 chemistry, potentially relevant to the mechanism of action of heme-copper oxidases (e.g., cytochrome c oxidase) and to dioxygen activation chemistry. Methods for the generation of O 2 adducts, which are high-spin heme(Fe (III))-peroxo-Cu (II) complexes, are described, along with a detailed structural/electronic characterization of one example. The coordination mode of the O 2-derived heme-Cu bridging group depends upon the copper-ligand environment, resulting in micro-(O 2 (2-)) side-on to Fe (III) and end-on to Cu (II) (micro-eta (2):eta (1)) binding for cases having N 4 tetradentate ligands but side-on/side-on (micro-eta (2):eta (2)) micro-peroxo coordination with tridentate copper chelates. The dynamics of the generation of Fe (III)-(O 2 (2-))-Cu (II) complexes are known in some cases, including the initial formation of a short-lived superoxo (heme)Fe (III)(O 2 -) intermediate. Complexes with cross-linked imidazole-phenol "cofactors" adjacent to the copper centers have also been described. Essential investigations of heme-copper-mediated reductive O-O bond cleavage chemistry are ongoing.

Abstract
A new biomimetic model for the heterodinuclear heme/copper center of respiratory oxidases is described. It is derived from iron(III) protoporphyrin IX by covalent attachment of a Gly-L-His-OMe residue to one propionic acid substituent and an amino-bis(benzimidazole) residue to the other propionic acid substituent of the porphyrin ring, yielding the Fe(III) complex 1, and subsequent addition of a copper(II) or copper(I) ion, according to needs. The fully oxidized Fe(III)/Cu(II) complex, 2, binds azide more strongly than 1, and likely contains azide bound as a bridging ligand between Fe(III) and Cu(II). The two metal centers also cooperate in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide, as the peroxide adducts obtained at low temperature for 1 and 2 display different optical features. Support to this interpretation comes from the investigation of the peroxidase activity of the complexes, where the activation of hydrogen peroxide has been studied through the phenol coupling reaction of p-cresol. Here the presence of Cu(II) improves the catalytic performance of complex 2 with respect to 1 at acidic pH, where the positive charge of the Cu(II) ion is useful to promote O-O bond cleavage of the iron-bound hydroperoxide, but it depresses the activity at basic pH because it can stabilize an intramolecular hydroxo bridge between Fe(III) and Cu(II). The reactivity to dioxygen of the reduced complexes has been studied at low temperature starting from the carbonyl adducts of the Fe(II) complex, 3, and Fe(II)/Cu(I) complex, 4. Also in this case the adducts derived from the Fe(II) and Fe(II)/Cu(I) complexes, that we formulate as Fe(III)-superoxo and Fe(III)/Cu(II)-peroxo exhibit slightly different spectral properties, showing that the copper center participates in a weak interaction with the dioxygen moiety.

Abstract
In the further development and understanding of heme-copper dioxygen reactivity relevant to cytochrome c oxidase O(2)-reduction chemistry, we describe a high-spin, five-coordinate dioxygen (peroxo) adduct of an iron(II)-copper(I) complex, [((6)L)Fe(II)Cu(I)](BArF(20)) (1), where (6)L is a tetraarylporphyrinate with a tethered tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine chelate for copper. Reaction of 1 with O(2) in MeCN affords a remarkably stable [t(1/2) (rt; MeCN) approximately 60 min] adduct, [((6)L)Fe(III)-(O(2) (2-))-Cu(II)](+) (2) [EPR silent; lambda(max)=418 (Soret), 561 nm], formulated as a peroxo complex based on manometry (1:O(2)=1:1; spectrophotometric titration, -40 degrees C, MeCN), mass spectrometry {MALDI-TOF-MS: (16)O(2), m/z 1191 ([((6)L)Fe(III)-((16)O(2) (2-))-Cu(II)](+)); (18)O(2), m/z 1195}, and resonance Raman spectroscopy (nu((O-O))=788 cm(-1); Delta(16)O(2)/(18)O(2)=44 cm(-1); Delta(16)O(2)/(16/18)O(2)=22 cm(-1)). (1)H and (2)H NMR spectroscopy (-40 degrees C, MeCN) reveals that 2 is the first heme-copper peroxo complex which is high-spin, with downfield-shifted pyrrole resonances (delta(pyrrole)=75 ppm, s, br) and upfield shifted peaks at delta= -22, -35, and -40 ppm, similar to the pattern observed for the mu-oxo complex [((6)L)Fe(III)-O-Cu(II)](BAr(F)) (3) (known S=2 system, antiferromagnetically coupled high-spin Fe(III) and Cu(II)). The corresponding magnetic moment measurement (Evans method, CD(3)CN, -40 degrees C) also confirms the S=2 spin state, with mu(B)=4.9. Structural insights were obtained from X-ray absorption spectroscopy, showing Fe-O (1.83 A) and Cu-O (1.882 A) bonds, and an Fe...Cu distance of 3.35(2) A, suggestive of a mu-1,2-peroxo ligand present in 2. The reaction of 2 with cobaltocene gives 3, differing from the observed full reduction seen with other heme-Cu peroxo complexes. Finally, thermal decomposition of 2 yields 3, with concomitant release of 0.5 mol O(2) per mol 2, as confirmed quantitatively by an alkaline pyrogallol dioxygen scavenging solution.

Abstract
Quasireversible adducts of dioxygen with Cu(I) complexes are of interest as models for dioxygen transport proteins, for oxygen-dependent copper redox enzymes, and for low-molecular oxidation and oxygenation catalysts. Depending on ligand denticity and structural factors dioxygen binds in various geometries and metal:O2 ratios to the reduced copper centers. Kinetic investigations produce detailed mechanistic insight into the nature of coppers-dioxygen interaction. Heteronuclear FeO2Cu complexes with stabilities far beyond statistical expectation are obtained when 1:1 mixtures of suitable copper(I) complexes and appropriate Fe(II) porphyrins are treated with O2.

Abstract
Advances in bioinorganic chemistry since the 1970s have been driven by three factors: rapid determination of high-resolution structures of proteins and other biomolecules, utilization of powerful spectroscopic tools for studies of both structures and dynamics, and the widespread use of macromolecular engineering to create new biologically relevant structures. Today, very large molecules can be manipulated at will, with the result that certain proteins and nucleic acids themselves have become versatile model systems for elucidating biological function.
