Abstract
The reaction of 2,4-tBu2-6-(PPh2)PhOH (HOArP) with silver(I) triflate in a 3:1 molar ratio gave the mononuclear coinage metal complex (HOArP-κP)3AgIOTf (1). Treatment of HOArP with LnIII[N(SiMe3)2]3 (Ln = La, Sm, Y, Yb) in a 3:1 molar ratio yielded the mononuclear rare-earth metal complexes LnIII(OArP-κ2O,P)3 (2-Ln). The heterobimetallic rare-earth metal-silver complexes LnIII(OTf)(μ-OArP-1κ1O,2κ1P)3AgI (3-Ln) were prepared from monometallic precursors by reactions of equimolar amounts of 1 with LnIII[N(SiMe3)2]3 or 2-Ln with silver(I) triflate, respectively. The compounds were characterized by NMR, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and the effective magnetic moments of the paramagnetic complexes were determined via the Evans NMR method. Computational studies were conducted on 3-La and 3-Y.

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
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.
