Abstract
The diiron active site is pivotal in catalyzing transformations in both biological and chemical systems. Recently, a range of biomimetic diiron catalysts have been synthesized, drawing inspiration from the active architecture of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO). These catalysts have been successfully deployed for the dehydrogenation of indolines, marking a significant advancement in the field. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have identified a novel mechanistic pathway that governs the dehydrogenation of indolines catalyzed by a biomimetic diiron complex. Specifically, this reaction is facilitated by the transfer of a hybrid atom from the C1 position of the substrate to the distal oxygen atom of the Fe(III)Fe(III)-1,1-μ-hydroperoxy active species. This transfer serves as the rate-limiting step for the heterolytic cleavage of the OO bond, ultimately generating the substrate cation. The mechanism we propose aligns well with mechanistic investigations incorporating both kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements and evaluations of stereochemical selectivity. This research contributes to the broader scientific understanding of catalysis involving biomimetic diiron complexes and offers valuable insights into the catalytic behaviors of non-heme diiron metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Bridged dinuclear metal complexes have fascinated scientists worldwide, and remarkable success has been achieved to unravel the electronic structures, structure-function relationship, coordination environments, and fine mechanistic details of the enzymes owing to the repercussion of biomimetic studies carried out on dinuclear model systems. Molecular level study of these systems integrated with spectroscopic study helps in gaining deep insights about structural and electronic aspects of natural enzymatic systems. Considering the same, here first time we report DFT study on bridged non-heme metal complexes based on N-Et-HPTB ligand system containing homovalent (MIIMII); {[(MnII)2(O2CCH3)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species I), [(FeII)2(O2CCH3)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species II), [(CoII)2(O2CCH3)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species III)} and heterovalent (MIIIMII): {[(MnIII)(MnII)(O2)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species Ia) [(FeIII)(FeII)(O2)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species IIa) and [(CoIII)(CoII)(O2)(N-Et-HPTB)]2+; Species IIIa)} dinuclear metal centres. Bridging oxygen bears a significant spin density which may prompt important chemical reactions involving activation of bonds like C-H/O-H/N-H etc. TD-DFT calculations for UV-Visible absorption have been carried out to further shed light on structural-functional and electronic structures of these dinuclear species. Studying these dinuclear species may be a good starting point for the study of active sites of the bimetallic centre of dinuclear enzymes and thus may serve as fascinating spectroscopic models. Further, FMO analysis, MEP mapping, and NBO calculations were employed to analyze bonding aspects predict theoretical reactivity behaviour and any kind of stabilizing interactions present in the reported species.

Abstract
Traditionally, the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins was thought to exclusively use a diiron active site in catalyzing a diverse array of oxygen-dependent reactions. In recent years, novel redox-active cofactors featuring heterobimetallic Mn/Fe active sites have been discovered in both the radical-generating R2 subunit of class Ic (R2c) ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) and the related R2-like ligand-binding oxidases (R2lox). However, the protein-specific factors that differentiate the radical reactivity of R2c from the C-H activation reactions of R2lox remain unknown. In this work, multifrequency pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and ligand hyperfine techniques in conjunction with broken-symmetry density functional theory calculations are used to characterize the molecular and electronic structures of two EPR-active intermediates trapped during aerobic assembly of the R2lox Mn/Fe cofactor. A MnIII(μ-O)(μ-OH)FeIII species is identified as the first EPR-active species and represents a common state between the two classes of redox-active Mn/Fe proteins. The species downstream from the MnIII(μ-O)(μ-OH)FeIII state exhibits unique EPR properties, including unprecedented spectral breadth and isotope-dependent g-tensors, which are attributed to a weakly coupled, hydrogen-bonded MnIII(μ-OH)FeIII species. This final intermediate precedes formation of the MnIII/FeIII resting state and is suggested to be relevant to understanding the endogenous reactivity of R2lox.

Abstract
The elucidation of magnetostructural correlations between bridging ligand substitution and strength of magnetic coupling is essential to the development of high-temperature molecule-based magnetic materials. Toward this end, we report the series of tetraoxolene-bridged FeII2 complexes [(Me3TPyA)2Fe2(RL)]n+ (Me3TPyA = tris(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine; n = 2: OMeLH2 = 3,6-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone, ClLH2 = 3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone, Na2[NO2L] = sodium 3,6-dinitro-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone; n = 4: SMe2L = 3,6-bis(dimethylsulfonium)-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone diylide) and their one-electron-reduced analogues. Variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility data reveal the presence of weak ferromagnetic superexchange between FeII centers in the oxidized species, with exchange constants of J = +1.2(2) (R = OMe, Cl) and +0.3(1) (R = NO2, SMe2) cm-1. In contrast, X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy establish a ligand-centered radical in the reduced complexes. Magnetic measurements for the radical-bridged species reveal the presence of strong antiferromagnetic metal-radical coupling, with J = -57(10), -60(7), -58(6), and -65(8) cm-1 for R = OMe, Cl, NO2, and SMe2, respectively. The minimal effects of substituents in the 3- and 6-positions of RLx-• on the magnetic coupling strength is understood through electronic structure calculations, which show negligible spin density on the substituents and associated C atoms of the ring. Finally, the radical-bridged complexes are single-molecule magnets, with relaxation barriers of Ueff = 50(1), 41(1), 38(1), and 33(1) cm-1 for R = OMe, Cl, NO2, and SMe2, respectively. Taken together, these results provide the first examination of how bridging ligand substitution influences magnetic coupling in semiquinoid-bridged compounds, and they establish design criteria for the synthesis of semiquinoid-based molecules and materials.

Abstract
The gene encoding the cyanobacterial ferritin SynFtn is up-regulated in response to copper stress. Here, we show that, while SynFtn does not interact directly with copper, it is highly unusual in several ways. First, its catalytic diiron ferroxidase center is unlike those of all other characterized prokaryotic ferritins and instead resembles an animal H-chain ferritin center. Second, as demonstrated by kinetic, spectroscopic, and high-resolution X-ray crystallographic data, reaction of O2 with the di-Fe2+ center results in a direct, one-electron oxidation to a mixed-valent Fe2+/Fe3+ form. Iron-O2 chemistry of this type is currently unknown among the growing family of proteins that bind a diiron site within a four α-helical bundle in general and ferritins in particular. The mixed-valent form, which slowly oxidized to the more usual di-Fe3+ form, is an intermediate that is continually generated during mineralization. Peroxide, rather than superoxide, is shown to be the product of O2 reduction, implying that ferroxidase centers function in pairs via long-range electron transfer through the protein resulting in reduction of O2 bound at only one of the centers. We show that electron transfer is mediated by the transient formation of a radical on Tyr40, which lies ∼4 Å from the diiron center. As well as demonstrating an expansion of the iron-O2 chemistry known to occur in nature, these data are also highly relevant to the question of whether all ferritins mineralize iron via a common mechanism, providing unequivocal proof that they do not.

Abstract
Thermodynamic and spectroscopic data of exchange-coupled molecular spin clusters (e.g. single-molecule magnets) are routinely interpreted in terms of two different models: the many-spin Hamiltonian (MSH) explicitly considers couplings between individual spin centers, while the giant-spin Hamiltonian (GSH) treats the system as a single collective spin. When isotropic exchange coupling is weak, the physical compatibility between both spin Hamiltonian models becomes a serious concern, due to mixing of spin multiplets by local zero-field splitting (ZFS) interactions ('S-mixing'). Until now, this effect, which makes the mapping MSH→GSH ('spin projection') non-trivial, had only been treated perturbationally (up to third order), with obvious limitations. Here, based on exact diagonalization of the MSH, canonical effective Hamiltonian theory is applied to construct a GSH that exactly matches the energies of the relevant (2S+1) states comprising an effective spin multiplet. For comparison, a recently developed strategy for the unique derivation of effective ('pseudospin') Hamiltonians, now routinely employed in ab initio calculations of mononuclear systems, is adapted to the problem of spin projection. Expansion of the zero-field Hamiltonian and the magnetic moment in terms of irreducible tensor operators (or Stevens operators) yields terms of all ranks k (up to k=2S) in the effective spin. Calculations employing published MSH parameters illustrate exact spin projection for the well-investigated [Ni(hmp)(dmb)Cl]4 ('Ni4 ') single-molecule magnet, which displays weak isotropic exchange (dmb=3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol, hmp- is the anion of 2-hydroxymethylpyridine). The performance of the resulting GSH in finite field is assessed in terms of EPR resonances and diabolical points. The large tunnel splitting in the M=± 4 ground doublet of the S=4 multiplet, responsible for fast tunneling in Ni4 , is attributed to a Stevens operator with eightfold rotational symmetry, marking the first quantification of a k=8 term in a spin cluster. The unique and exact mapping MSH→GSH should be of general importance for weakly-coupled systems; it represents a mandatory ultimate step for comparing theoretical predictions (e.g. from quantum-chemical calculations) to ZFS, hyperfine or g-tensors from spectral fittings.

Abstract
A general giant-spin Hamiltonian (GSH) describing an effective spin multiplet of an exchange-coupled metal cluster with dominant Heisenberg interactions was derived from a many-spin Hamiltonian (MSH) by treating anisotropic interactions at the third order of perturbation theory. Going beyond the existing second-order perturbation treatment allows irreducible tensor operators of rank six (or corresponding Stevens operator equivalents) in the GSH to be obtained. Such terms were found to be of crucial importance for the fitting of high-field EPR spectra of a number of single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Also, recent magnetization measurements on trigonal and tetragonal SMMs have found the inclusion of such high-rank axial and transverse terms to be necessary to account for experimental data in terms of giant-spin models. While mixing of spin multiplets by local zero-field splitting interactions was identified as the major origin of these contributions to the GSH, a direct and efficient microscopic explanation had been lacking. The third-order approach developed in this work is used to illustrate the mapping of an MSH onto a GSH for an S=6 trigonal Fe3 Cr complex that was recently investigated by high-field EPR spectroscopy. Comparisons between MSH and GSH consider the simulation of EPR data with both Hamiltonians, as well as locations of diabolical points (conical intersections) in magnetic-field space. The results question the ability of present high-field EPR techniques to determine high-rank zero-field splitting terms uniquely, and lead to a revision of the experimental GSH parameters of the Fe3 Cr SMM. Indeed, a bidirectional mapping between MSH and GSH effectively constrains the number of free parameters in the GSH. This notion may in the future facilitate spectral fitting for highly symmetric SMMs.

Abstract
New facile methods to prepare iron sulphur halide clusters [Fe4S4X4](2-) from [Fe(CO)5] and elemental sulphur were elaborated. Reactions of ferrous precursors like tetrahalidoferrates(ii) or simple ferrous halides with [Fe(CO)5] and sulphur turned out to be efficient methods to prepare homoleptic [Fe4S4X4](2-) (X = Cl, Br) and heteroleptic clusters [Fe4S4X4-nYn](2-) (X = Cl, Br; Y = Br, I). Solid materials were obtained as salts of BTMA(+) (= benzyltrimethylammonium); the new compounds containing [Fe4S4Br4](2-) and [Fe4S4X2Y2](2-) (X, Y = Cl, Br, I) were all isostructural to (BTMA)2[Fe4S4I4] (monoclinic, Cc) as inferred from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. While the solid materials contain defined heteroleptic clusters with a halide X : Y ratio of 2 : 2, dissolving these compounds leads to rapid scrambling of the halide ligands forming mixtures of all five possible [Fe4S4X4-nYn](2-) clusters as could be shown by UHR-ESI MS. The variation of X and Y allowed assignment of the absorption bands in the visible and NIR; the long-wavelength bands around 1100 nm were tentatively assigned to intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) transitions.

Abstract
The ability of tetraazalene radical bridging ligands to mediate exceptionally strong magnetic exchange coupling across a range of transition metal complexes is demonstrated. The redox-active bridging ligand N,N',N'',N'''-tetra(2-methylphenyl)-2,5-diamino-1,4-diiminobenzoquinone (NMePhLH2) was metalated to give the series of dinuclear complexes [(TPyA)2M2(NMePhL2-)]2+ (TPyA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, M = MnII, FeII, CoII). Variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility data for these complexes reveal the presence of weak superexchange interactions between metal centers, and fits to the data provide coupling constants of J = -1.64(1) and -2.16(2) cm-1 for M = MnII and FeII, respectively. One-electron reduction of the complexes affords the reduced analogues [(TPyA)2M2(NMePhL3-˙)]+. Following a slightly different synthetic procedure, the related complex [(TPyA)2CrIII2(NMePhL3-˙)]3+ was obtained. X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy indicate the presence of radical NMePhL3-˙ bridging ligands in these complexes. Variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility data of the radical-bridged species reveal the presence of strong magnetic interactions between metal centers and ligand radicals, with simulations to data providing exchange constants of J = -626(7), -157(7), -307(9), and -396(16) cm-1 for M = CrIII, MnII, FeII, and CoII, respectively. Moreover, the strength of magnetic exchange in the radical-bridged complexes increases linearly with decreasing M-L bond distance in the oxidized analogues. Finally, ac magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that [(TPyA)2Fe2(NMePhL3-˙)]+ behaves as a single-molecule magnet with a relaxation barrier of Ueff = 52(1) cm-1. These results highlight the ability of redox-active tetraazalene bridging ligands to enable dramatic enhancement of magnetic exchange coupling upon redox chemistry and provide a rare opportunity to examine metal-radical coupling trends across a transmetallic series of complexes.

Abstract
A new, DMF-coordinated, preorganized diiron compound [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(DMF)4](BF4)3 (1) was synthesized, avoiding the formation of [Fe(N-Et-HPTB)](BF4)2 (10) and [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(μ-MeCONH)](BF4)2 (11), where N-Et-HPTB is the anion of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[2-(1-ethylbenzimidazolyl)]-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane. Compound 1 is a versatile reactant from which nine new compounds have been generated. Transformations include solvent exchange to yield [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(MeCN)4](BF4)3 (2), substitution to afford [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(μ-RCOO)](BF4)2 (3, R = Ph; 4, RCOO = 4-methyl-2,6-diphenyl benzoate]), one-electron oxidation by (Cp2Fe)(BF4) to yield a Robin-Day class II mixed-valent diiron(II,III) compound, [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(μ-PhCOO)(DMF)2](BF4)3 (5), two-electron oxidation with tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate to generate [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)Cl3(DMF)](BF4)2 (6), reaction with (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl to form [Fe5(N-Et-HPTB)2(μ-OH)4(μ-O)(DMF)2](BF4)4 (7), and reaction with dioxygen to yield an unstable peroxo compound that decomposes at room temperature to generate [Fe4(N-Et-HPTB)2(μ-O)3(H2O)2](BF4)·8DMF (8) and [Fe4(N-Et-HPTB)2(μ-O)4](BF4)2 (9). Compound 5 loses its bridging benzoate ligand upon further oxidation to form [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(OH)2(DMF)2](BF4)3 (12). Reaction of the diiron(II,III) compound 5 with dioxygen was studied in detail by spectroscopic methods. All compounds (1-12) were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determinations. Selected compounds and reaction intermediates were further examined by a combination of elemental analysis, electronic absorption spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract
The heterodinuclear complexes [Fe(III)Mn(II)(L-Bn)(μ-OAc)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (1) and [Fe(II)Mn(II)(L-Bn)(μ-OAc)(2)](ClO(4)) (2) with the unsymmetrical dinucleating ligand HL-Bn {[2-bis[(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]]-6-[benzyl-2-(pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol} were synthesized and characterized as biologically relevant models of the new Fe/Mn class of nonheme enzymes. Crystallographic studies have been completed on compound 1 and reveal an Fe(III)Mn(II)μ-phenoxobis(μ-carboxylato) core. A single location of the Fe(III) ion in 1 and of the Fe(II) ion in 2 was demonstrated by Mössbauer and (1)H NMR spectroscopies, respectively. An investigation of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of 1 revealed a moderate antiferromagnetic interaction (J = 20 cm(-1)) between the high-spin Fe(III) and Mn(II) ions in 1, which was confirmed by Mössbauer and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. The electrochemical properties of complex 1 are described. A quasireversible electron transfer at -40 mV versus Ag/AgCl corresponding to the Fe(III)Mn(II)/Fe(II)Mn(II) couple appears in the cyclic voltammogram. Thorough investigations of the Mössbauer and EPR signatures of complex 2 were performed. The analysis allowed evidencing of a weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J = 5.72 cm(-1)) within the Fe(II)Mn(II) pair consistent with that deduced from magnetic susceptibility measurements (J = 6.8 cm(-1)). Owing to the similar value of the Fe(II) zero-field splitting (D(Fe) = 3.55 cm(-1)), the usual treatment within the strong exchange limit was precluded and a full analysis of the electronic structure of the ground state of complex 2 was developed. This situation is reminiscent of that found in many diiron and iron-manganese enzyme active sites.
