Abstract
Metal nitrosyls are fascinating compounds because they undergo significant geometry changes in the excited state. The volatile compound, Co(CO)3NO, is a model for understanding the excited-state behavior. In this experiment, Co(CO)3NO was photodissociated in a DC-sliced velocity mapping ion imaging apparatus with 1 + 1' resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) detection of the nascent NO. Ion images were collected for different linear polarization of the dissociation and probe lasers to determine the vector correlations in the photodissociation. The fastest NO products arise from an excitation parallel to the dissociating Co-NO bond. The Co-NO bond bends in the excited state, producing an NO photoproduct with angular momentum that is also aligned in the laboratory frame. The μ-v-J vector correlations were measured and are consistent with the orientation μ||v⊥J caused by an excited-state Co-NO bend prior to dissociation. Slower NO photoproducts emerge with smaller vector correlations stemming from fragmentation, parent or fragment rotation, or intersystem crossing.

Abstract
Nitriles are organic compounds bearing a − C ≡ N group; they are frequently known to occur naturally in both fauna and flora and are also synthesized chemically. They have wide applicability in the fields of medicine, industry, and environmental monitoring. However, the majority of nitrile compounds are considered to be lethal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic in nature and are known to cause potential health problems such as nausea, bronchial irritation, respiratory distress, convulsions, coma, and skeletal deformities in humans. Nitrile-converting enzymes, which are extracted from microorganisms, are commonly termed nitrilases and have drawn the attention of researchers all over the world to combat the toxicity of nitrile compounds. The present review focuses on the utility of nitrile-converting enzymes, sources, classification, structure, properties, and applications, as well as the future perspective on nitrilases.

Abstract
Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are non-heme Fe(III) or non-corrin Co(III) containing metalloenzymes that possess an N(2)S(3) ligand environment with nitrogen donors derived from amidates and sulfur donors derived from cysteinates. A closely related enzyme is thiocyanate hydrolase (SCNase), which possesses a nearly identical active-site coordination environment as CoNHase. These enzymes are redox inactive and perform hydrolytic reactions; SCNase hydrolyzes thiocyanate anions while NHase converts nitriles into amides. Herein an active CoNHase metallopeptide mimic, [Co(III)NHase-m1] (NHase-m1 = AcNH-CCDLP-CGVYD-PA-COOH), that contains Co(III) in a similar N(2)S(3) coordination environment as CoNHase is reported. [Co(III)NHase-m1] was characterized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), Co K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (Co-S: 2.21 Å; Co-N: 1.93 Å), vibrational, and optical spectroscopies. We find that [Co(III)NHase-m1] will perform the catalytic conversion of acrylonitrile into acrylamide with up to 58 turnovers observed after 18 h at 25 °C (pH 8.0). FTIR data used in concert with calculated vibrational data (mPWPW91/aug-cc-TZVPP) demonstrates that the active form of [Co(III)NHase-m1] has a ligated SO(2) (ν = 1091 cm(-1)) moiety and a ligated protonated SO(H) (ν = 928 cm(-1)) moiety; when only one oxygenated cysteinate ligand (i.e., a mono-SO(2) coordination motif) or the bis-SO(2) coordination motif are found within [Co(III)NHase-m1] no catalytic activity is observed. Calculations of the thermodynamics of ligand exchange (B3LYP/aug-cc-TZVPP) suggest that the reason for this is that the SO(2)/SO(H) equatorial ligand motif promotes both water dissociation from the Co(III)-center and nitrile coordination to the Co(III)-center. In contrast, the under- or overoxidized motifs will either strongly favor a five coordinate Co(III)-center or strongly favor water binding to the Co(III)-center over nitrile binding.

Abstract
Fe-type nitrile hydratase (NHase) is a non-heme Fe(III)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the hydration of nitriles to the corresponding amides. Despite experimental studies of the enzyme and model Fe(III)-containing complexes, many questions concerning the electronic structure and spectroscopic transitions of the metal center remain unanswered. In addition, the catalytic mechanism of nitrile hydration has not yet been determined. We now report density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G) calculations on three models of the Fe(III) center in the active site of NHase corresponding to hypothetical intermediates in the enzyme-catalyzed hydration of acetonitrile. Together with natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of the chemical bonding in these active-site models and INDO/S CIS calculations of their electronic spectra, this theoretical investigation gives new insight into the molecular origin of the unusual low-spin preference and spectroscopic properties of the Fe(III) center. In addition, the low-energy electronic transition observed for the active form of NHase is assigned to a dd transition that is coupled with charge-transfer transitions involving the metal and its sulfur ligands. Calculations of isodesmic ligand-exchange reaction energies provide support for coordination of the Fe(III) center in free NHase by a water molecule rather than a hydroxide ion and suggest that the activation of the nitrile substrate by binding to the metal in the sixth coordination site during catalytic turnover cannot yet be definitively ruled out.

Abstract
The unusual metal coordination and spin-state of the Fe(III) center in nitrile hydratase (NHase) has stimulated the synthesis of numerous model complexes in efforts to understand the reactivity and spectroscopic properties of the enzyme. A particular problem has been the development of model Fe(III) complexes that exhibit reversible, photolabile binding to nitric oxide (NO) in a manner similar to that observed for the NHase metal center. We now report a detailed NBO analysis of the ground-state chemical bonding in three [Fe-NO](6) complexes that exhibit different responses to irradiation, together with investigations of their spectroscopic properties using semiempirical INDO/S CI singles calculations. Our computational studies reveal a correlation between the photolability of these complexes and the existence of low-energy transitions that promote an electron into the Fe-NO pi(*) antibonding molecular orbital. In addition to providing detailed insights into how the ligand field influences the spectroscopy of these mononuclear complexes, these studies strengthen our previous conclusions regarding the role of post-translational cysteine modification in modulating the photoreactivity of the inactive, NO complex of NHase.

Abstract
The diamino-dithiolato N2S2 ligand N,N'-bis-2-methyl-mercaptopropyl-N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, H2bmmp-dmed), and its nickel (1) and zinc (2) complexes have been prepared and their reactivities with hydrogen peroxide investigated. Complex 1 yields a mixture of sulfenato (RSO-), 4, sulfinato (RSO2-), 3, and sulfonato (RSO3-), 5, products upon addition of H2O2. Products are separable by column chromatography. Stoichiometric addition of H2O2 to 2 yields an inseparable mixture. Excess peroxide addition results in oxygenation of the ligand to the disulfonate, 6, and decomplexation of zinc. Complexes 1, 2, and 3 and compound 6 have been investigated by X-ray crystallography, and their structures are reported. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of 1 and 2 reveal significant sulfur p character in the HOMO of each complex. However, 1 also shows significant metal d character that is pi-antibonding with respect to the sulfur p orbitals. Complex 2 shows little metal character in the HOMO. Implications of the HOMO with respect to S-centered reactivity and metal ligand distances in S-oxygenated products are provided.

Abstract
To examine how small structural changes influence the reactivity and magnetic properties of biologically relevant metal complexes, the reactivity and magnetic properties of two structurally related five-coordinate Fe(III) thiolate compounds are compared. (Et,Pr)-ligated [Fe(III)(S(2)(Me2)N(3)(Et,Pr))]PF(6) (3) is synthesized via the abstraction of a sulfur from alkyl persulfide ligated [Fe(III)(S(2)(Me2)N(3)(Et,Pr))-S(pers)]PF(6) (2) using PEt(3). (Et,Pr)-3 is structurally related to (Pr,Pr)-ligated [Fe(III)(S(2)(Me2)N(3)(Pr,Pr))]PF(6) (1), a nitrile hydratase model compound previously reported by our group, except it contains one fewer methylene unit in its ligand backbone. Removal of this methylene distorts the geometry, opens a S-Fe-N angle by approximately 10 degrees, alters the magnetic properties by stabilizing the S = 1/2 state relative to the S = 3/2 state, and increases reactivity. Reactivity differences between 3 and 1 were assessed by comparing the thermodynamics and kinetics of azide binding. Azide binds reversibly to both (Et,Pr)-3 and (Pr,Pr)-1 in MeOH solutions. The ambient temperature K(eq) describing the equilibrium between five-coordinate 1 or 3 and azide-bound 1-N(3) or 3-N(3) in MeOH is approximately 10 times larger for the (Et,Pr) system. In CH(2)Cl(2), azide binds approximately 3 times faster to 3 relative to 1, and in MeOH, azide dissociates 1 order of magnitude slower from 3-N(3) relative to 1-N(3). The increased on rates are most likely a consequence of the decreased structural rearrangement required to convert 3 to an approximately octahedral structure, or they reflect differences in the LUMO (vs SOMO) orbital population (i.e., spin-state differences). Dissociation rates from both 3-N(3) and 1-N(3) are much faster than one would expect for low-spin Fe(III). Most likely this is due to the labilizing effect of the thiolate sulfur that is trans to azide in these structures.
