Abstract
We report herein a synthetically useful catalytic system for aliphatic C-H oxidation with a mononuclear nonheme cobalt(II) complex and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a high-valent cobalt-oxygen species (e.g., cobalt(IV)-oxo or cobalt(III)-oxyl) is the oxidant that effects C-H oxidation via a rate-determining hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) step.

Abstract
High-valent Fe(IV)=O intermediates of metalloenzymes have inspired numerous efforts to generate synthetic analogs to mimic and understand their substrate oxidation reactivities. However, high-valent M(IV) complexes of late transition metals are rare. We have recently reported a novel Co(IV)-dinitrate complex (1-NO3) that activates sp3 C-H bonds up to 87 kcal/mol. In this work, we have shown that the nitrate ligands in 1-NO3 can be replaced by azide, a more basic coordinating base, resulting in the formation of a more potent Co(IV)-diazide species (1-N3) that reacts with substrates (hydrocarbons and phenols) at faster rate constants and activates stronger C-H bonds than the parent complex 1-NO3. We have characterized 1-N3 employing a combination of spectroscopic and computational approaches. Our results clearly show that the coordination of azide leads to the modulation of the Co(IV) electronic structure and the Co(IV/III) redox potential. Together with the higher basicity of azide, these thermodynamic parameters contribute to the higher driving forces of 1-N3 than 1-NO3 for C-H bond activation. Our discoveries are thus insightful for designing more reactive bio-inspired high-valent late transition metal complexes for activating inert aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract
The reaction of Li[(TAML)CoIII]·3H2O (TAML = tetraamido macrocyclic tetraanionic ligand) with iodosylbenzene at 253 K in acetone in the presence of redox-innocent metal ions (Sc(OTf)3 and Y(OTf)3) or triflic acid affords a blue species 1, which is converted reversibly to a green species 2 upon cooling to 193 K. The electronic structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by combining advanced spectroscopic techniques (X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), X-ray absorption spectroscopy/extended X-ray absorption fine structure (XAS/EXAFS), and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD)) with ab initio theoretical studies. Complex 1 is best represented as an S = 1/2 [(Sol)(TAML•+)CoIII---OH(LA)]- species (LA = Lewis/Brønsted acid and Sol = solvent), where an S = 1 Co(III) center is antiferromagnetically coupled to S = 1/2 TAML•+, which represents a one-electron oxidized TAML ligand. In contrast, complex 2, also with an S = 1/2 ground state, is found to be multiconfigurational with contributions of both the resonance forms [(H-TAML)CoIV═O(LA)]- and [(H-TAML•+)CoIII═O(LA)]-; H-TAML and H-TAML•+ represent the protonated forms of TAML and TAML•+ ligands, respectively. Thus, the interconversion of 1 and 2 is associated with a LA-associated tautomerization event, whereby H+ shifts from the terminal -OH group to TAML•+ with the concomitant formation of a terminal cobalt-oxo species possessing both singlet (SCo = 0) Co(III) and doublet (SCo = 1/2) Co(IV) characters. The reactivities of 1 and 2 at different temperatures have been investigated in oxygen atom transfer (OAT) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions to compare the activation enthalpies and entropies of 1 and 2.

Abstract
In contrast to the well-documented acylating reactivity, the alkylating reactivity of the alkoxycarbonyl group, as signified by its oxocarbenium-like resonance structure, remains almost unexplored. Herein, the first series of Co/Ni dinuclear metalloesters exhibiting the novel oxocarbenium-like alkoxycarbonyl groups were synthesized and characterized. In these deformed alkoxycarbonyl groups, the Ccarbonyl-Oalkoxyl bonds were contracted to 1.177(11)~1.191(9) Å with the elongations of the Ccarbonyl=Ocarbonyl bonds to 1.368(13)~1.441(9) Å. Meanwhile, the O-Calkyl bonds were also elongated to 1.522(11) ~1.607(15) Å, and were by far the longest O-Calkyl bonds reported for alkoxycarbonyl groups. As triggered by the long O-Calkyl distances, the alkylating reactivity of the oxocarbenium-like methoxycarbonyl group towards a series of C/N/O-nucleophiles via the rare BAL2 mechanism at ambient conditions was examined. Furthermore, the homo-etherifications of alcohols mediated by the Co/Ni dinuclear metalloesters were investigated. The yields followed the trend ethanol≫n-propanol≫n-butanol ≈n-pentanol, that closely related to the structure features of the alkoxycarbonyl groups in corresponding metalloesters: while the ethoxycarbonyl group showed the reactive oxocarbenium-like framework, the n-propoxycarbonyl group displayed the dioxocarbenium-like skeleton with a shorter O-Calkyl bond; In comparison, the classical frameworks with unactivated alkyl moieties were observed for n-butoxycarbonyl and n-pentoxycarbonyl groups.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes with heteromultimetallic active sites perform chemical reactions that control several biogeochemical cycles. Transformations catalyzed by such enzymes include dioxygen generation and reduction, dinitrogen reduction, and carbon dioxide reduction-instrumental transformations for progress in the context of artificial photosynthesis and sustainable fertilizer production. While the roles of the respective metals are of interest in all these enzymatic transformations, they share a common factor in the transfer of one or multiple redox equivalents. In light of this feature, it is surprising to find that incorporation of redox-inactive metals into the active site of such an enzyme is critical to its function. To illustrate, the presence of a redox-inactive Ca2+ center is crucial in the Oxygen Evolving Complex, and yet particularly intriguing given that the transformation catalyzed by this cluster is a redox process involving four electrons. Therefore, the effects of redox inactive metals on redox processes-electron transfer, oxygen- and hydrogen-atom transfer, and O-O bond cleavage and formation reactions-mediated by transition metals have been studied extensively. Significant effects of redox inactive metals have been observed on these redox transformations; linear free energy correlations between Lewis acidity and the redox properties of synthetic model complexes are observed for several reactions. In this Perspective, these effects and their relevance to multielectron processes will be discussed.

Abstract
High-valent metal-oxo species serve as key intermediates in the activation of inert C-H bonds. Here, we present a comprehensive DFT analysis of the parameters that have been proposed as influencing factors in modeled high-valent metal-oxo mediated C-H activation reactions. Our approach involves utilizing DFT calculations to explore the electronic structures of modeled FeIVO (species 1) and CoIVO ↔ CoIII-O˙ (species 2), scrutinizing their capacity to predict improved catalytic activity. DFT and DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations predict that the iron-oxo species possesses a triplet as the ground state, while the cobalt-oxo has a doublet as the ground state. Furthermore, we have investigated the mechanistic pathways for the first C-H bond activation, as well as the desaturation of the alkanes. The mechanism was determined to be a two-step process, wherein the first hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) represents the rate-limiting step, involving the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process. However, we found that the second HAA step is highly exothermic for both species. Our calculations suggest that the iron-oxo species (Fe-O = 1.672 Å) exhibit relatively sluggish behavior compared to the cobalt-oxo species (Co-O = 1.854 Å) in C-H bond activation, attributed to a weak metal-oxygen bond. MO, NBO, and deformation energy analysis reveal the importance of weakening the M-O bond in the cobalt species, thereby reducing the overall barrier to the reaction. This catalyst was found to have a C-H activation barrier relatively smaller than that previously reported in the literature.

Abstract
Lewis acid-bound high valent Mn-oxo species are of great importance due to their relevance to photosystem II. Here, we report the synthesis of a unique [(BnTPEN)Mn(III)-O-Ce(IV)(NO3 )4 ]+ adduct (2) by the reaction of (BnTPEN)Mn(II) (1) with 4 eq. ceric ammonium nitrate. 2 has been characterized using UV/Vis, NMR, resonance Raman spectroscopy, as well as by mass spectrometry. Treatment of 2 with Sc(III)(OTf)3 results in the formation of (BnTPEN)Mn(IV)-O-Sc(III) (3), while HClO4 addition to 2 forms (BnTPEN)Mn(IV)-OH (4), reverting to 2 upon Ce(III)(NO3 )3 addition. 2 can also be prepared by the oxidation of 1 eq. Ce(III)(NO3 )3 with [(BnTPEN)Mn(IV)=O]2+ (5). In addition, the EPR spectroscopy revealed the elegant temperature-dependent equilibria between 2 and Mn(IV) species. The binding of redox-active Ce(IV) boosts electron transfer efficiency of 2 towards ferrocenes. Remarkably, the newly characterized Mn(III)-O-Ce(IV) species can carry out O-atom and H-atom transfer reactions.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of a mononuclear nonheme cobalt(III)-imidyl complex, [Co(NTs)(TQA)(OTf)]+ (1), with an S = 3/2 spin state that is capable of facilitating exogenous substrate modifications. Complex 1 was generated from the reaction of CoII(TQA)(OTf)2 with PhINTs at -20 °C. A flow setup with ESI-MS detection was used to explore the kinetics of the formation, stability, and degradation pathway of 1 in solution by treating the Co(II) precursor with PhINTs. Co K-edge XAS data revealed a distinct shift in the Co K-edge compared to the Co(II) precursor, in agreement with the formation of a Co(III) intermediate. The unusual S = 3/2 spin state was proposed based on EPR, DFT, and CASSCF calculations and Co Kβ XES results. Co K-edge XAS and IR photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopies demonstrate that 1 is a six-coordinate species, and IRPD and resonance Raman spectroscopies are consistent with 1 being exclusively the isomer with the NT ligand occupying the vacant site trans to the TQA aliphatic amine nitrogen atom. Electronic structure calculations (broken symmetry DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2) demonstrate an S = 3/2 oxidation state resulting from the strong antiferromagnetic coupling of an •NTs spin to the high-spin S = 2 Co(III) center. Reactivity studies of 1 with PPh3 derivatives revealed its electrophilic characteristic in the nitrene-transfer reaction. While the activation of C-H bonds by 1 was proved to be kinetically challenging, 1 could oxidize weak O-H and N-H bonds. Complex 1 is, therefore, a rare example of a Co(III)-imidyl complex capable of exogenous substrate transformations.

Abstract
Terminal metal-oxo species of the early transition metal series are well known, whereas those for the late transition series are rare, and this is related to the "Oxo Wall". Here, we have undertaken a theoretical study on the formation of metal-oxo species from the metal hydroperoxo species of the 3d series (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) with the ligand 14-TMC (1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) via O⋯O bond cleavage. DFT calculations reveal that the barrier for O⋯O bond cleavage is higher with the late transition metals (Co, Ni, and Cu) than the early transition metals (Cr, Mn, and Fe), and the formed late metal-oxo species are also thermodynamically less stable. The higher barrier may be due to electronic repulsion because of the pairing of d electrons. In the late transition metal series, the electron goes into an antibonding orbital, which decreases the bond order and hence decreases the possibility of metal-oxo formation. Computed structural parameters and spin densities suggest that valence tautomerism occurs in the late transition metal-oxo species which remain as a metal-oxyl. Our findings support the concept of the "Oxo Wall".

Abstract
Asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by nonheme chiral Mn-O and Fe-O catalysts has been well established, but chiral Co-O catalysts for the purpose remain virtually undeveloped due to the oxo wall. Herein is first reported a chiral cobalt complex to realize the enantioselective epoxidation of cyclic and acyclic trisubstituted alkenes by using PhIO as the oxidant in acetone, wherein the tetra-oxygen-based chiral N,N'-dioxide with sterically hindered amide subunits plays a crucial role in supporting the formation of the Co-O intermediate and enantioselective electrophilic oxygen transfer. Mechanistic studies, including HRMS measurements, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, as well as DFT calculations, were carried out, confirming the formation of Co-O species as a quartet Co(III)-oxyl tautomer. The mechanism and the origin of enantioselectivity were also elucidated based on control experiments, nonlinear effects, kinetic studies, and DFT calculations.

Abstract
CONTEXT The present work describes the synthesis, structural characterization, and catalytic activity of a Co(II)-based one-dimensional coordination polymer (CP1). To validate the chemotherapeutic potential of CP1, in vitro DNA binding assessment was carried out by employing multispectroscopic techniques. Moreover, the catalytic activity of CP1 was also ascertained during the oxidative conversion of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to diaminophenazine (DAP) under aerobic conditions. METHODS The molecular structure of CP1 was solved with the olex2.solve structure solution program using charge flipping and refined with the olex2.refine refinement package by using Gauss-Newton minimization. The DFT studies were performed by utilizing ORCA Program Version 4.1.1 to calculate the electronic and chemical properties of CP1 by calculating the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. All calculations were carried out at B3LYP hybrid functional using def2-TZVP as the basis set. Contour plots of various FMOs were visualized by using Avogadro software. Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out by Crystal explorer Program 17.5.27 to examine the various non-covalent interactions which are crucial for the stability of crystal lattice. In addition, molecular docking studies of CP1 with DNA were performed by using AutoDock Vina software and AutoDock tools (version 1.5.6). Discovery studio 3.5 Client 2020 was used for visualization of the docked pose and binding interactions of CP1 with ct-DNA.

Abstract
Molecular cobalt(III) complexes of bis-amidate-bis-alkoxide ligands, (Me4N)[CoIII(L1)] (1) and (Me4N)[CoIII(L2)] (2), are synthesized and assessed through a range of characterization techniques. Electrocatalytic water oxidation activity of the Co complexes in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution revealed a ligand-centered 2e-/1H+ transfer event at 0.99 V followed by catalytic water oxidation (WO) at an onset overpotential of 450 mV. By contrast, 2 reveals a ligand-based oxidation event at 0.9 V and a WO onset overpotential of 430 mV. Constant potential electrolysis study and rinse test experiments confirm the homogeneous nature of the Co complexes during WO. The mechanistic investigation further shows a pH-dependent change in the reaction pathway. On the one hand, below pH 7.5, two consecutive ligand-based oxidation events result in the formation of a CoIII(L2-)(OH) species, which, followed by a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction, generates a CoIV(L2-)(O) species that undergoes water nucleophilic attack to form the O-O bond. On the other hand, at higher pH, two ligand-based oxidation processes merge together and result in the formation of a CoIII(L2-)(OH) complex, which reacts with OH- to yield the O-O bond. The ligand-coordinated reaction intermediates involved in the WO reaction are thoroughly studied through an array of spectroscopic techniques, including UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. A mononuclear CoIII(OH) complex supported by the one-electron oxidized ligand, [CoIII(L3-)(OH)]-, a formal CoIV(OH) complex, has been characterized, and the compound was shown to participate in the hydroxide rebound reaction, which is a functional mimic of Compound II of Cytochrome P450.

Abstract
The recent focus on developing high-valent non-oxo-metal complexes for late transition metals has proven to be an effective strategy to study the rich chemistry of these high-valent species while bypassing the synthetic challenges of obtaining the oxo-metal counterparts. In our continuing work of exploring late transition metal complexes of unusually high oxidation states, we have obtained in the present study a formal mononuclear Ni(IV)-nitrate complex (2) upon 1-e- oxidation of its Ni(III) derivatives (1-OH and 1-NO3). Characterization of these Ni complexes by combined spectroscopic and computational approaches enables deep understanding of their geometric and electronic structures, bonding interactions, and spectroscopic properties, showing that all of them are square planar complexes and exhibit strong π-covalency with the amido N-donors of the N3 ligand. Furthermore, results obtained from X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations provide strong support for the assignment of the Ni(IV) oxidation state of complex 2, albeit with strong ligand-to-metal charge donation. Notably, 2 is able to oxidize hydrocarbons with C-H bond strength in the range of 76-92 kcal/mol, representing a rare example of high-valent late transition metal complexes capable of activating strong sp3 C-H bonds.

Abstract
The power of oriented electrostatic fields (ESFs) to influence chemical bonding and reactivity is a phenomenon of rapidly growing interest. The presence of strong ESFs has recently been implicated as one of the most significant contributors to the activity of select enzymes, wherein alignment of a substrate's changing dipole moment with a strong, local electrostatic field has been shown to be responsible for the majority of the enzymatic rate enhancement. Outside of enzymology, researchers have studied the impacts of "internal" electrostatic fields via the addition of ionic salts to reactions and the incorporation of charged functional groups into organic molecules (both experimentally and computationally), and "externally" via the implementation of bulk fields between electrode plates. Incorporation of charged moieties into homogeneous inorganic complexes to generate internal ESFs represents an area of high potential for novel catalyst design. This field has only begun to materialize within the past 10 years but could be an area of significant impact moving forward, since it provides a means for tuning the properties of molecular complexes via a method that is orthogonal to traditional strategies, thereby providing possibilities for improved catalytic conditions and novel reactivity. In this perspective, we highlight recent developments in this area and offer insights, obtained from our own research, on the challenges and future directions of this emerging field of research.

Abstract
The divergent behavior of C−H bond oxidations of aliphatic substrates compared to those of aromatic substrates shown in Gupta's experiment was mechanistically studied herein by means of density functional theory calculations. Our calculations reveal that such difference is caused by different reaction mechanisms between two kinds of substrates (the aliphatic cyclohexane, 2,3-dimethylbutane and the aromatic toluene, ethylbenzene and cumene). For the aliphatic substrates, C−H oxidation by the oxidant FeV(O)(TAML) is a hydrogen atom transfer process; whereas for the aromatic substrates, C−H oxidation is a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process with a proton transfer character on the transition state, that is, a proton-coupled electron transfer process holding a proton transfer-like transition state (PCET(PT)). This difference is caused by the strong π− π interactions between the tetra-anionic TAML ring and the phenyl ring of the aromatic substrates, which has a “pull” effect to make the electron transfer from substrates to the Fe=O moiety inefficient.

Abstract
High-valence metal-oxo (M-O, M = Fe, Mn, etc.) species are well-known reaction intermediates that are responsible for a wide range of pivotal oxygenation reactions and water oxidation reactions in metalloenzymes. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to synthesizing and identifying such complexes in biomimetic studies, the structure-function relationship and related reaction mechanisms of these reaction intermediates remain elusive, especially for the cobalt-oxygen species. In the present manuscript, the calculated results demonstrate that the tetraamido macrocycle ligated cobalt complex, Co(O)(TAML) (1), behaves like a chameleon: the electronic structure varies from a cobalt(III)-oxyl species to a cobalt(IV)-oxo species when a Lewis acid Sc3+ salt coordinates or an acidic hydrocarbon attacks 1. The dichotomous correlation between the reaction rates of C-H bond activation by 1 and the bond dissociation energy (BDE) vs. the acidity (pKa) was rationalized for the first time by different reaction mechanisms: for normal C-H bond activation, the Co(III)-oxyl species directly activates the C-H bond via a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism, whereas for acidic C-H bond activation, the Co(III)-oxyl species evolves to a Co(IV)-oxo species to increase the basicity of the oxygen to activate the acidic C-H bond, via a novel PCET(PT) mechanism (proton-coupled electron transfer with a PT(proton-transfer)-like transition state). These theoretical findings will enrich the knowledge of biomimetic metal-oxygen chemistry.

Abstract
Four cobalt(II)-carboxylate complexes [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzoate)](BPh4) (1), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzilate)](ClO4) (2), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(mandelate)](BPh4) (3), and [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(MPA)](BPh4) (4) (HMPA = 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetic acid) of the 6-Me3-TPA (tris((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)amine) ligand were isolated to investigate their ability in H2O2-dependent selective oxygenation of C-H and CC bonds. All six-coordinate complexes contain a high-spin cobalt(II) center. While the cobalt(II) complexes are inert toward dioxygen, each of these complexes reacts readily with hydrogen peroxide to form a diamagnetic cobalt(III) species, which decays with time leading to the oxidation of the methyl groups on the pyridine rings of the supporting ligand. Intramolecular ligand oxidation by the cobalt-based oxidant is partially inhibited in the presence of external substrates, and the substrates are converted to their corresponding oxidized products. Kinetic studies and labelling experiments indicate the involvement of a metal-based oxidant in affecting the chemo- and stereo-selective catalytic oxygenation of aliphatic C-H bonds and epoxidation of alkenes. An electrophilic cobalt-oxygen species that exhibits a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 5.3 in toluene oxidation by 1 is proposed as the active oxidant. Among the complexes, the cobalt(II)-benzoate (1) and cobalt(II)-MPA (4) complexes display better catalytic activity compared to their α-hydroxy analogues (2 and 3). Catalytic studies with the cobalt(II)-acetonitrile complex [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2 (5) in the presence and absence of externally added benzoate support the role of the carboxylate co-ligand in oxidation reactions. The proposed catalytic reaction involves a carboxylate-bridged dicobalt complex in the activation of H2O2 followed by the oxidation of substrates by a metal-based oxidant.

Abstract
OxoMn(V) porphyrin complexes perform competitive hydroxylation, desaturation, and radical rearrangement reactions using diagnostic substrate norcarane. Initial C-H cleavage proceeds through the two hydrogen abstraction steps from the two adjacent carbon on the norcarane, then the selective reaction is performed to generate various products. Using density functional theory calculations, we show that the hydroxylation and desaturation reactions are triggered by a rate-determining H-abstraction step, whereas the rate-determining step for the radical rearrangement is located at the rebound step ( TS2 ). We find that the endo- 2 reaction is favorable over other reactions, which is consistent with the experimental result. Furthermore, the competitive pathways for norcarane oxidation depend on the non-covalent interaction between norcarane and porphyrin-ring, and orbital energy gaps between donor and acceptor orbitals because of stable or unstable acceptor orbital. The stereo- and regio-selectivities of norcarane oxidation are hardly sensitive to the zero-point energy and thermal free energy corrections.

Abstract
The reaction of osmium tetroxide (OsO4) and carboxylate anions (acetate: X- = AcO- and benzoate: X- = BzO-) gave 1 : 1 adducts, [OsO4(X)]- (1X), the structures of which were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. In both cases, the carboxylate anion X coordinates to the osmium centre to generate a distorted trigonal bipyramidal osmium(VIII) complex. The carboxylate adducts show a negative shift of the redox potentials (E1/2) and a red shift of the νOsO stretches as compared to those of tetrahedral OsO4 itself. Despite the negative shift of E1/2, the reactivity of these adduct complexes 1X was enhanced compared to that of OsO4 in benzylic C(sp3)-H bond oxidation. The reaction obeyed the first-order kinetics on both 1X and the substrates, giving the second-order rate constant (k2), which exhibits a linear correlation with the C-H bond dissociation energy (BDEC-H) of the substrates (xanthene, 9,10-dihydroanthracene, fluorene and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) and a kinetic deuterium isotope effect (KIE) of 9.7 (k2(xanthene-h2)/k2(xanthene-d2)). On the basis of these kinetic data together with the DFT calculation results, we propose a stepwise reaction mechanism involving rate-limiting benzylic hydrogen atom abstraction and subsequent rebound of the generated organic radical intermediate to a remaining oxido group on the osmium centre.

Abstract
The selective hydroxylation of aliphatic C-H bonds remains a challenging but broadly useful transformation. Nature has evolved systems that excel at this reaction, exemplified by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which use an iron-oxo intermediate to activate aliphatic C-H bonds with k1 > 1400 s-1 at 4 °C. Many synthetic catalysts have been inspired by these enzymes and are similarly proposed to use transition metal-oxo intermediates. However, most examples of well-characterized transition metal-oxo species are not capable of reacting with strong, aliphatic C-H bonds, resulting in a lack of understanding of what factors facilitate this reactivity. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a new terminal CoIII-oxo complex, PhB(AdIm)3CoIIIO. Upon oxidation, a transient CoIV-oxo intermediate is generated that is capable of hydroxylating aliphatic C-H bonds with an extrapolated k1 for C-H activation >130 s-1 at 4 °C, comparable to values observed in cytochrome P450 enzymes. Experimental thermodynamic values and DFT analysis demonstrate that, although the initial C-H activation step in this reaction is endergonic, the overall reaction is driven by an extremely exergonic radical rebound step, similar to what has been proposed in cytochrome P450 enzymes. The rapid C-H hydroxylation reactivity displayed in this well-defined system provides insight into how hydroxylation is accomplished by biological systems and similarly potent synthetic oxidants.

Abstract
A mononuclear manganese(V) oxo complex of a bis(amidate)bis(alkoxide) ligand, (NMe4)[MnV(HMPAB)(O)] [2; H4HMPAB = 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamido)benzene], was synthesized and structurally characterized. A Mn-Oterm distance of 1.566(4) Å was observed in the solid-state structure of 2, consistent with the Mn≡O formulation. The reaction of redox-inactive metal ions (Mn+ = Li+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Y3+, and Sc3+) with 2 resulted in the formation of 2-Mn+ species, which were characterized by UV-vis, 1H NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ IR spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations suggested that the alkoxide oxygen atoms of the ligand scaffold are energetically most favorable for coordinating the Mn+ ions in 2. Complex 2 revealed one-electron-reduction potential at -0.01 V versus ferrocenium/ferrocene, which shifted anodically upon coordination of Mn+ ions to 2, and such a shift became more prominent with stronger Lewis acids. The oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) reactivities of 2 and 2-Mn+ species with triphenylphosphine were compared, which exhibited a systematic increase of the reaction rate with increasing Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions, and a plot of log k2 versus Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions (ΔE) followed a linear relationship. It was observed that 2-Sc3+ was ca. 3200 times more reactive toward the OAT reaction compared to 2. Hammett analysis of 2 exhibited a V-shaped plot, indicating a change of the reaction mechanism upon going from electron-rich to electron-deficient Ar3P substrates. In contrast, 2-Ca2+ and 2-Sc3+ showed an electrophilic nature toward the OAT reaction, thus demonstrating the role of the Lewis acid in controlling the OAT mechanism. The hydrogen-atom abstraction reaction of 2 and 2-Mn+ adducts with 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide was investigated, and it was observed that the rate of reaction did not vary considerably with the Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions. On the basis of Eyring analysis of 2 and 2-Mn+ adducts, we hypothesized an entropy-controlled hydrogen-atom-transfer reaction for 2-Sc3+, which is different from the reaction mechanism of 2 and 2-Ca2+.

Abstract
The properties of metal/dioxygen species, which are key intermediates in oxidation catalysis, can be modulated by interaction with redox-inactive Lewis acids, but structural information about these adducts is scarce. Here we demonstrate that even mildly Lewis acidic alkali metal ions, which are typically viewed as innocent "spectators", bind strongly to a reactive cis-peroxo dicopper(II) intermediate. Unprecedented structural insight has now been obtained from X-ray crystallographic characterization of the "bare" CuII2(μ-η1:η1-O2) motif and its Li+, Na+, and K+ complexes. UV-vis, Raman, and electrochemical studies show that the binding persists in MeCN solution, growing stronger in proportion to the cation's Lewis acidity. The affinity for Li+ is surprisingly high (∼70 × 104 M-1), leading to Li+ extraction from its crown ether complex. Computational analysis indicates that the alkali ions influence the entire Cu-OO-Cu core, modulating the degree of charge transfer from copper to dioxygen. This induces significant changes in the electronic, magnetic, and electrochemical signatures of the Cu2O2 species. These findings have far-reaching implications for analyses of transient metal/dioxygen intermediates, which are often studied in situ, and they may be relevant to many (bio)chemical oxidation processes when considering the widespread presence of alkali cations in synthetic and natural environments.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the preparation, spectroscopic and theoretical characterization, and reactivity studies of a Co(IV)-oxo complex bearing an N4-macrocyclic coligand, 12-TBC (12-TBC = 1,4,7,10-tetrabenzyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane). On the basis of the ligand and the structure of the Co(II) precursor, [CoII(12-TBC)(CF3SO3)2], one would assume that this species corresponds to a tetragonal Co(IV)-oxo complex, but the spectroscopic data do not support this notion. Co K-edge XAS data show that the treatment of the Co(II) precursor with iodosylbenzene (PhIO) as an oxidant at -40 °C in the presence of a proton source leads to a distinct shift in the Co K-edge, in agreement with the formation of a Co(IV) intermediate. The presence of the oxo group is further demonstrated by resonance Raman (rRaman) spectroscopy. Interestingly, the EPR data of this complex show a high degree of rhombicity, indicating structural distortion. This is further supported by the EXAFS data. Using DFT calculations, a structural model is developed for this complex with a ligand-protonated structure that features a Co═O···HN hydrogen bond and a four-coordinate Co center in a seesaw-shaped coordination geometry. Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy further supports this finding. The hydrogen bond leads to an interesting polarization of the Co-oxo π-bonds, where one O(p) lone-pair is stabilized and leads to a regular Co(d) interaction, whereas the other π-bond shows an inverted ligand field. The reactivity of this complex in hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfer reactions is discussed as well.

Abstract
We anticipate high-valent metal-fluoride species will be highly effective hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) oxidants because of the magnitude of the H-F bond (in the product) that drives HAT oxidation. We prepared a dimeric FeIII (F)-F-FeIII (F) complex (1) by reacting [FeII (NCCH3 )2 (TPA)](ClO4 )2 (TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) with difluoro(phenyl)-λ3 -iodane (difluoroiodobenzene). 1 was a sluggish oxidant, however, it was readily activated by reaction with Lewis or Brønsted acids to yield a monomeric [FeIII (TPA)(F)(X)]+ complex (2) where X=F/OTf. 1 and 2 were characterized using NMR, EPR, UV/Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. 2 was a remarkably reactive FeIII reagent for oxidative C-H activation, demonstrating reaction rates for hydrocarbon HAT comparable to the most reactive FeIII and FeIV oxidants.

A mononuclear nonheme cobalt(ii) complex, [(TMG3tren)CoII(OTf)](OTf) (1), activates dioxygen in the presence of hydrogen atom donor substrates, such as tetrahydrofuran and cyclohexene, resulting in the generation of a cobalt(ii)-alkylperoxide intermediate (2), which then converts to the previously reported cobalt(iv)-oxo complex, [(TMG3tren)CoIV(O)]2+-(Sc(OTf)3)n (3), in >90% yield upon addition of a redox-inactive metal ion, Sc(OTf)3. Intermediates 2 and 3 represent the cobalt analogues of the proposed iron(ii)-alkylperoxide precursor that converts to an iron(iv)-oxo intermediate via O-O bond heterolysis in pterin-dependent nonheme iron oxygenases. In reactivity studies, 2 shows an amphoteric reactivity in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions, whereas 3 is an electrophilic oxidant. To the best of our knowledge, the present study reports the first example showing the generation of cobalt-oxygen intermediates by activating dioxygen at a cobalt(ii) center and the reactivities of the cobalt-oxygen intermediates in oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Coupled dinuclear copper oxygen cores (Cu2 O2 ) featured in type III copper proteins (hemocyanin, tyrosinase, catechol oxidase) are vital for O2 transport and substrate oxidation in many organisms. μ-1,2-cis peroxido dicopper cores (C P) have been proposed as key structures in the early stages of O2 binding in these proteins; their reversible isomerization to other Cu2 O2 cores are directly relevant to enzyme function. Despite the relevance of such species to type III copper proteins and the broader interest in the properties and reactivity of bimetallic C P cores in biological and synthetic systems, the properties and reactivity of C P Cu2 O2 species remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report the reversible interconversion of μ-1,2-trans peroxido (T P) and C P dicopper cores. CaII mediates this process by reversible binding at the Cu2 O2 core, highlighting the unique capability for metal-ion binding events to stabilize novel reactive fragments and control O2 activation in biomimetic systems.

Abstract
Catalytic water oxidation is a required process for clean energy production based on the concept of artificial photosynthesis. Here, we provide in situ spectroscopic and computational analysis for the closest known photosystem II analog, [Co4O4]n+ ([Co4O4Py4Ac4]0, Py = pyridine and Ac = CH3COO-), which catalyzes electrochemical water oxidation. In situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure detects an ultrashort, CoIV=O (~1.67 Å) moiety, a crucial intermediate for O-O bond formation. Density function theory analyses show that the intermediate has two CoIV centers and a CoIV=O unit of strong radicaloid character sufficient to support a CoIV=O + H2O = Co-OOH + H+ transition, where the carboxyl ligand accepts the proton and the bridging oxygen stabilizes the peroxide via hydrogen bonding. The proposed water nucleophilic attack mechanism accounts for all prior spectroscopic evidence on the Co4O44+ core. Our results are important for the design and development of efficient water oxidation catalysts, which contribute to the ultimate goal of clean energy from artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged diiron(III) intermediates P are proposed as reactive intermediates in various biological oxidation reactions. In sMMO, P acts as an electrophile, and performs hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfers to electron‐rich substrates. In cyanobacterial ADO, however, P is postulated to react by nucleophilic attack on electrophilic carbon atoms. In biomimetic studies, the ability of μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged dimetal complexes of Fe, Co, Ni and Cu to act as nucleophiles that effect deformylation of aldehydes is documented. By performing reactivity and theoretical studies on an end‐on μ‐1,2‐peroxodicobalt(III) complex 1 involving a non‐heme ligand system, L1, supported on a Sn6O6 stannoxane core, we now show that a peroxo‐bridged dimetal complex can also be a reactive electrophile. The observed electrophilic chemistry, which is induced by the constraints provided by the Sn6O6 core, represents a new domain for metal−peroxide reactivity.

Abstract
The coupling of selective C-H activation with O2 activation is an important goal for organic synthesis. New experimental and computational results, along with the results from experimental work accumulated over many decades, now unequivocally link O2 activation with C-H activation by the classic Co(salen) complexes. A common holistic mechanistic framework can rationalise the formation of ostensibly diverse peroxo, superoxo, organo and alkoxide complexes of CoIII(salen). DFT calculations show that cobalt(iii)superoxo, dicobalt(iii)peroxo and cobalt(iii)hydroperoxo complexes are all viable intermediates as participants in hydrogen atom transfer reactions, whereas a Co(iv)oxo intermediate is unlikely. The reaction conditions will determine the pathway followed and all pathways are initiated through the initial formation of a superoxo complex, CoIII(salen)(O2˙)(MeOH) (EPR: g = 2.025, A = 19 G). Organo and alkoxide ligands are derived from solvent media and the trends in reactivity reveal that combination of the pKa and BDE of the C-H of the respective solvent substrates are important. These data explain why landmark, structurally characterized, μ2-η1,η2-peroxide and η1-superoxide Co(salen)-O2 adducts were predominantly isolated from solvents with high C-H pKa values (DMSO, DMF, DMA).

Abstract
The high-valent diiron(IV) intermediate Q is the key oxidant that cleaves strong C-H bonds of methane in the catalytic cycle of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO). sMMO-Q was previously reported as a bis-μ-oxo FeIV2(μ-O)2 diamond core but was recently described to have an open core with a long Fe···Fe distance. We recently reported a high-valent CoIII,IV2(μ-O)2 diamond core complex (1) that is highly reactive with sp3 C-H bonds. In this work, we demonstrated that the C-H bond cleaving reactivity of 1 can be further enhanced by introducing a Lewis base X, affording faster kinetic rate constants and the ability to cleave stronger C-H bonds compared to 1. We proposed that 1 first reacts with X in a fast equilibrium to form an open core species X-CoIII-O-CoIV-O (1-X). We were able to characterize 1-X using EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. 1-X exhibited an S = 1/2 EPR signal distinct from that of the parent complex 1. DFT calculations showed that 1-X has an open core with the spin density heavily delocalized in the CoIV-O unit. Moreover, 1-X has a more favorable thermodynamic driving force and a smaller activation barrier than 1 to carry out C-H bond activation reactions. Notably, 1-X is at least 4 orders of magnitude more reactive than its diiron open core analogues. Our findings indicate that the diamond core isomerization is likely a practical enzymatic strategy to unmask the strong oxidizing power of sMMO-Q necessary to attack the highly inert C-H bonds of methane.

Abstract
Considering the importance of water splitting as the best solution for clean and renewable energy, the worldwide efforts for development of increasingly active molecular water oxidation catalysts must be accompanied by studies that focus on elucidating the mode of actions and catalytic pathways. One crucial challenge remains the elucidation of the factors that determine the selectivity of water oxidation by the desired 4e-/4H+ pathway that leads to O2 rather than by 2e-/2H+ to H2O2. We now show that water oxidation with the cobalt-corrole CoBr8 as electrocatalyst affords H2O2 as the main product in homogeneous solutions, while heterogeneous water oxidation by the same catalyst leads exclusively to oxygen. Experimental and computation-based investigations of the species formed during the process uncover the formation of a Co(III)-superoxide intermediate and its preceding high-valent Co-oxyl complex. The competition between the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of Co(III)-hydroperoxide [Co(III)-OOH]- to release H2O2 and the electrochemical oxidation of the same to release O2 via [Co(III)-O2•]- is identified as the key step determining the selectivity of water oxidation.

Abstract
High-valent oxocobalt(IV) species have been invoked as key intermediates in oxidative catalysis, but investigations into the chemistry of proton-coupled redox reactions of such species have been limited. Herein, the reactivity of an established water oxidation catalyst, [Co4O4(OAc)4(py)4][PF6], toward H-atom abstraction reactions is described. Mechanistic analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations support a concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) pathway in which the high energy intermediates formed in stepwise pathways are bypassed. Natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations point to cooperative donor-acceptor σ interactions at the transition state, whereby the H-atom of the substrate is transferred to an orbital delocalized over a Co3(μ3-O) fragment. The mechanistic insights provide design principles for the development of catalytic C-H activation processes mediated by a multimetallic oxo metal cluster.
