Abstract
Acetyl coenzyme A synthase (ACS) catalyzes the formation and deconstruction of the key biological metabolite, acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). The active site of ACS features a {NiNi} cluster bridged to a [Fe4S4]n+ cubane known as the A-cluster. The mechanism by which the A-cluster functions is debated, with few model complexes able to replicate the oxidation states, coordination features, or reactivity proposed in the catalytic cycle. In this work, we isolate the first bimetallic models of two hypothesized intermediates on the paramagnetic pathway of the ACS function. The heteroligated {Ni2+Ni1+} cluster, [K(12-crown-4)2][1], effectively replicates the coordination number and oxidation state of the proposed "Ared" state of the A-cluster. Addition of carbon monoxide to [1]- allows for isolation of a dinuclear {Ni2+Ni1+(CO)} complex, [K(12-crown-2)n][2] (n = 1-2), which bears similarity to the "ANiFeC" enzyme intermediate. Structural and electronic properties of each cluster are elucidated by X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, cyclic voltammetry, and UV/vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies, which are supplemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Calculations indicate that the pseudo-T-shaped geometry of the three-coordinate nickel in [1]- is more stable than the Y-conformation by 22 kcal mol-1, and that binding of CO to Ni1+ is barrierless and exergonic by 6 kcal mol-1. UV/vis absorption spectroscopy on [2]- in conjunction with time-dependent DFT calculations indicates that the square-planar nickel site is involved in electron transfer to the CO π*-orbital. Further, we demonstrate that [2]- promotes thioester synthesis in a reaction analogous to the production of acetyl coenzyme A by ACS.

[PMID: 39124875 PMCID: PMC11314292 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions are typically performed in organic solvents under inert and anhydrous conditions due to the involved air and water-sensitive nature of reactive intermediates. Overall, this study provides insights into the iron-based ([FeII(PBI)3](CF3SO3)2 (1), where PBI = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole), catalytic and stoichiometric aziridination of styrenes using PhINTs ([(N-tosylimino)iodo]benzene), highlighting the importance of reaction conditions including the effects of the solvent, co-ligands (para-substituted pyridines), and substrate substituents on the product yields, selectivity, and reaction kinetics. The aziridination reactions with 1/PhINTs showed higher conversion than epoxidation with 1/PhIO (iodosobenzene). However, the reaction with PhINTs was less selective and yielded more products, including styrene oxide, benzaldehyde, and 2-phenyl-1-tosylaziridine. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of water in the formation of oxygen-containing by-products during radical-type nitrene transfer catalysis. During the catalytic tests, a lower yield was obtained in a protic solvent (trifluoroethanol) than in acetonitrile. In the case of the catalytic oxidation of para-substituted styrenes containing electron-donating groups, higher yield, TON, and TOF were achieved than those with electron-withdrawing groups. Pseudo-first-order kinetics were observed for the stoichiometric oxidation, and the second-order rate constants (k2 = 7.16 × 10-3 M-1 s-1 in MeCN, 2.58 × 10-3 M-1 s-1 in CF3CH2OH) of the reaction were determined. The linear free energy relationships between the relative reaction rates (logkrel) and the total substituent effect (TE, 4R-PhCHCH2) parameters with slopes of 1.48 (MeCN) and 1.89 (CF3CH2OH) suggest that the stoichiometric aziridination of styrenes can be described through the formation of a radical intermediate in the rate-determining step. Styrene oxide formation during aqueous styrene aziridination most likely results from oxygen atom transfer via in situ iron oxo/oxyl radical complexes, which are formed through the hydrolysis of [FeIII(N•Ts)] under experimental conditions.

Abstract
Low-valent transition-metal diazenido species are important intermediates in transition-metal-mediated dinitrogen reduction reactions. Isolable complexes of the type unanimously feature closed-shell diazenido ligands. Those bearing open-shell diazenido ligands have remained elusive. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a d7 iron(I) complex featuring an open-shell silyldiazenido ligand, [(ICy)Fe(NNSiiPr3)(η2:η2-dvtms)] (1, ICy = 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazole-2-ylidene, dvtms = divinyltetramethyldisiloxane). Complex 1 is prepared in good yield by silylation of the iron(-I)-N2 complex [K(18-crown-6)][(ICy)Fe(N2)(η2:η2-dvtms)] with iPr3SiOTf and has been fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods. Theoretical studies, in combination with characterization data, established an S = 1/2 ground spin-state for 1 that can best be described as a quartet iron(I) center featuring an antiferromagnetically coupled triplet silyldiazenido ligand. The diazenido and alkene ligands in 1 are labile, as indicated by the facile disproportionation reaction of 1 at ambient temperature to transform into the iron(II) bis(diazenido) species [(ICy)(NNSiiPr3)2Fe(dvtms)Fe(NNSiiPr3)2(ICy)] (2) and the iron(0) species [(ICy)Fe(η2:η2-dvtms)] and also the alkene-exchange reaction of 1 with PhCH═CHBC8H14 to form [(ICy)Fe(NNSiiPr3)(η2-trans-PhCH═CHBC8H14)] (3). Complex 1 is light-sensitive. Upon photolysis, it undergoes a SiiPr3 radical-transfer reaction to yield [(ICy)Fe(σ:η2-MeCHSiMe2OSiMe2CH═CHSiiPr3)] (4) and N2. The reactions of 1 with the trityl radical and organic bromides yield iron(II) complexes, which indicates its reducing nature. Moreover, 1 is a weak hydrogen-atom abstractor, as indicated by its inertness toward HSi(SiMe3)3 and cyclohexa-1,4-diene and the low calculated N-H bond dissociation energy (48 kcal/mol) of its corresponding iron(II) iso-hydrazenido species.

Abstract
This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022. Although the field has a long and rich history, the chemistry of transition metalate anions has been greatly enhanced in the last 15 years by the application of advanced concepts in complex synthesis and ligand design. In recent years, the potential of highly reactive metalate complexes in the fields of small molecule activation and homogeneous catalysis has become increasingly evident. Consequently, exciting applications in small molecule activation have been developed, including in catalytic transformations. This article intends to guide the reader through the fascinating world of low-valent transition metalates. The first part of the review describes the synthesis and reactivity of d-block metalates stabilized by an assortment of ligand frameworks, including carbonyls, isocyanides, alkenes and polyarenes, phosphines and phosphorus heterocycles, amides, and redox-active nitrogen-based ligands. Thereby, the reader will be familiarized with the impact of different ligand types on the physical and chemical properties of metalates. In addition, ion-pairing interactions and metal-metal bonding may have a dramatic influence on metalate structures and reactivities. The complex ramifications of these effects are examined in a separate section. The second part of the review is devoted to the reactivity of the metalates toward small inorganic molecules such as H2, N2, CO, CO2, P4 and related species. It is shown that the use of highly electron-rich and reactive metalates in small molecule activation translates into impressive catalytic properties in the hydrogenation of organic molecules and the reduction of N2, CO, and CO2. The results discussed in this review illustrate that the potential of transition metalate anions is increasingly being tapped for challenging catalytic processes with relevance to organic synthesis and energy conversion. Therefore, it is hoped that this review will serve as a useful resource to inspire further developments in this dynamic research field.

Abstract
Copper plays many important roles in ethylene chemistry, thus generating significant interest in understanding the structures, bonding, and properties of copper(I)-ethylene complexes. In this work, the ethylene binding characteristics of a series of isolable Cu(I)-ethylene compounds supported by a systematic set of fluorinated and nonfluorinated bis- and tris(pyrazolyl)borate and the related bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands have been investigated. Through a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, we characterize their geometric and electronic structures and the role that fluorinated ligands play in lowering the electron density at Cu sites. Such ligands increase the ethylene-to-Cu σ-donor interaction and, correspondingly, decrease the Cu-to-ethylene π back-bonding. This latter interaction leads to a partial vacancy in the Cu 3d level, which manifests experimentally as a low-energy feature in the Cu K pre-edge, allowing for its direct observation and comparison within a series of Cu(I) compounds. The pre-edge feature is reproduced by TD-DFT calculations, and its energy position and total intensity are used to quantitatively probe Cu-ethylene bonding. The variations in the Cu electronic structure influence the stability and overall ethylene bonding strength of these compounds, ultimately showing how substituents on the supporting ligands have a notable effect on their physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
Lactic and formic acid are two commonly found monocarboxylic organic acids. Lactic acid is discharged into the water bodies as acidic industrial effluent from the food, cosmetic, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, whereas formic acid is discharged from various paper, leather tanning, and textile processing industries. The present study investigated the toxicity of both organic acids upon the benthic oligochaete worm Tubifex tubifex. The 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) values for lactic and formic acid are determined as 143.81 mg/l and 57.99 mg/l respectively. The effects of two sublethal concentrations (10% and 30% of 96 h LC50) of these acids on differential expression of oxidative stress enzymes are investigated. The comparative analysis of acute toxicity demonstrates that formic acid exposure is more detrimental to T. tubifex than lactic acid. The in silico structural analysis predicts that formic acid can interact with cytochrome c oxidase of the electron transport system and thereby inhibits its functionality and induces reactive oxygen species production. Integrated biomarker response (IBR) analysis illustrates that overall oxidative stress of formic acid to T. tubifex is significantly higher than that of lactic acid, which supports the structural analysis. It is concluded from this study that toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic and species sensitivity distributions studies are helpful for ecological risk management of environmental toxicants.

Abstract
Two Ni complexes are reported with κ4-P2N2 β-diimino (BDI) ligands with the general formula [Ni(XBDI)](BF4)2, where BDI is N-(2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)ethyl)-4-((2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)ethyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-amine and X indicates the substituent in the α-carbon intradiimine position, X = H for 1(BF4)2 and X = Ph for 2(BF4)2. Electrochemical analysis together with UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy in acetonitrile and dimethylformamide (DMF) indicates the conversion of the β-diimino complexes 12+ and 22+ to the negatively charged β-diketiminato (BDK) analogues (1-H)+ and (2-H)+ via deprotonation in DMF. Moreover, further electrochemical and spectroscopy evidence indicates that the one-electron-reduced derivatives 1+ and 2+ can also rapidly evolve to the BDK (1-H)+ and (2-H)+, respectively, via hydrogen gas evolution through a bimolecular homolytic pathway. Finally, both complexes are demonstrated to be active for the proton reduction reaction in DMF at Eapp = -1.8 V vs Fc+/0, being the active species the one-electron-reduced derivative 1-H and 2-H.

Abstract
ConspectusLow-valent, low-coordinate 3d metal complexes represent a class of extraordinarily reactive compounds that can act as reagents and catalysts for challenging bond-activation reactions. The pursuit of these electron-deficient metal complexes in low oxidation states demands ancillary ligands capable of providing not only energetic stabilization but also sufficiently high steric bulk at the metal center. From this perspective, pincer ligands are particularly advantageous, as their prearranged, meridional coordination mode scaffolds the active center while the substituents of the peripheral donor atoms provide effective steric shielding for the coordination sphere. In a T-shaped geometry, the transition metal complexes possess a precisely defined vacant coordination site, which, combined with the often observed high-spin electron configuration, exhibits unusually high selectivity of these compounds with respect to one-electron redox chemistry. In light of the intractable reaction pathways typically observed with related electronically unsaturated 3d transition metal complexes, the pincer coordination mode enables the isolation of low-valent compounds with more controlled and unique reactivity. We have thus investigated a series of T-shaped metal(I) complexes using three different types of pincer ligands, which may be regarded as "metalloradicals" due to their selectively exposed unpaired electrons.These compounds display remarkably high thermal stability and represent rarely observed "naked" monovalent metal species featuring both monomeric and dimeric structures. Extensive reactivity studies using various organic substrates highlight a strong tendency of these paramagnetic compounds to undergo one-electron oxidation, leading to the isolation of a plethora of metal(II) species with reduced organic ligands as unusual structural elements. The exploration of C2 symmetric T-shaped Ni(I) complexes as asymmetric catalysts also shows success in enantioselective hydrodehalogenation of geminal dihalogenides. In addition, this specific class of low-valent, low-coordinate complexes can be further diversified by introducing redox-active pincer ligands or building homobimetallic systems with two T-shaped units.This Account focuses on the discussion of selected examples of iron, cobalt, and nickel pincer complexes bearing a [P,N,P] or [N,N,N] donor set; however, their electronic structure and radical-type reactivity can be broadly extended to other pincer systems. The availability of various types of pincer ligands should allow fine-tuning of the reactivity of the T-shaped complexes. Given the unprecedented reactivity observed with these compounds, we expect the studies of T-shaped 3d metal complexes to be a fertile field for advancing base metal catalysis.

Abstract
![]()
A synthetic
study into the catalytic hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange
of 1° silanes, 2° silanes, and 3° siloxanes is presented,
facilitated by iron-β-diketiminato complexes (1a and 1b). Near-complete H/D exchange is observed for
a variety of aryl- and alkyl-containing hydrosilanes and hydrosiloxanes.
The reaction tolerates alternative hydride source pinacolborane (HBpin),
with quantitative H/D exchange. A synthetic and density functional
theory (DFT) investigation suggests that a monomeric iron-deuteride
is responsible for the H/D exchange.

Abstract
Complexation of π-conjugated ligands by metal or semimetal ions leads to the enhancement of the planarity and rigidity of π-conjugated systems. Boron, especially, has played a central role in the design of luminescent main-group complexes. However, these complexes still suffer the disadvantage of aggregation-caused quenching as well as typical organic fluorophores. It has recently been reported that some types of boron complexes exhibit the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. Moreover, AIE behavior from complexes and organometallic compounds composed of the other group 13 elements, such as aluminum and gallium, has emerged in this decade. These observations greatly encourage us to develop advanced functional materials based on the group 13 elements. Indeed, recent research has demonstrated that these classes of materials are potentially versatile scaffolds for constructing chromic luminophores, efficiently emissive π-conjugated polymers and so on. This review mainly describes AIE-active group 13 complexes with four-coordinate structures and their application as photo-functional materials. Proposed mechanisms of the origins of AIE behavior are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Highly reactive copper-dihydride clusters, [Cu15 (H)2 (S2 CNR2 )6 (C2 Ph)6 ](PF6 ) {R = n Bu (1H ), n Pr (2H ), i Bu (3H )}, are isolated during the reaction of [Cu28 H15 {S2 CNn Bu2 }12 ](PF6 ) with ten equivalents of phenylacetylene. They are found to be intermediates in the formation of the earlier reported two-electron superatom [Cu13 (S2 CNR2 )6 (C2 Ph)4 ]+ . Better yields are obtained by reacting dithiocarbamate sodium salts, [Cu(CH3 CN)4 ](PF6 ), BH4- and phenylacetylene. The presence of two hydrides in the isolated clusters is confirmed by the synthesis and characterization of its deuteride analogue [Cu15 (D)2 (S2 CNR2 )6 (C2 Ph)6 ]+ , and a single-crystal neutron structure of 2H . Structural characterization of 1H reveals a new bicapped icosahedral copper(I) cage encapsulating a linear copper dihydride (CuH2 )- unit. Reaction of 3H with Au(I) salts yields a highly luminescent [AuCu12 (S2 CNi Bu2 )6 (C2 Ph)4 ]+ cluster.

Abstract
Metalation of β-diketiminato rare-earth metal complexes LnacnacLn(PhNCH2PPh2)2 (Ln = Y, Yb, Lu) with (COD)Pd(CH2SiMe3)2 afforded three-coordinate Pd(0) complexes supported by two sterically less bulky phosphines and a Pd → Ln dative interaction. The Pd(0) center is prone to ligation with isonitrile and CO; in the latter case, the insertion of a second CO with the Y-N bond was assisted via a precoordination of CO on the Pd(0) center, which led to the formation of an anionic Pd(0) carbamoyl. The reaction of the Pd-Y complex with iodobenzene showed a remarkable double P-C bond cleavage-formation pathway within the heterobimetallic Pd-Y core to afford (Ph3P)2PdI(Ph), imine PhNCH2, and a β-diketiminato yttrium diiodide. In the related reaction of LnacnacY(PhNCH2PPh2)2 with (Ph3P)2PdI(Ph), the P-C bond cleavage following with a N-C bond formation was observed. Computational studies revealed a synergetic bimetallic mechanism for these reactions.

Abstract
The reactivity of a paramagnetic T-shaped cobalt(i) complex, [(iPrboxmi)Co], stabilised by a monoanionic bis(oxazolinylmethylidene)-isoindolate (boxmi) NNN pincer ligand is described. The exposure to carbon monoxide as an additional neutral ligand resulted in the square-planar species [(iPrboxmi)Co(CO)], accompanied by a change in the electronic spin state from S = 1 to S = 0. In contrast, upon treatment with trimethylphosphine the formation of the distorted tetrahedral complex [(iPrboxmi)Co(PMe3)] was observed (S = 1). Reacting [(iPrboxmi)Co] with iodine (I2), organic peroxides (tBu2O2, (SiMe3)2O2) and diphenyldisulphide (Ph2S2) yielded the tetracoordinated complexes [(iPrboxmi)CoI], [(iPrboxmi)Co(OtBu)], [(iPrboxmi)Co(OSiMe3)] and [(iPrboxmi)Co(SPh)], respectively, demonstrating the capability of the boxmi-supported cobalt(i) complex to homolytically cleave bonds and thus its distinct one-electron reactivity. Furthermore, a square-planar cobalt(ii) alkynyl complex [(iPrboxmi)Co(CCArF)] was identified as the main product in the reaction between [(iPrboxmi)Co] and a terminal alkyne, 4-fluoro-1-ethynylbenzene. Putting such species in the context of the previously investigated hydroboration catalysis, its stoichiometric reaction with pinacolborane revealed its potential conversion into a cobalt(ii) hydride complex, thus confirming its original attribution as off-cycle species.

Abstract
The electronic structure of a dimeric manganese hydride catalyst supported by β-diketiminate ligands, [(2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(μ-H)]2, was investigated with density functional theory. A triple bond between the manganese centres was anticipated from simple electron-counting rules; however, calculations revealed Mn-Mn Mayer bond orders of 0.21 and 0.27 for the ferromagnetically-coupled and antiferromagnetically-coupled extremes, respectively. In accordance with experimentally determined Heisenberg exchange coupling constants of -15 ± 0.1 cm-1 (SQUID) and -10.2 ± 0.7 cm-1 (EPR), the calculated J0 value of -10.9 cm-1 confirmed that the ground state involves antiferromagnetic coupling between high spin Mn(ii)-d5 centres. The effect of steric bulk on the bond order was examined via a model study with the least sterically-demanding version of the β-diketiminate ligand and was found to be negligible. Mixing between metal- and β-diketiminate-based orbitals was found to be responsible for the absence of a metal-metal multiple bond. The bridging hydrides give rise to a relatively close positioning of the metal centres, while bridging atoms possessing 2p orbitals result in longer Mn-Mn distances and more stable dimers. The synthesis and characterization of the bridging hydroxide variant, [(2,6-iPr2PhBDI)Mn(μ-OH)]2, provides experimental support for these assessments.

Abstract
A persistent challenge in chemistry is to activate abundant, yet inert molecules such as hydrocarbons and atmospheric N2. In particular, forming C–N bonds from N2 typically requires a reactive organic precursor1, which limits the ability to design catalytic cycles. Here, we report an diketiminate-supported iron system that is able to sequentially activate benzene and N2 to form aniline derivatives. The key to this new coupling reaction is the partial silylation of a reduced iron-N2 complex, which is followed by migratory insertion of a benzene-derived phenyl group to the nitrogen. Further reduction releases the nitrogen products, and the resulting iron species can re-enter the cyclic pathway. Using a mixture of sodium powder, crown ether, and trimethylsilyl bromide, an easily prepared diketiminate iron bromide complex2 can mediate the one-pot conversion of several petroleum-derived compounds into the corresponding silylated aniline derivatives using N2 as the nitrogen source. Numerous compounds along the cyclic pathway have been isolated and crystallographically characterized; their reactivity outlines the mechanism including the hydrocarbon activation step and the N2 functionalization step. This strategy incorporates nitrogen atoms from N2 directly into abundant hydrocarbons.

We report the first series of homoleptic phosphido iron complexes synthesized by treating either the β-diketiminato complex [(Dippnacnac)FeCl2Li(dme)2] (Dippnacnac = HC[(CMe)N(C6H3-2,6-iPr2)]2) or [FeBr2(thf)2] with an excess of phosphides R2PLi (R = tBu, tBuPh, Cy, iPr). Reaction outcomes depend strongly on the bulkiness of the phosphido ligands. The use of tBu2PLi precursor led to an anionic diiron complex 1 encompassing a planar Fe2P2 core with two bridging and two terminal phosphido ligands. An analogous reaction employing less sterically demanding phosphides, tBuPhPLi and Cy2PLi yielded diiron anionic complexes 2 and 3, respectively, featuring a short Fe-Fe interaction supported by three bridging phosphido groups and one additional terminal R2P- ligand at each iron center. Further tuning of the P-substrates bulkiness gave a neutral phosphido complex 4 possessing a tetrahedral Fe4 cluster core held together by six bridging iPr2P moieties. Moreover, we also describe the first homoleptic phosphanylphosphido iron complex 5, which features an iron center with low coordination provided by three tBu2P-P(SiMe3)- ligands. The structures of compounds 1-5 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and 1-3 by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, the electronic structures of 1-3 were interrogated using zero-field Mössbauer spectroscopy and DFT methods.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of high-valent molybdenum(VI) bis-imido complexes 1-4 with dipyrromethene (DPM) supporting ligands of the general formula (DPMR)Mo(NR')2Cl (R, R' = mesityl (Mes) or tert-butyl (tBu)). The electrochemical and chemical properties of 1-4 reveal unexpected ligand noninnocence and reactivity. 15N NMR spectroscopy is used to assess the electronic properties of the imido ligands in the tert-butyl complexes 1 and 3. Complex 1 is inert toward ligand (halide) exchange with bulky phenolates such as KOMes or amides (e.g., KN(SiMe3)2), whereas the use of the lithium alkyl LiCH2SiMe3 results in a rare nucleophilic β-alkylation of the DPM ligand. While the reductions of the complexes occur at molybdenum, the oxidation is centered at the DPM ligand. Quantum-chemical calculations (complete active space self-consistent field, density functional theory) suggest facile (near-infrared) interligand charge transfer to the imido ligand, which might preclude the isolation of the oxidized complex [1]+ in the experiment.

Abstract
A thermally stable, T-shaped, d7 high-spin iron(I) complex was obtained by reduction of a PNP-supported ferrous chloride. Paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy combined with DFT modeling was used to analyze the electronic structure of the coordinatively highly unsaturated complex. The metalloradical character of the compound was demonstrated by the formation of a benzophenone ketyl radical complex upon addition of benzophenone. Furthermore, the compound displays a rich chemistry as an oxygen-atom abstractor from epoxides, yielding a dinuclear, diferrous [Fe2 O] complex.

Abstract
Selective functionalization of C-H bonds provides a straightforward approach to a large variety of well-defined derivatives. High-valent mononuclear iron(IV)-oxo complexes are proposed to carry out these C-H activation reactions in enzymes or in biomimetic syntheses. In this Minireview, we aim to highlight the features that delineate the distinct reactivity of non-heme oxo-iron(IV) motifs to cleave strong C-H bonds in hydrocarbons, primarily focusing on the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process. We describe how the structural and electronic properties of supporting ligands modulate the oxidative property of the iron(IV)-oxo complexes. Furthermore, we highlight the decisive role played by spin-state in these biomimetic reactions. We also discuss how tunneling and external perturbations like electric field influence the transfer of hydrogen atoms. Lastly, we emphasize how computations could work as a practical guide to sketch and develop synthetic models with greater efficacy.

Abstract
Low-coordinate transition-metal species, i.e., metal species with coordination numbers of less than 4, represent a category of ubiquitous reactive intermediates in metal-catalyzed reactions that take place in solution, in metalloenzymes, on supported nanomaterials and single-atom catalysts, and so on. While reactive intermediates are usually transient and hard to isolate, which makes detailed investigation challenging, molecular representatives of low-coordinate transition-metal intermediates can be synthesized by the judicious use of supporting ligands, allowing detailed study of their inherent chemical and physical properties. By the use of bulky nitrogen- and oxygen-based anionic ligands, plenty of three- and two-coordinate group 4-10 metal complexes with the oxidation states of the metal centers being +3, + 2, and +1 have been prepared and subjected to extensive study. Much less known are low-coordinate zero-valent metal complexes, and knowledge about them had been restricted to group 10 metal complexes until very recently. In this Account, we summarize the studies of the synthesis, spectroscopic features, electronic structures, and reactivities of three-coordinate formal cobalt(0), iron(0), and manganese(0) complexes with persistent carbene and alkene ligation. The introduction of the π-accepting alkene ligands 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (dvtms) and vinyltrimethylsilane (vtms) into the reduction reactions of MCl2 (M = Co, Fe, Mn) with persistent carbenes and alkaline metals effectively suppresses ligand C-H bond activation reactions, leading to the successful preparation of three-coordinate formal cobalt(0), iron(0), and manganese(0) complexes LM(η2:η2-dvtms), LM(η2-vtms)2, and L2M(η2-vtms) (M = Co, Fe, Mn; L = N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (cAAC)). These three-coordinate metal complexes feature pronounced back-donation from the filled metal 3d orbitals to the alkene π* orbital(s), resulting in electronic configurations of (dxy+πalkene*)2(dx2-y2+π'alkene*)2(dz2,dxz,dyz)n (the coordination plane was chosen as the xy plane; n = 5, 4, and 3 for Co, Fe, and Mn, respectively) for the bis(alkene) complexes LM(η2:η2-dvtms) and LM(η2-vtms)2. The alkene ligands in the low-coordinate formal zero-valent metal complexes are amenable to undergo ligand-exchange reactions with better π-accepting ligands. In reactions with organic azides, hydrosilanes, nitrosoarenes, alkynes, etc., the alkene ligands dissociate from the metal coordination sphere, and three-coordinate formal zero-valent metal complexes function as synthons of LnM0 (L = NHC, cAAC; n = 1, 2; M = Co, Fe, Mn) to perform redox reactions with these substrates, affording divalent and tetravalent cobalt, iron, or manganese complexes. These electronic structure and reactivity features hint at the potential of low-coordinate zero-valent group 7-9 metal complexes for the development of new 3d metal catalysts and magnetic materials.

Abstract
We report the first Fe─CPh3 complex, and show that the long Fe─C bond can be disrupted by neutral π-acceptor ligands (benzophenone and phenylacetylene) to release the triphenylmethyl radical. The products are formally iron(I) complexes, but X-ray absorption spectroscopy coupled with density functional and multireference ab initio calculations indicates that the best description of all the complexes is iron(II). In the formally iron(I) complexes, this does not imply that the π-acceptor ligand has radical character, because the iron(II) description arises from doubly-occupied frontier molecular orbitals that are shared equitably by the iron and the π-acceptor ligand, and the unpaired electrons lie on the metal. Despite the lack of substantial radical character on the ligands, alkyne and ketone fragments can couple to form a high-spin iron(III) complex with a cyclized metalladihydrofuran core.

Abstract
Iron-sulfur clusters are emerging as reactive sites for the reduction of small-molecule substrates. However, the four-coordinate iron sites of typical iron-sulfur clusters rarely react with substrates, implicating three-coordinate iron. This idea is untested because fully sulfide-coordinated three-coordinate iron is unprecedented. Here we report a new type of [4Fe-3S] cluster featuring an iron center with three bonds to sulfides. Although a high-spin electronic configuration is characteristic of other iron-sulfur clusters, the planar geometry and short Fe–S bonds lead to a surprising low-spin electronic configuration at the three-coordinate Fe center as determined by spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. In a demonstration of biomimetic reactivity, the [4Fe-3S] cluster reduces hydrazine, a natural substrate of nitrogenase. The product is the first example of NH2 bound to an iron-sulfur cluster. Our results demonstrate that three-coordinate iron supported by sulfide donors is a plausible precursor to reactivity in iron-sulfur clusters like the FeMoco of nitrogenase.

Abstract
![]()
Iron
terminal imido species are typically implicated as reaction intermediates
in iron-catalyzed transformations. While a large body of work has
been devoted to mid- and high-valent iron imidos, to date the chemistry
of iron(II) imidos has remained largely unexplored due to the difficulty
in accessing them. Herein, we present a study on the two-coordinate
iron(II) imido complex [(IPr)Fe(NArTrip)] (3; IPr = 1,3-bis(2′,6′-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene;
ArTrip = 2,6-bis(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl)
prepared from the reaction of an iron(0) complex with the bulky azide
ArTripN3. Spectroscopic investigations in combination
with DFT calculations established a high-spin S =
2 ground spin state for 3, consistent with its long Fe–N
multiple bond of 1.715(2) Å revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
Complex 3 exhibits unusual activity of nitrene transfer
and C–H bond activation in comparison to the reported iron
imido complexes. Specifically, the reactions of 3 with
CH2=CHArCF3, an electron-deficient alkene,
and CO, a strong π acid, readily afford nitrene transfer products,
ArCF3CH=CHNHArTrip and ArTripNCO, respectively, yet no similar reaction occurs when 3 is treated with electron-rich alkenes and PMe3. Moreover, 3 is inert toward the weak C(sp3)–H bonds
in 1,4-cyclohexadiene, THF, and toluene, whereas it can cleave the
stronger C(sp)–H bond in p-trifluoromethylphenylacetylene
to form an iron(II) amido alkynyl complex. Interestingly, intramolecular
C(sp3)–H bond functionalization was observed by
adding (p-Tol)2CN2 to 3. The unique reactivity of 3 is attributed to
its low-coordinate nature and the high negative charge population
on the imido N atom, which render its iron–imido unit nucleophilic
in nature. The two-coordinate iron(II)
imido complex (IPr)Fe(NArTrip) (3) exhibits
a high-spin ground state (S = 2) and was found to
be reactive toward electron-deficient alkene, diazo compounds, terminal
alkyne, et al., in which diversified reactivities of nitrene transfer,
C−H bond activation, and C−N bond formation have been
observed. The reactivity pattern reflects the nucleophilic nature
of the imido moiety of the high-spin iron(II) complex.

Abstract
Schiff base diethyl 4,4-(pentane-2,4-diylidenebis(azanylylidene))benzoate (1) as a new ligand (L) was prepared by the reaction of acetylacetone with benzocaine in the ratio of 1 : 1. Two transition-metal complexes, [Ni(II)(LCl(HOEt))] (2) and [Zn(II)(LCl(HOEt))] (3), have been synthesized from metal salts with didentate Schiff base ligand (L) and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR UV-Vis spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility. The biological activity of the complexes was studied. In addition, the M06-2x density function theory method and the 6-31G(d) basic set were applied to determine the optimized structures of 1–3 and to determine their IR and 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra theoretically. The data are in good agreement with the experimental results. The geometries of complexes 2 and 3 were determined to be square-planar for 2 and tetrahedral for 3.
