Abstract
The need for effective alternative energy sources and "green" industrial processes is a more crucial societal topic than ever. In this context, mastering oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) is a key step to develop fuel cells or to propose alternatives to energy-intensive setups such as the anthraquinone process for hydrogen peroxide production. Achieving this goal using bio-inspired metal complexes based on abundant and non-toxic elements could provide an environmentally friendly option. Given the prevalence of Cu-containing active sites capable of reductive activation of dioxygen in nature, the development of Cu-based catalysts for the ORR thus appears to be a relevant approach. We herein report the preparation, full characterization and (TD)DFT investigation of a new dinuclear mixed-valent copper complex 6 exhibiting a Cu2S core and a bridging triflate anion. Its ORR activity was compared with that of its parent catalyst 1. Two types of solvents were used, acetonitrile and acetone, and various catalyst/Me8Fc (electron source) ratios were tested. Our results highlight a counterintuitive solvent effect for 1 and a drastic drop in the activity for 6 in coordinating acetonitrile together with the modification of its chemical structure.

A Four-Coordinate End-On Superoxocopper(II) Complex: Probing the Link between Coordination Number and Reactivity. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:23704-23716. [PMID: 39192778 PMCID: PMC11363018 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c12268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
Although the reactivity of five-coordinate end-on superoxocopper(II) complexes, CuII(η1-O2•-), is dominated by hydrogen atom transfer, the majority of four-coordinate CuII(η1-O2•-) complexes published thus far display nucleophilic reactivity. To investigate the origin of this difference, we have developed a four-coordinate end-on superoxocopper(II) complex supported by a sterically encumbered bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand, dpb2-MeBPA (1), and compared its substrate reactivity with that of a five-coordinate end-on superoxocopper(II) complex ligated by a similarly substituted tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, dpb3-TMPA (2). Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements and correlation of second-order rate constants (k2's) versus oxidation potentials (Eox) for a range of phenols indicates that the complex [CuII(η1-O2•-)(1)]+ reacts with phenols via a similar hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism to [CuII(η1-O2•-)(2)]+. However, [CuII(η1-O2•-)(1)]+ performs HAT much more quickly, with its k2 for reaction with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (MeO-ArOH) being >100 times greater. Furthermore, [CuII(η1-O2•-)(1)]+ can oxidize C-H bond substrates possessing stronger bonds than [CuII(η1-O2•-)(2)]+ is able to, and it reacts with N-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (MeAcrH2) approximately 200 times faster. The much greater facility for substrate oxidation displayed by [CuII(η1-O2•-)(1)]+ is attributed to it possessing higher inherent electrophilicity than [CuII(η1-O2•-)(2)]+, which is a direct consequence of its lower coordination number. These observations are of relevance to enzymes in which four-coordinate end-on superoxocopper(II) intermediates, rather than their five-coordinate congeners, are routinely invoked as the active oxidants responsible for substrate oxidation.

Abstract
The chemistry of copper-dioxygen complexes is relevant to copper enzymes in biology as well as in (ligand)Cu-O2 (or Cu2-O2) species utilized in oxidative transformations. For overall energy considerations, as applicable in chemical synthesis, it is beneficial to have an appropriate atom economy; both O-atoms of O2(g) are transferred to the product(s). However, examples of such dioxygenase-type chemistry are extremely rare or not well documented. Herein, we report on nucleophilic oxidative aldehyde deformylation reactivity by the peroxo-dicopper(II) species [Cu2II(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+ {BPMPO-H = 2,6-bis{[(bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl}-4-methylphenol)} and [Cu2II(XYLO-)(O22-)]1+ (XYLO- = a BPMPO- analogue possessing bis(2-{2-pyridyl}ethyl)amine chelating arms). Their dicopper(I) precursors are dioxygenase catalysts. The O2(g)-derived peroxo-dicopper(II) intermediates react rapidly with aldehydes like 2-phenylpropionaldehyde (2-PPA) and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (CCA) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at -90 °C. Warming to room temperature (RT) followed by workup results in good yields of formate (HC(O)O-) along with ketones (acetophenone or cyclohexanone). Mechanistic investigation shows that [Cu2II(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+ species initially reacts reversibly with the aldehydes to form detectable dicopper(II) peroxyhemiacetal intermediates, for which optical titrations provide the Keq (at -90 °C) of 73.6 × 102 M-1 (2-PPA) and 10.4 × 102 M-1 (CCA). In the reaction of [Cu2II(XYLO-)(O22-)]1+ with 2-PPA, product complexes characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography are the anticipated dicopper(I) complex, [Cu2I(XYLO-)]1+ plus a mixed-valent Cu(I)Cu(II)-formate species. Formate was further identified and confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis. Using 18O2(g)-isotope labeling the reaction produced a high yield of 18-O incorporated acetophenone as well as formate. The overall results signify that true dioxygenase reactions have occurred, supported by a thorough mechanistic investigation.

Abstract
We report the discovery that the molecule 1-(pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)propan-2-ol (HL) can reduce oxidative stress in neuronal C6 glioma cells exposed to reactive oxygen species (O2-•, H2O2, and •OH) and metal (Cu+) stress conditions. Furthermore, its association with Cu2+ generates [Cu(HL)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(HL)2](ClO4)2 (2) complexes that also exhibit antioxidant properties. Potentiometric titration data show that HL can coordinate to Cu2+ in 1:1 and 1:2 Cu2+:ligand ratios, which was confirmed by monocrystal X-ray studies. The subsequent ultraviolet-visible, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments show that they can decompose a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Kinetic studies revealed that 1 and 2 mimic the superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Complex 1 promotes the fastest decomposition of H2O2 (kobs = 2.32 × 107 M-1 s-1), efficiently dismutases the superoxide anion (kcat = 3.08 × 107 M-1 s-1), and scavenges the hydroxyl radical (RSA50 = 25.7 × 10-6 M). Density functional theory calculations support the formation of dinuclear Cu-peroxide and mononuclear Cu-superoxide species in the reactions of [Cu(HL)Cl2] with H2O2 and O2•-, respectively. Furthermore, both 1 and 2 also reduce the oxidative stress of neuronal glioma C6 cells exposed to different ROS, including O2•- and •OH.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed C─H oxygenation has drawn considerable attention in mechanistic studies. However, a comprehensive investigation combining radical pathways with a metal-catalytic cycle is challenged by the intricate organic radicals and metallic intermediates. Herein, an online coupled EPR/UV-vis/near-IR detecting method is developed to simultaneously monitor both reactive radical species and copper complex intermediates during the reaction. Focusing on copper-catalyzed phenol oxygenation with cumene hydroperoxide, the short-lived alkylperoxyl radical (EPR signal at g = 2.0143) as well as the unexpected square planar Cu(II)-alkoxyl radical complex (near-IR signal at 833 nm) are unveiled during the reaction, in addition to the observable phenoxyl radical in EPR, quinone product in UV-vis, and Cu(II) center in EPR. With a comprehensive picture of diverse intermediates evolving over the same timeline, a novel Cu(I)/Cu(II) proposed relay-catalyzed sequential radical pathway. In this sequence, Cu(II) activates hydroperoxide through Cu(II)-OOR into the alkylperoxide radical, while the reaction between Cu(I) and hydroperoxide leads to Cu(II)(•OR)OH with high H-atom abstracting activity. These results provide a thorough understanding of the Cu(I)/Cu(II) relay catalysis for phenol oxygenation, setting the stage for mechanistic investigations into intricate radical reactions promoted by metallic complexes.

Abstract
Reaction of a rare and well-characterized MnIII-superoxo species, Mn(BDPBrP)(O2⋅) (1, H2BDPBrP=2,6-bis((2-(S)-di(4-bromo)phenylhydroxylmethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl)pyridine), with 4-dimethylaminophenol at -80 °C proceeds via concerted proton electron transfer (CPET) to produce a MnIII-hydroperoxo complex, Mn(BDPBrP)(OOH) (2), alongside 4-dimethylaminophenoxy radical; whereas, upon treatment with 4-nitrophenol, complex 1 undergoes a proton transfer process to afford a MnIV-hydroperoxo complex, [Mn(BDPBrP)(OOH)]+ (3). Intriguingly, the reactions of 1 with 4-chlorophenol and 4-methoxyphenol follow two routes of CPET and sequential proton and electron transfer to furnish complex 2 in the end. UV-vis and EPR spectroscopic studies coupled with DFT calculations provided support for this wide mechanistic spectrum of activating various phenol O-H bonds by a single MnIII-superoxo complex, 1.

Abstract
This review summarizes the latest discoveries in the field of C-H activation by copper monoxygenases and more particularly by their bioinspired systems. This work first describes the recent background on copper-containing enzymes along with additional interpretations about the nature of the active copper-oxygen intermediates. It then focuses on relevant examples of bioinorganic synthetic copper-oxygen intermediates according to their nuclearity (mono to polynuclear). This includes a detailed description of the spectroscopic features of these adducts as well as their reactivity towards the oxidation of recalcitrant Csp3 -H bonds. The last part is devoted to the significant expansion of heterogeneous catalytic systems based on copper-oxygen cores (i.e. within zeolite frameworks).

Abstract
In the present era, the fixation of atmospheric CO2 is of significant importance and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of carbon and energy flow within ecosystems. Generally, CO2 fixation is carried out by autotrophic organisms; however, the scientific community has paid substantial attention to execute this process in laboratory. In this report, we synthesized two carbonato-bridged trinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu3(L1)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (1) and [Cu3(L2)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (2) via atmospheric fixation of CO2 starting with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O and easily accessible pyridine/pyrazine-based N4 donor Schiff base ligands L1 and L2, respectively. Under very similar reaction conditions, the ligand framework embedded with the phenolate moiety (HL3) fails to do so because of the reduction of the Lewis acidity of the metal center, inhibiting the formation of a reactive hydroxide bound copper(II) species, which is required for the fixation of atmospheric CO2. X-ray crystal structures display that carbonate-oxygen atoms bridge three copper(II) centers in μ3syn-anti disposition in 1 and 2, whereas [Cu(HL3)(ClO4)] (3) is a mononuclear complex. Interestingly, we also isolated an important intermediate of atmospheric CO2 fixation and structurally characterized it as an anti-anti μ2 carbonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L2)2(μ2-CO3)](ClO4)2·MeOH (2-I), providing an in-depth understanding of CO2 fixation in these systems. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement suggests ferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers in both 1 and 2, and the results have been further supported by DFT calculations. The catalytic efficiency of our synthesized complexes 1-3 was checked by means of catechol oxidase and phenoxazinone synthase-like activities. While complexes 1 and 2 showed oxidase-like activity for aerobic oxidation of o-aminophenol and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol, complex 3 was found to be feebly active. ESI mass spectrometry revealed that the oxidation reaction proceeds through the formation of complex-substrate intermediations and was further substantiated by DFT calculations. Moreover, active catalysts 1 and 2 were effectively utilized for the base-free oxidation of benzylic alcohols in the presence of air as a green and sustainable oxidant and catalytic amount of TEMPO in acetonitrile. Various substituted benzylic alcohols smoothly converted to their corresponding aldehydes under very mild conditions and ambient temperature. The present catalytic protocol showcases its environmental sustainability by producing minimal waste.

Abstract
A tandem Cu-catalyzed oxidation-intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction leading to bioactive α-hydroxyesters from α-hydroxyketones is reported. The process uses oxygen as a sole oxidant to achieve the formation of glyoxals, which are efficiently converted in situ to important α-hydroxyesters. The mechanistic insights are provided by isotopic labeling and supported by DFT calculations. The transformation proved a robust synthetic tool to achieve the synthesis of human metabolites and hydroxyl esters of various biologically active steroid derivatives.

The influence of thioether-substituted ligands in dicopper(II) complexes: Enhancing oxidation and biological activities. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 256:112573. [PMID: 38678913 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis, structural analysis, as well as the magnetic and spectroscopic characterizations of three new dicopper(II) complexes with dinucleating phenol-based ligands containing different thioether donor substituents: aromatic (1), aliphatic (2) or thiophene (3). Temperature-dependent magnetometry reveals the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling for 1 and 3 (J = -2.27 cm-1 and -5.01 cm-1, respectively, H = -2JS1S2) and ferromagnetic coupling for 2 (J = 5.72 cm-1). Broken symmetry DFT calculations attribute this behavior to a major contribution from the dz2 orbitals for 1 and 3, and from the dx2-y2 orbitals for 2, along with the p orbitals of the oxygens. The bioinspired catalytic activities of these complexes related to catechol oxidase were studied using 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol as substrate. The order of catalytic rates for the substrate oxidation follows the trend 1 > 2 > 3 with kcat of (90.79 ± 2.90) × 10-3 for 1, (64.21 ± 0.99) × 10-3 for 2 and (14.20 ± 0.32) × 10-3 s-1 for 3. The complexes also cleave DNA through an oxidative mechanism with minor-groove preference, as indicated by experimental and molecular docking assays. Antimicrobial potential of these highly active complexes has shown that 3 inhibits both Staphylococcus aureus bacterium and Epidermophyton floccosum fungus. Notably, the complexes were found to be nontoxic to normal cells but exhibited cytotoxicity against epidermoid carcinoma cells, surpassing the activity of the metallodrug cisplatin. This research shows the multifaceted properties of these complexes, making them promising candidates for various applications in catalysis, nucleic acids research, and antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
In this work, we report the generation and characterization of two new Co(III)-peroxo complexes 2 and 3. 2 is best described as a mononuclear CoIII-(O2) complex that exhibits an 18O-isotope sensitive OO bond stretching vibration at 845(-49) cm-1, indicating a relatively weak peroxo moiety compared to those of other CoIII-(O2) complexes reported previously. Complex 3 is a CoIII-peroxo-arylboronate species having a rare {CoIIIOOBO} five-membered metallocycle, which is structurally characterized using X-ray crystallography. Investigations of the reaction mechanism using density functional theory calculations show that 2 likely undergoes a nucleophilic attack to an arylboronic acid, which is generated by hydrolysis of the BPh4- anion in wet acetonitrile solution, to first form a CoIII-peroxo-arylboronic acid adduct, followed by the loss of one benzene molecule to generate the five-membered metallocycle. The entire reaction is thermodynamically favorable. Taken together, the conversion of 2 to 3 represents the discovery of a novel nucleophilic reactivity that can be carried out by mononuclear Co(III)-peroxo complexes.

Abstract
Cu(II)-catalyzed C-N bond formation reactions remain one of most widely practiced and powerful protocols for the synthesis of value-added chemicals, bioactive molecules, and materials. Despite numerous experimental contributions, the overall mechanistic understanding of the C-N coupling reaction based on the Chan-Lam (CL) reaction methodology is still limited and underdeveloped, particularly with respect to the use of different substrates and catalytic species. Herein, we report an in-depth DFT-based study on the mechanism of N-arylation of imidazoles following Collman's experimental setup. Our findings unfold for the first time the ligand-based CL coupling catalyzed by the [Cu(II)(OH)TMEDA]2Cl2 complex. The transmetalation step with an energy span of 26.2 kcal mol-1 is rate-determining, while the subsequent disproportionation and reductive elimination are relatively facile (δE = 16.4 kcal mol-1) in comparison to the CL amination of secondary amines. The final oxidative catalyst regeneration results in the presence of O2, accompanying an energy span of 12.8 kcal mol-1, where hydrogen transfer from the coordinated water allows the reduction of superoxo linkage. Couplings performed in the presence of a combination of bidentate sp3-N ligands with single and double -(CH2)- spacer units afford a kinetically facile transformation (24.5 kcal mol-1). Furthermore, our results agree with the experimental outcomes of regioselective couplings of substituted imidazoles.

Abstract
Synthetic side-on peroxide-bound dicopper(II) (SP) complexes are important for understanding the active site structure/function of many copper-containing enzymes. This work highlights the formation of new {CuII(μ-η2:η2-O22-)CuII} complexes (with electronic absorption and resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopic characterization) using tripodal N3ArOH ligands at -135 °C, which spontaneously participate in intramolecular phenolic H-atom abstraction (HAA). This results in the generation of bis(phenoxyl radical)bis(μ-OH)dicopper(II) intermediates, substantiated by their EPR/UV-vis/rR spectroscopic signatures and crystal structural determination of a diphenoquinone dicopper(I) complex derived from ligand para-C═C coupling. The newly observed chemistry in these ligand-Cu systems is discussed with respect to (a) our Cu-MeAN (tridentate N,N,N',N',N″-pentamethyldipropylenetriamine)-derived model SP species, which was unreactive toward exogenous monophenol addition (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 8513-8524), emphasizing the impact of intramolecularly tethered ArOH groups, and (b) recent advances in understanding the mechanism of action of the tyrosinase (Ty) enzyme.

Abstract
We have developed a family of dinucleating ligands with varying terminal donors to generate dinuclear peroxo and high-valent complexes and to correlate their stabilities and reactivities with their molecular and electronic structures as a function of the terminal donors. It appears that the electron-donating ability of the terminal donors is an important handle for controlling these stabilities and reactivities. Here, we present the synthesis of a new dinucleating ligand with potentially strong donating terminal imidazole donors. As CoII ions are sensitive to variations in donor strength in terms of coordination number, magnetism, UV-Vis-NIR spectra, redox potentials, we probe the electron donation ability of this new ligand in CoIICoII complexes in comparison to the parent CoIICoII complexes with terminal pyridine donors and we synthesize the analogous CoIICoII complexes with terminal 6-methylpyridines and methoxy-substituted pyridines. The molecular structures show indeed strong variations in coordination numbers and bond lengths. These differences in the molecular structures are reflected in the magnetic properties and in the d-d transitions demonstrating that the molecular structures remain intact upon dissolution. The redox potentials are analyzed with respect to the electron donation ability and are the only handle to observe an effect of the methoxy-substituted pyridines. All data taken together show the following order of electron donating ability for the terminal donors: 6-methylpyridines ≪ pyridines < methoxy-substituted pyridines ≪ imidazoles.

Abstract
Using light to unveil unexplored reactivities of earth-abundant metal-oxygen intermediates is a formidable challenge, given the already remarkable oxidation ability of these species in the ground state. However, the light-induced reactivity of Cu-O2 intermediates still remains unexplored, due to the photoejection of O2 under irradiation. Herein, we describe a photoinduced reactivity switch of bioinspired O2-activating CuI complexes, based on the archetypal tris(2-pyridyl-methyl)amine (TPA) ligand. This report represents a key precedent for light-induced reactivity switch in Cu-O2 chemistry, obtained by positioning C-H substrates in close proximity of the active site. Open and caged CuI complexes displaying an internal aryl ether substrate were evaluated. Under light, a Cu-O2 mediated reaction takes place that induces a selective conversion of the internal aryl ether unit to a phenolate-CH2- moiety with excellent yields. This light-induced transformation displays high selectivity and allows easy postfunctionalization of TPA-based ligands for straightforward preparation of challenging heteroleptic structures. In the absence of light, O2 activation results in the standard oxidative cleavage of the covalently attached substrate. A reaction mechanism that supports a monomeric cupric-superoxide-dependent reactivity promoted by light is proposed on the basis of reactivity studies combined with (TD-) DFT calculations.

Abstract
Copper ion is a versatile and ubiquitous facilitator of redox chemical and biochemical processes. These include the binding of molecular oxygen to copper(I) complexes where it undergoes stepwise reduction-protonation. A detailed understanding of thermodynamic relationships between such reduced/protonated states is key to elucidate the fundamentals of the chemical/biochemical processes involved. The dicopper(I) complex [CuI2(BPMPO-)]1+ {BPMPOH = 2,6-bis{[(bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl}-4-methylphenol)} undergoes cryogenic dioxygen addition; further manipulations in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran generate dicopper(II) peroxo [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+, hydroperoxo [CuII2(BPMPO-)(-OOH)]2+, and superoxo [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O2•-)]2+ species, characterized by UV-vis, resonance Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, and cold spray ionization mass spectrometry. An unexpected EPR spectrum for [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O2•-)]2+ is explained by the analysis of its exchange-coupled three-spin frustrated system and DFT calculations. A redox equilibrium, [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+ ⇄ [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O2•-)]2+, is established utilizing Me8Fc+/Cr(η6-C6H6)2, allowing for [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O2•-)]2+/[CuII2(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+ reduction potential calculation, E°' = -0.44 ± 0.01 V vs Fc+/0, also confirmed by cryoelectrochemical measurements (E°' = -0.40 ± 0.01 V). 2,6-Lutidinium triflate addition to [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O22-)]1+ produces [CuII2(BPMPO-)(-OOH)]2+; using a phosphazene base, an acid-base equilibrium was achieved, pKa = 22.3 ± 0.7 for [CuII2(BPMPO-)(-OOH)]2+. The BDFEOO-H = 80.3 ± 1.2 kcal/mol, as calculated for [CuII2(BPMPO-)(-OOH)]2+; this is further substantiated by H atom abstraction from O-H substrates by [CuII2(BPMPO-)(O2•-)]2+ forming [CuII2(BPMPO-)(-OOH)]2+. In comparison to known analogues, the thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of [CuII2(BPMPO-)] O2-derived adducts can be accounted for based on chelate ring size variations built into the BPMPO- framework and the resulting enhanced CuII-ion Lewis acidity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring zirconium-based clusters are widely used for the development of functionalized materials due to their exceptional stability. In this study, we report the synthesis of a novel N,N,N-ligand compatible with a biphenyl dicarboxylic acid-based MOF. However, the resulting copper(I) complex exhibited unexpected coordination behaviour, lacking the intended trifold coordination motif. Herein, we demonstrate the successful immobilization of a bioinspired ligand within the MOF, which preserved its crystalline and porous nature while generating a well-defined copper site. Comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including X-ray absorption, UV/Vis, and infrared spectroscopy, were conducted to investigate the copper site and its thermal behaviour. The immobilized ligand exhibited the desired tridentate coordination to copper, providing access to a coordination motif otherwise unattainable. Notably, water molecules were also found to coordinate to copper. Upon heating, the copper centre within the MOF exhibited reversible dehydration, suggesting facile creation of open coordination sites. Furthermore, the copper site displayed reduction at elevated temperatures and subsequent susceptibility to oxidation by molecular oxygen. Lastly, both the molecular complexes and the MOF were evaluated as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexane using hydrogen peroxide. This work highlights the successful immobilization of a bioinspired ligand in a zirconium-based MOF, shedding light on the structural features, thermal behaviour, and catalytic potential of the resulting copper sites.

Abstract
Wave function methods are employed to analyze the ground and low-lying excited states of bipyramid trigonal copper(II) superoxido complexes, up to their characteristic ligand to metal charge transfer band. Several multireference methods have been combined to provide new insights into the interpretation of their experimental absorption spectra. We show that the intraligand transition on the dioxygen leads to a dark state. Among the results, we shall highlight the finding of doubly excited states in the region of the d-d transitions and the subtle interplay between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the ground and excited states. Some of these findings could be obtained only with multireference methods.

Abstract
Dioxygen binding solely through non-covalent interactions is rare. In living systems, dioxygen transport takes place via iron or copper-containing biological cofactors. Specifically, a reversible covalent interaction is established when O2 binds to the mono or polynuclear metal center. However, O2 stabilization in the absence of covalent bond formation is challenging and rarely observed. Here, we demonstrate a unique example of reversible non-covalent binding of dioxygen within the cavity of a well-defined synthetic all-Cu(i) tetracopper cluster.

Abstract
Natural copper oxygenases provide fundamental principles for catalytic oxidation with kinetically inert molecular oxygen, but it remains a marked challenge to mimic both their structure and function in an entity. Inspired by the CuA enzymatic sites, herein we report two new photoactive binuclear copper-iodine- and bisbenzimidazole-comodified coordination polymers to reproduce the natural oxo-functionalization repertoire in a unique photocatalytic pathway. Under light irradiation, the Cu-halide coordination polymers effectively reduce NHP esters and complete oxygen reduction activation via photoinduced electron transfer for the aerobic oxidative coupling of hydroquinone with terminal alkynes, affording hydroxyl-functionalized ketones with high efficiency and selectivity. This supramolecular approach to developing bioinspired artificial oxygenases that merge transition metal- and photocatalysis supplies a new way to fabricate distinctive photocatalysts with desirable catalytic performances and controllable precise active sites.

Abstract
In copper-based enzymes, Cu-hydroperoxo/alkylperoxo species are proposed as key intermediates for their biological activity. A vast amount of literature is available on the functional and structural mimics of enzymatic systems with heme and non-heme ligand frameworks to stabilize high valent metal intermediates, mostly at low temperatures. Herein, we report a reaction between [CuI(NCCH3)4]+ and meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) in CH3CN that produces a putative CuII(mCPBA) species (1). 1 was characterized by UV/Vis, resonance Raman, and EPR spectroscopies. 1 can catalyze both electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions, demonstrating its amphoteric behavior. Additionally, 1 can also conduct electron transfer reactions with a weak reducing agent such as diacetyl ferrocene, making it one of the reactive copper-based intermediates. One of the most important aspects of the current work is the easy synthesis of a CuII(mCPBA) adduct with no complicated ligands for stabilization. Over time, 1 decays to form a CuII paddle wheel complex (2) and is found to be unreactive towards substrate oxidation.

Abstract
This review highlights in situ UV-vis-NIR range absorption spectroscopy in catalysis. A variety of experimental techniques identifying reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and structural properties are discussed. Stopped flow techniques, use of laser pulses, and use of experimental perturbations are demonstrated for in situ studies of enzymatic, homogeneous, heterogeneous, and photocatalysis. They access different time scales and are applicable to different reaction systems and catalyst types. In photocatalysis, femto- and nanosecond resolved measurements through transient absorption are discussed for tracking excited states. UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopies for structural characterization are demonstrated especially for Cu and Fe exchanged zeolites and metalloenzymes. This requires combining different spectroscopies. Combining magnetic circular dichroism and resonance Raman spectroscopy is especially powerful. A multitude of phenomena can be tracked on transition metal catalysts on various supports, including changes in oxidation state, adsorptions, reactions, support interactions, surface plasmon resonances, and band gaps. Measurements of oxidation states, oxygen vacancies, and band gaps are shown on heterogeneous catalysts, especially for electrocatalysis. UV-vis-NIR absorption is burdened by broad absorption bands. Advanced analysis techniques enable the tracking of coking reactions on acid zeolites despite convoluted spectra. The value of UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy to catalyst characterization and mechanistic investigation is clear but could be expanded.

Abstract
Pollution caused by Copper and hydrogen sulfide pollution has severe adverse effects on the environment and organisms. Real-time, fast and accurate monitoring of Cu2+ and S2- faces serious challenges. In this study, we designed a novel biosensor and synthesized it by mimicking the structure of the main Cu(II)-binding site on bovine serum albumin. As a peptide-based sensor, FGGH (FITC-Gly-Gly-His-NH2) can perform the sequential detection of Cu2+ and S2- by fluorescence and colorimetry. The high water solubility and selectivity make it suitable for monitoring Cu2+ and S2- in environmental water samples with high sensitivity; its limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 1.42 nM for Cu2+ and 22.2 nM for S2-. The paper-based sensing platform of this probe was found to be a promising tool for the on-site visualization of real-time quantitative analysis of Cu2+ and S2- due to its rapid response and recyclable detection characteristics. Additionally, FGGH was successfully used to image Cu2+ and S2- in living cells and zebrafish models with adequate fluorescence stability and low cytotoxicity, providing the first visual evidence of the effect of the interactions between Cu2+ and S2- on the redox homeostasis of organisms.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the regioselective functionalization of unsymmetrical ketones using imine directing groups, Cu, and H2O2. The C-H hydroxylation of the substrate-ligands derived from 2-substituted benzophenones occurred exclusively at the γ-position of the unsubstituted ring due to the formation of only one imine stereoisomer. Conversely, the imines derived from 4-substituted benzophenones produced E/Z mixtures that upon reacting with Cu and H2O2 led to two γ-C-H hydroxylation products. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, the ratio of the hydroxylation products did not depend on the ratio of the E/Z isomers but on the electrophilicity of the reactive [LCuOOH]1+. A detailed mechanistic analysis suggests a fast isomerization of the imine substrate-ligand binding the CuOOH core before the rate-determining electrophilic aromatic hydroxylation. Varying the benzophenone substituents and/or introducing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the 4-position of pyridine of the directing group allowed for fine-tuning of the electrophilicity of the mononuclear [LCuOOH]1+ to reach remarkable regioselectivities (up to 91:9 favoring the hydroxylation of the electron-rich arene ring). Lastly, we performed the C-H hydroxylation of alkyl aryl ketones, and like in the unsymmetrical benzophenones, the regioselectivity of the transformations (sp3 vs sp2) could be controlled by varying the electronics of the substrate and/or the directing group.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of diaryl imines provides a route for conversion of ammonia to hydrazine. The present study uses experimental and density functional theory computational methods to investigate the mechanism of N-N bond formation, and the data support a mechanism involving bimolecular coupling of Cu-coordinated iminyl radicals. Computational analysis is extended to CuII-mediated C-C, N-N, and O-O coupling reactions involved in the formation of cyanogen (NC-CN) from HCN, 1,3-butadiyne from ethyne (i.e., Glaser coupling), hydrazine from ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide from water. The results reveal two different mechanistic pathways. Heteroatom ligands with an uncoordinated lone pair (iminyl, NH2, OH) undergo charge transfer to CuII, generating ligand-centered radicals that undergo facile bimolecular radical-radical coupling. Ligands lacking a lone pair (CN and CCH) form bridged binuclear diamond-core structures that undergo C-C coupling. This mechanistic bifurcation is rationalized by analysis of spin densities in key intermediates and transition states, as well as multiconfigurational calculations. Radical-radical coupling is especially favorable for N-N coupling owing to energetically favorable charge transfer in the intermediate and thermodynamically favorable product formation.

Abstract
High or enriched-purity O2 is used in numerous industries and is predominantly produced from the cryogenic distillation of air, an extremely capital- and energy-intensive process. There is significant interest in the development of new approaches for O2-selective air separations, including the use of metal-organic frameworks featuring coordinatively unsaturated metal sites that can selectively bind O2 over N2 via electron transfer. However, most of these materials exhibit appreciable and/or reversible O2 uptake only at low temperatures, and their open metal sites are also potential strong binding sites for the water present in air. Here, we study the framework CuI-MFU-4l (CuxZn5-xCl4-x(btdd)3; H2btdd = bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b],[4',5'-i])dibenzo[1,4]dioxin), which binds O2 reversibly at ambient temperature. We develop an optimized synthesis for the material to access a high density of trigonal pyramidal CuI sites, and we show that this material reversibly captures O2 from air at 25 °C, even in the presence of water. When exposed to air up to 100% relative humidity, CuI-MFU-4l retains a constant O2 capacity over the course of repeated cycling under dynamic breakthrough conditions. While this material simultaneously adsorbs N2, differences in O2 and N2 desorption kinetics allow for the isolation of high-purity O2 (>99%) under relatively mild regeneration conditions. Spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational analyses reveal that O2 binds to the copper(I) sites to form copper(II)-superoxide moieties that exhibit temperature-dependent side-on and end-on binding modes. Overall, these results suggest that CuI-MFU-4l is a promising material for the separation of O2 from ambient air, even without dehumidification.

Electronic Structure and Transformation of Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes (DNICs) Regulated by Redox Non-Innocent Imino-Substituted Phenoxide Ligand. Inorg Chem 2024; 63:2431-2442. [PMID: 38258796 PMCID: PMC10848267 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.3c03367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
The coupled NO-vibrational peaks [IR νNO 1775 s, 1716 vs, 1668 vs cm-1 (THF)] between two adjacent [Fe(NO)2] groups implicate the electron delocalization nature of the singly O-phenoxide-bridged dinuclear dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) [Fe(NO)2(μ-ON2Me)Fe(NO)2] (1). Electronic interplay between [Fe(NO)2] units and [ON2Me]- ligand in DNIC 1 rationalizes that "hard" O-phenoxide moiety polarizes iron center(s) of [Fe(NO)2] unit(s) to enforce a "constrained" π-conjugation system acting as an electron reservoir to bestow the spin-frustrated {Fe(NO)2}9-{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]2- electron configuration (Stotal = 1/2). This system plays a crucial role in facilitating the ligand-based redox interconversion, working in harmony to control the storage and redox-triggered transport of the [Fe(NO)2]10 unit, while preserving the {Fe(NO)2}9 core in DNICs {Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]2- [K-18-crown-6-ether)][(ON2Me)Fe(NO)2] (2) and {Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me] [(ON2Me)Fe(NO)2][PF6] (3). Electrochemical studies suggest that the redox interconversion among [{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]2-] DNIC 3 ↔ [{Fe(NO)2}9-[ON2Me]-] ↔ [{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]] DNIC 2 are kinetically feasible, corroborated by the redox shuttle between O-bridged dimerized [(μ-ONMe)2Fe2(NO)4] (4) and [K-18-crown-6-ether)][(ONMe)Fe(NO)2] (5). In parallel with this finding, the electronic structures of [{Fe(NO)2}9-{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]2-] DNIC 1, [{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]2-] DNIC 2, [{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ON2Me]] DNIC 3, [{Fe(NO)2}9-[ONMe]-]2 DNIC 4, and [{Fe(NO)2}9-[·ONMe]2-] DNIC 5 are evidenced by EPR, SQUID, and Fe K-edge pre-edge analyses, respectively.

Abstract
Tetradentate-N4 ligands stabilize dinuclear {CuII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CuII} and {CuIII(μ-O)2CuIII} species, and CuII complexes of these ligands were reported to catalyze the oxidation of benzene with H2O2. Here, we report {CuII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CuII} and {CuIII(μ-O)2CuIII} intermediates of dinucleating bis(tetradentate-N4) ligands depending on the absence or presence of 6-methyl substituents on the terminal pyridine donors, respectively, generated either from {CuICuI} precursors with O2 or from {CuIICuII} precursors with H2O2 and NEt3. Both intermediates are not stable even at low temperatures, but they show no electrophilic HAT reactivity with DHA. Catalytic investigations on the hydroxylation of benzene with excess H2O2 between 30 and 50 °C indicate that both radical-based and {Cu2On}-based mechanisms depend strongly on the catalytic conditions. In the presence of a radical scavenger, TONs of ∼920/∼720 have been achieved without/with the 6-methyl group of the ligand. Although {CuII(μ-OH)CuII} reacts with excess H2O2 at -40 °C to {CuII(OOH)}2 species, these are only stable for seconds at 20 °C and cannot account for catalytic oxidations over a period of 24 h at 30-50 °C.

Abstract
Copper complexes [Cu(L1H)ClO4] (1) and [Cu(L2)NO3] (2), which are relevant to the metal site of the galactose oxidase enzyme, were synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic methods. L1H2 and L2H2 [where L1H2 stands for 2,2'-((1E,1'E)(2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(2-phenylhydrazin-2-yl-1-ylidene))bis(methanylylidene))diphenol and L2H2 stands for 6,6'-((1E,1'E)-(2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(2-phenylhydrazin-2-yl-1-ylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol), H stands for dissociable proton] are pentadentate ligands. These ligands provide pyridyl N, two imine N, and two non-innocent phenoxyl and phenolato O donors, forming complex 1 as a non-radical complex, while complex 2 is a phenoxyl radical complex. The molecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 were authenticated by X-ray crystallography. Benzyl alcohol oxidation was investigated, and the conversion of 9,10-dihydroanthracene to anthracene was examined to scrutinize the H-atom abstraction reaction. Nuclease activity with complexes 1 and 2 was investigated by self-activated plasmid DNA (pBR322) cleavage. Non-innocent properties of the ligand-containing phenolato function were investigated by DFT calculations.

Abstract
The reactivity of FeIII -alkylperoxido complexes has remained a riddle to inorganic chemists owing to their thermal instability and impotency towards organic substrates. These iron-oxygen adducts have been known as sluggish oxidants towards oxidative electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions. Herein, we report the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of a relatively stable mononuclear high-spin FeIII -alkylperoxido complex supported by an engineered bispidine framework. Against the notion, this FeIII -alkylperoxido complex serves as a rare example of versatile reactivity in both electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions. Detailed mechanistic studies and computational calculations reveal a novel reaction mechanism, where a putative superoxido intermediate orchestrates the amphoteric property of the oxidant. The design of the backbone is pivotal to convey stability and reactivity to alkylperoxido and superoxido intermediates. Contrary to the well-known O-O bond cleavage that generates an FeIV -oxido species, the FeIII -alkylperoxido complex reported here undergoes O-C bond scission to generate a superoxido moiety that is responsible for the amphiphilic reactivity.

Abstract
ConspectusMetalloenzymes, which are proteins containing earth-abundant transition-metal ions as cofactors in the active site, generate various metal-oxygen intermediates via activating a dioxygen molecule (O2) to mediate vital metabolic functions, such as the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics and the biotransformation of naturally occurring molecules. By replicating the active sites of metalloenzymes, many bioinorganic chemists have studied the geometric and electronic properties and reactivities of model complexes to understand the nature of enzymatic intermediates and develop bioinspired metal catalysts. Among the reported model complexes, nonporphyrinic macrocyclic ligands are the predominant coordination system widely used in stabilizing and isolating diverse metal-oxygen intermediates, which allows us to extensively investigate the physicochemical characteristics of the analogs of reactive intermediates of metalloenzymes. In particular, it has been reported that the ring size of the macrocyclic ligands, defined by the number of atoms in the macrocyclic ring, drastically affects the identity of the metal-oxygen intermediate. Thus, systematic modification of the macrocyclic ligands has been a great subject being examined in various inorganic fields.In this Account, we describe synthetic advances of a macrocyclic ligand system by introducing pyridine donors into a 12-membered tetraazamacrocyclic ligand (12-TMC) that initially has 4 amine donors. Interestingly, the backbone of the pyridinophane ligand with 2 pyridine and 2 amine donors in a 12-membered ring is shown to be much more folded than in other macrocyclic ligands, thereby allowing the axial and equatorial donors to separately control the electronic structure of metal complexes. Then, we looked over independent electronic and steric effects on metal-oxygen species with thorough physicochemical analysis. The NiIII-peroxo complexes exhibit nucleophilic reactivity dependent on the steric hindrance of the second coordination sphere. Furthermore, the C-H bond strength of the second coordination sphere has also been an important factor in determining the stability of MnIV-bis(hydroxo) intermediates. Electronic tuning on CoIII-hydroperoxo intermediates results in a trend between the electron-donating abilities of para-substituents on pyridine in the pyridinophane ligand and electrophilic reactivities, from which mechanistic insights into the metal-hydroperoxo species have been gained. Importantly, the metal-oxygen intermediates supported by the pyridinophane ligand system have revealed quite challenging chemical reactions, including dioxygenase-like nitrile activation by CoIII-peroxo intermediates and the oxidation of aldehyde and aromatic compounds by manganese-oxygen intermediates. Based on the fine substitution of donors, we have addressed that those novel reactions originated from the unique framework of the pyridinophane system incorporating spin-crossover behavior and high redox potentials of the metal-oxygen intermediates. These results will be valuable for the structure-activity relationship of metal-oxygen intermediates, giving a better understanding on the enzymatic coordination system where amino acid ligands vary for specific chemical reactions.

Abstract
The hydroxylation of C-H bonds can be carried out by the high-valent CoIII,IV2(µ-O)2 complex 2a supported by the tetradentate tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand via a CoIII2(µ-O)(µ-OH) intermediate (3a). Complex 3a can be independently generated either by H-atom transfer (HAT) in the reaction of 2a with phenols as the H-atom donor or protonation of its conjugate base, the CoIII2(µ-O)2 complex 1a. Resonance Raman spectra of these three complexes reveal oxygen-isotope-sensitive vibrations at 560 to 590 cm-1 associated with the symmetric Co-O-Co stretching mode of the Co2O2 diamond core. Together with a Co•••Co distance of 2.78(2) Å previously identified for 1a and 2a by Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) analysis, these results provide solid evidence for their "diamond core" structural assignments. The independent generation of 3a allows us to investigate HAT reactions of 2a with phenols in detail, measure the redox potential and pKa of the system, and calculate the O-H bond strength (DO-H) of 3a to shed light on the C-H bond activation reactivity of 2a. Complex 3a is found to be able to transfer its hydroxyl ligand onto the trityl radical to form the hydroxylated product, representing a direct experimental observation of such a reaction by a dinuclear cobalt complex. Surprisingly, reactivity comparisons reveal 2a to be 106-fold more reactive in oxidizing hydrocarbon C-H bonds than corresponding FeIII,IV2(µ-O)2 and MnIII,IV2(µ-O)2 analogs, an unexpected outcome that raises the prospects for using CoIII,IV2(µ-O)2 species to oxidize alkane C-H bonds.

Abstract
Changes in the electronic structure of copper complexes can have a remarkable impact on the catalytic rates, selectivity, and overpotential of electrocatalytic reactions. We have investigated the effect of the half-wave potential (E1/2) of the CuII/CuI redox couples of four copper complexes with different pyridylalkylamine ligands. A linear relationship was found between E1/2 of the catalysts and the logarithm of the maximum rate constant of the reduction of O2 and H2O2. Computed binding constants of the binding of O2 to CuI, which is the rate-determining step of the oxygen reduction reaction, also correlate with E1/2. Higher catalytic rates were found for catalysts with more negative E1/2 values, while catalytic reactions with lower overpotentials were found for complexes with more positive E1/2 values. The reduction of O2 is more strongly affected by the E1/2 than the H2O2 rates, resulting in that the faster catalysts are prone to accumulate peroxide, while the catalysts operating with a low overpotential are set up to accommodate the 4-electron reduction to water. This work shows that the E1/2 is an important descriptor in copper-mediated O2 reduction and that producing hydrogen peroxide selectively close to its equilibrium potential at 0.68 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) may not be easy.

Abstract
We report herein the first nonheme CuFe oxygen reduction catalyst ([CuII (bpbp)(μ-OAc)2 FeIII ]2+ , CuFe-OAc), which serves as a functional model of cytochrome c oxidase and can catalyze oxygen reduction to water with a turnover frequency of 2.4×103 s-1 and selectivity of 96.0 % in the presence of Et3 NH+ . This performance significantly outcompetes its homobimetallic analogues (2.7 s-1 of CuCu-OAc with %H2 O2 selectivity of 98.9 %, and inactive of FeFe-OAc) under the same conditions. Structure-activity relationship studies, in combination with density functional theory calculation, show that the CuFe center efficiently mediates O-O bond cleavage via a CuII (μ-η1 : η2 -O2 )FeIII peroxo intermediate in which the peroxo ligand possesses distinctive coordinating and electronic character. Our work sheds light on the nature of Cu/Fe heterobimetallic cooperation in oxygen reduction catalysis and demonstrates the potential of this synergistic effect in the design of nonheme oxygen reduction catalysts.

Abstract
High-valent metal-fluoride complexes are currently being explored for concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) reactions, the driving force being the high bond dissociation energy of H-F (BDEH-F = 135 kcal/mol) that is formed after the reaction. Ni(III)-fluoride-based complexes on the pyridine dicarboxamide pincer ligand framework have been utilized for CPET reactions toward phenols and hydrocarbons. We have replaced the central pyridine ligand with an N-heterocyclic carbene carbene to probe its effect in both stabilizing the high-valent Ni(III) state and its ability to initiate CPET reactions. We report a monomeric carbene-diamide-based Ni(II)-fluoride pincer complex that was characterized through 1H/19F NMR, mass spectrometry, UV-vis, and X-ray crystallography analysis. Although carbenes and deprotonated carboxamides in the Ni(II)-fluoride complex are expected to stabilize the Ni(III) state upon oxidation, the Ni(III)/Ni(II) redox process occurred at very high potential (0.87 V vs Fc+/Fc, dichloromethane) and was irreversible. Structural studies indicate significant distortion in the imidazolium "NCN" carbene plane of Ni(II)-fluoride caused by the formation of six-membered metallacycles. The high-valent NiIII-fluoride analogue was synthesized by the addition of 1.0 equiv CTAN (ceric tetrabutylammonium nitrate) in dichloromethane at -20 °C which was characterized by UV-vis, mass spectrometry, and EPR spectroscopy. Density functional theory studies indicate that the Ni-carbene bond elongated, while the Ni-F bond shortened upon oxidation to the Ni(III) species. The high-valent Ni(III)-fluoride was found to react with the substituted phenols. Analysis of the KIE and linear free energy relationship correlates well with the CPET nature of the reaction. Preliminary analysis indicates that the CPET is asynchronous and is primarily driven by the E0' of the Ni(III)-fluoride complex.

Abstract
The tetradentate tripodal ligand scaffold is capable of supporting the expected geometries of the copper ion during the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis. As such, we probed the reactivity of copper complexes with these types of ligands by electronically and structurally tweaking the tris(pyridin 2-ylmethyl)amine (tmpa) scaffold by progressively replacing the terminal pyridines with carboxylate donors. This work shows that systems with one carboxylato donor (bpg = bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)glycine), (bpp = (3-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)propanoic acid)) are active in electrocatalyzing the homogeneous ORR under circumneutral aqueous conditions. Turnover frequencies in the range from 105 to 106 s-1, on par with that for Cu-tmpa under identical conditions, were obtained. It is noteworthy that the CuII/CuI redox potentials for the Cu-bpg, Cu-bpp, and Cu-tmpa systems in phosphate-buffered water (pH 7, under Ar) are similar at -0.409, -0.375, and -0.401 V vs Ag/AgCl, respectively. This is rationalized by the influence of the Lewis acidity of the copper ions on the water coligand. Corroborating this are pKa values for [Cu(tmpa)(H2O)]2+, Cu(bpg)(H2O)]+, and [Cu(bpp)(H2O)]+ of 6.6, 8.8, and 10.2, respectively. Thus, the overall charge of the solution species for all three complexes will be +1 at pH 7 and this will be an important determinant for the redox potentials and, in turn, the catalytic overpotentials, which are also similar. A cis carboxylato donor offers H-bonding possibilities for exogenous resting state water and intermediate hydroperoxo coligands. This is reflected by the higher pKa values for Cu-bpp and Cu-bpg compared with that for Cu-tmpa, with the Cu-bpp system furnishing the least strained H-bonding.

Abstract
Peroxo complexes are key intermediates in water oxidation catalysis (WOC). Cobalt plays an important role in WOC, either as oxides CoOx or as {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} complexes, which are the oldest peroxo complexes known. The oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} complexes had usually been described to form {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)CoIII} complexes; however, recently the formation of {CoIV(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} species were suggested. Using a bis(tetradentate) dinucleating ligand, we present here the synthesis and characterization of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} and {CoIII(μ-OH)2CoIII} complexes. Oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} at -40 °C in CH3CN provides the stable {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} species and activates electrophilic reactivity. Moreover, {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} catalyzes water oxidation, not molecularly but rather via CoOx films. While {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} can be reversibly deprotonated with DBU at -40 °C in CH3CN, {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} undergoes irreversible conversions upon reaction with bases to a new intermediate that is also the decay product of {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} in aqueous solution at pH > 2. Based on a combination of experimental methods, the new intermediate is proposed to have a {CoII(μ-OH)CoIII} core formed by the release of O2 from {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} confirmed by a 100% yield of O2 upon photocatalytic oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII}. This release of O2 by oxidation of a peroxo intermediate corresponds to the last step in molecular WOC.

Abstract
The "Histidine-brace" (His-brace) copper-binding site, composed of Cu(His)2 with a backbone amine, is found in metalloproteins with diverse functions. A primary example is lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), a class of enzymes that catalyze the oxidative depolymerization of polysaccharides, providing not only an energy source for native microorganisms but also a route to more effective industrial biomass conversion. Despite its importance, how the Cu His-brace site performs this unique and challenging oxidative depolymerization reaction remains to be understood. To answer this question, we have designed a biosynthetic model of LPMO by incorporating the Cu His-brace motif into azurin, an electron transfer protein. Spectroscopic studies, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance, confirm copper binding at the designed His-brace site. Moreover, the designed protein is catalytically active towards both cellulose and starch, the native substrates of LPMO, generating degraded oligosaccharides with multiturnovers by C1 oxidation. It also performs oxidative cleavage of the model substrate 4-nitrophenyl-D-glucopyranoside, achieving a turnover number ~9% of that of a native LPMO assayed under identical conditions. This work presents a rationally designed artificial metalloenzyme that acts as a structural and functional mimic of LPMO, which provides a promising system for understanding the role of the Cu His-brace site in LPMO activity and potential application in polysaccharide degradation.

Abstract
Cu-O2 structures play important roles in bioinorganic chemistry and enzyme catalysis, where the bonding between the Cu and O2 parts serves as a fundamental research concern. Here, we performed a multiconfigurational study on the copper L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of two copper enzyme model complexes to gain a better understanding of the antibonding nature from the clearly interpreted structure-spectroscopy relation. We obtained spectra in good agreement with the experiments by using the restricted active space second-order perturbation theory (RASPT2) method, which facilitated reliable chemical analysis. Spectral feature interpretations were supported by computing the spin-orbit natural transition orbitals. All major features were assigned to be mainly from Cu 2p to antibonding orbitals between Cu 3d and O2 π*, Cu 3d-πO-O* (type A), and a few also to mixed antibonding/bonding orbitals between Cu 3d and O2 π, Cu 3d ± πO-O (type M). Our calculations provided a clear illustration of the interactions between Cu 3d and O2 π*/π orbitals that are carried in the metal L-edge XAS.

Abstract
In this research, highly efficient heterogeneous bifunctional (BF) electrocatalysts (ECs) have been strategically designed by Fe coordination (CR ) complexes, [Fe2 L2 (H2 O)2 Cl2 ] (C1) and [Fe2 L2 (H2 O)2 (SO4 )].2(CH4 O) (C2) where the high seven CR number synergistically modifies the electronic environment of the Fe centre for facilitation of H2 O electrolysis. The electronic status of Fe and its adjacent atomic sites have been further modified by the replacement of -Cl- in C1 by -SO4 2- in C2. Interestingly, compared to C1, the O-S-O bridged C2 reveals superior BF activity with extremely low overpotential (η) at 10 mA cm-2 (140 mVOER , 62 mVHER ) and small Tafel slope (120.9 mV dec-1 OER , 45.8 mV dec-1 HER ). Additionally, C2 also facilitates a high-performance alkaline H2 O electrolyzer with cell voltage of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm-2 and exhibits remarkable long-term stability. Thus, exploration of the intrinsic properties of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based ECs opens up a new approach to the rational design of a wide range of molecular catalysts.

Abstract
Activating the C-H bonds of alkanes without further oxidation to more thermodynamically stable products, CO and CO2, is a long-sought goal of catalytic chemistry. Inspired by the monocopper active site of methane monooxygenase, we synthesized a Cu-doped ZIF-8 metal-organic framework with 25% Cu and 75% Zn in the nodes and activated it by heating to 200 °C and dosing in a stepwise fashion with O2, methane, and steam. We found that it does oxidize methane to methanol and formaldehyde. The catalysis persists through at least five cycles, and beyond the third cycle, the selectivity improves to the extent that no CO2 can be detected. Experimental characterization and analysis were carried out by PXRD, DRUV-vis, SEM, and XAS (XANES and EXAFS). The reaction is postulated to proceed at open-coordination copper sites generated by defects, and the mechanism of methanol production was explicated by density functional calculations with the revMO6-L exchange-correlation functional. The calculations reveal a catalytic cycle of oxygen-activated CuI involving the conversion of two molecules of CH4 to two molecules of CH3OH by a sequence of hydrogen atom transfer reactions and rebound steps. For most steps in the cycle, the reaction is more favored by singlet species than by triplets.

Abstract
A series of amine (1-6) and imine (5',6') based copper(II) complexes with tridentate (NNO) ligand donors were synthesized and characterized using modern analytical techniques. All the complexes were subjected to 2-aminophenol (OAP) oxidation to form 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one, as a functional analogue of an enzyme, phenoxazinone synthase. In addition, a critical comparison of the reactivity using the amine-based complexes with their respective imine counterparts was achieved in both experimental as well as theoretical studies. For instance, the kinetic measurement revealed that the imine-based copper(II) complexes (kcat, 2.4 × 105-6.2 × 106 h-1) are better than amine-based (kcat, 6.3 × 104-3.9 × 105 h-1) complexes. The complex-substrate adducts [Cu(L3)(OAP)] (7) and [Cu(L3')(OAP)] (7') were characterized for both systems by mass spectrometry. Further, the DFT study was performed with amine- (3) and imine- (3') based copper(II) complexes, to compare their efficacy in the oxidation of OAP. The mechanistic investigations reveal that the key elementary step to determine the reactivity of 3 and 3' is the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) step occurring from the intermediates 7/7'. Further, the computed HOMO-LUMO energy gap of 7' was smaller than 7 by 0.8 eV, which indicates the facile PCET compared to that of 7. Moreover, the coupling of the OAP moiety using imine-complexes (ΔGR.E = -5.8 kcal/mol) was found to be thermodynamically more favorable than amine complexes (ΔGR.E = +3.3 kcal/mol). Overall, the theoretical findings are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
High-valent metal species are often invoked as intermediates during enzymatic and synthetic catalytic cycles. Anionic donors are often required to stabilize such high-valent states by forming strong bonds with the Lewis acidic metal centers while decreasing their oxidation potentials. In this report, we discuss the synthesis of two high-valent metal complexes [ML]+ in which the NiIII and CuIII centers are ligated by a new tetradentate, tetraanionic bis(amidateanilido) ligand. [ML]+, obtained via chemical oxidation of ML, exhibits UV-vis-NIR, EPR, and XANES spectra characteristic of square planar, high-valent MIII species, suggesting the locus of oxidation for both [ML]+ is predominantly metal-based. This is supported by theoretical analyses, which also support the observed visible transitions as ligand-to-metal charge transfer transitions characteristic of square planar, high-valent MIII species. Notably, [ML]+ can also be obtained via O2 oxidation of ML due to its remarkably negative oxidation potentials (CuL/[CuL]+: -1.16 V, NiL/[NiL]+: -1.01 V vs Fc/Fc+ in MeCN). This demonstrates the exceptionally strong donating nature of the tetraanionic bis(amidateanilido) ligation and its ability to stabilize high-valent metal centers..

Abstract
We report the temperature-dependent spin switching of dicopper oxo nitrosyl [Cu2(O)(NO)]2+ complexes and their influence on hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Evans method analysis suggest that [Cu2(O)(NO)]2+ complexes transition from the S = 1/2 to the S = 3/2 state around ca. 202 K. At low temperatures (198 K) where S = 3/2 dominates, a strong correlation between the rate of HAT (kHAT) and the population of the S = 1/2 state was identified (R2 = 0.988), suggesting that the HAT by [Cu2(O)(NO)]2+ complexes proceeds by the S = 1/2 isomer. Installation of functional groups that introduce an unsymmetric secondary coordination environment accelerates the HAT rates through perturbation of the spin equilibria. Given the often unsymmetric coordination sphere of bimetallic active sites in natural proteins, we anticipate that similar strategies could be employed by metalloenzymes to control HAT reactions.

Abstract
In this Account, we overview and highlight synthetic bioinorganic chemistry focused on initial adducts formed from the reaction of reduced ligand-copper(I) coordination complexes with molecular oxygen, reactions that produce ligand-CuII(O2•-) complexes (O2•- ≡ superoxide anion). We provide mostly a historical perspective, starting in the Karlin research group in the 1980s, emphasizing the ligand design and ligand effects, structure, and spectroscopy of these O2 adducts and subsequent further reactivity with substrates, including the interaction with a second ligand-CuI complex to form binuclear species. The Account emphasizes the approach, evolution, and results obtained in the Karlin group, a synthetic bioinorganic research program inspired by the state of knowledge and insights obtained on enzymes possessing copper ion active sites which process molecular oxygen. These constitute an important biochemistry for all levels/types of organisms, bacteria, fungi, insects, and mammals, including humans.Copper is earth abundant, and its redox properties in complexes allow for facile CuII/CuI interconversions. Simple salts or coordination complexes have been well known to serve as oxidants for the stoichiometric or catalytic oxidation or oxygenation (i.e., O-atom insertion) of organic substrates. Thus, copper dioxygen- or peroxide-centered synthetic bioinorganic studies provide strong relevance and potential application to synthesis or even the development of cathodic catalysts for dioxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide or water, as in fuel cells. The Karlin group's focus however was primarily oriented toward bioinorganic chemistry with the goal to provide fundamental insights into the nature of copper-dioxygen adducts and further reduced and/or protonated derivatives, species likely occurring in enzyme turnover or related in one or more aspects of formation, structure, spectroscopic properties, and scope of reactivity toward organic/biochemical substrates.Prior to this time, the 1980s, O2 adducts of redox-active first-row transition-metal ions focused on iron, such as the porphyrinate-Fe centers occurring in the oxygen carrier proteins myoglobin and hemoglobin and that determined to occur in cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase turnover. Deoxy (i.e., reduced Fe(II)) heme proteins react with O2, giving FeIII-superoxo complexes (preferably referred to by traditional biochemists as ferrous-oxy species). And, it was in the 1970s that great strides were made by synthetic chemists in generating hemes capable of forming O2 adducts, their physiochemical characterization providing critical insights to enzyme (bio)chemistry and providing ideas and important goals leading to countless person years of future research.

Abstract
Heteroleptic copper complexes of an asymmetrical pincer ligand containing a central anionic sulfonamide donor (pyridine-2-yl-sulfonyl)(quinolin-8-yl)-amide (psq), which contains a central anionic sulfonamido donor have been prepared. Meridional κ3-N,N″,N‴ binding with the co-ligands acetate, chloride, or acetonitrile (MeCN), trans to the central sulfonamido N-donor, is revealed by the X-ray crystal structures of [Cu(OAc)(psq)(H2O)], [CuCl(psq)]2, and [Cu(psq)(MeCN)](PF6). Either overall distorted square pyramidal or octahedral geometries of the copper atom are satisfied by coordinated water in the case of the acetate complex or interactions with periphery sulfonamido oxygen atoms on adjacent molecules in the dimeric chloride and 1D polymeric acetonitrile complexes. The cyclic voltammogram (CV) of [Cu(OAc)(psq)(H2O)] shows a quasi-reversible CuII/CuI reduction at -0.930 V (vs Fc+/Fc0, MeCN), and an irreversible CuII/CuI reduction for [Cu(psq)(MeCN)](PF6) is seen at -0.838 V. This signal is split into two quasi-reversible redox processes on the addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). This suggests that TFE pushes a solution equilibrium toward a dimeric acetate complex analogous to [CuCl(psq)]2, which shows two quasi-reversible waves at -0.666 V and -0.904 V vs Fc+/Fc0 consistent with its dimeric solid-state structure. A comparison of the CVs of [Cu(OAc)(psq)(H2O)] under either a N2 or an O2 atmosphere revealed that this complex catalyzes turnover electro-reduction of O2 to H2O2 and H2O. The rate of reaction increases on addition of a weak organic acid, and a coulombic efficiency of 48% for H2O2 was determined by iodometric titration. We propose that a CuI complex formed on electroreduction binds O2 to yield an intermediate superoxide complex. On electron and proton transfer to this species, a bifurcated route back to the O2-activating CuI complex is feasible with either release of H2O2 or O-O cleavage resulting in the liberation of H2O. The CuI complex is regenerated by subsequent reduction and protonation to close the cycle.

Abstract
The scission of the O-O bond in O2 during respiration and the formation of the O-O bond during photosynthesis are the engines of aerobic life. Likewise, the reduction of O2 and the oxidation of reduced oxygen species to form O2 are indispensable components for emerging renewable technologies, including energy storage and conversion, yet discrete molecule-like systems that promote these fundamental reactions are rare. Herein, we report a square-planar tetramanganese cluster formed by self-assembly within a metal-organic framework that reversibly reduces O2 by four electrons, facilitating the interconversion between molecular O2 and metal-oxo species. The tetranuclear cluster spontaneously cleaves the O-O bond of O2 at room temperature to generate a tetramanganese-bis(μ2-oxo) species, which, in turn, is competent for O-O bond reformation and O2 evolution at elevated temperatures, enabled by the head-to-head orientation of two oxo species. This study demonstrates the viability of four-electron interconversion between molecular O2 and metal-oxo species and highlights the importance of site isolation for achieving multi-electron chemistry at polynuclear metal clusters.

Abstract
A protocol for a copper-catalyzed intermolecular cross-coupling cascade between 2-(2-bromoaryl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole analogues and proline or pipecolic acid has been developed. The developed protocol allows access to a variety of synthetically useful N-fused pyrrolo or pyrido[1,2-a]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline scaffolds with high efficiency and good functional group compatibility. Proline or pipecolic acid plays a dual role in the reaction: as ligand and reactants. A mechanistically consecutive approach for the Ullmann coupling, decarboxylation, oxidation, and dehydration reaction process was presented.

Abstract
The de novo design of artificial biocatalysts with enzyme-like active sites and catalytic functions has long been an attractive yet challenging goal. In this study, we present a nucleotide-Cu2+ complex, synthesized through a one-pot approach, capable of catalyzing ortho-hydroxylation reactions resembling those of minimalist monooxygenases. Both experimental and theoretical findings demonstrate that the catalyst, in which Cu2+ coordinates with both the nucleobase and phosphate moieties, forms a ternary-complex intermediate with H2O2 and tyramine substrates through multiple weak interactions. The subsequent electron transfer and hydrogen (or proton) transfer steps lead to the ortho-hydroxylation of tyramine, where the single copper center exhibits a similar function to natural dicopper sites. Moreover, Cu2+ bound to nucleotides or oligonucleotides exhibits thermophilic catalytic properties within the temperature range of 25 °C to 75 °C, while native enzymes are fully deactivated above 35 °C. This study may provide insights for the future design of oxidase-mimetic catalysts and serve as a guide for the design of primitive metallocentre-dependent enzymes.
