J Inorg Biochem 2024; 255:112543. [PMID: 38554579 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112543] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024]
Abstract
Acetylene hydratase is currently the only known mononuclear tungstoenzyme that does not catalyze a net redox reaction. The conversion of acetylene to acetaldehyde is proposed to occur at a W(IV) active site through first-sphere coordination of the acetylene substrate. To date, a handful of tungsten complexes have been shown to bind acetylene, but many lack the bis(dithiolene) motif of the native enzyme. The model compound, [W(O)(mnt)2]2-, where mnt2- is 1,2-dicyano-1,2-dithiolate, was previously reported to bind an electrophilic acetylene substrate, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, potentiometry, and mass spectrometry (Yadav, J; Das, S. K.; Sarkar, S., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1997, 119, 4316-4317). By slightly changing the electrophilic acetylene substrate, an acetylenic-bis(dithiolene)‑tungsten(IV) complex has been isolated and characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Activation parameters for complex formation were also determined and suggest coordination-sphere reorganization is a limiting factor in the model complex reactivity.

Abstract
Atomically defined large metal clusters have applications in new reaction development and preparation of materials with tailored properties. Expanding the synthetic toolbox for reactive high nuclearity metal complexes, we report a new class of Fe clusters, Tp*4 W4 Fe13 S12 , displaying a Fe13 core with M-M bonds that has precedent only in main group and late metal chemistry. M13 clusters with closed shell electron configurations can show significant stability and have been classified as superatoms. In contrast, Tp*4 W4 Fe13 S12 displays a large spin ground state of S=13. This compound performs small molecule activations involving the transfer of up to 12 electrons resulting in significant cluster rearrangements.

Abstract
The control of metal-sugar complexes speciation in solution is crucial in an energy transition context. Herein, the formation of tungstate-mannose complexes is unraveled in aqueous solution using a multitechnique experimental and theoretical approach. 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as well as 13C-1H and 1H-1H correlation spectra, analyzed in the light of coordination-induced shift method and conformation analysis, were employed to characterize the structure of the sugar involved in the complexes. X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy was performed to provide relevant information about the metal electronic and coordination environment. The calculation of 13C NMR chemical shifts for a series of tungstate-mannose complexes using density functional theory (DFT) is a key to identify the appropriate structure among several candidates. Furthermore, a parametric study based on several relevant parameters, namely, pH and tungstate concentration, was carried out to look over the change of the nature and concentrations of the complexes. Two series of complexes were detected, in which the metallic core is either in a ditungstate or a monotungstate form. With respect to previous proposals, we identify two new species. Dinuclear complexes involve both α- and β-furanose forms chelating the metallic center in a tetradentate fashion. A hydrate form chelating a ditungstate core is also revealed. One monotungstate complex appears at high pH, in which a tetrahedral tungstate center is bound to α-mannofuranose through a monodentate site at the second deprotonated hydroxyl group. This unequalled level of knowledge opens the door to structure-reactivity relationships.

Abstract
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has gained popularity in recent years as it probes matter with high spatial and elemental sensitivities. However, the theoretical modeling of XAS is a challenging task since XAS spectra feature a fine structure due to scalar (SC) and spin-orbit (SO) relativistic effects, in particular near L and M absorption edges. While full four-component (4c) calculations of XAS are nowadays feasible, there is still interest in developing approximate relativistic methods that enable XAS calculations at the two-component (2c) level while maintaining the accuracy of the parent 4c approach. In this article we present theoretical and numerical insights into two simple yet accurate 2c approaches based on an (extended) atomic mean-field exact two-component Hamiltonian framework, (e)amfX2C, for the calculation of XAS using linear eigenvalue and damped response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). In contrast to the commonly used one-electron X2C (1eX2C) Hamiltonian, both amfX2C and eamfX2C account for the SC and SO two-electron and exchange-correlation picture-change (PC) effects that arise from the X2C transformation. As we demonstrate on L- and M-edge XAS spectra of transition metal and actinide compounds, the absence of PC corrections in the 1eX2C approximation results in a substantial overestimation of SO splittings, whereas (e)amfX2C Hamiltonians reproduce all essential spectral features such as shape, position, and SO splitting of the 4c references in excellent agreement, while offering significant computational savings. Therefore, the (e)amfX2C PC correction models presented here constitute reliable relativistic 2c quantum-chemical approaches for modeling XAS.

Abstract
Direct functionalization of methane selectively to value-added chemicals is still one of the main challenges in modern science. Acetic acid is an important industrial chemical produced nowadays by expensive and environmentally unfriendly carbonylation of methanol using homogeneous catalysts. Here, we report a new photocatalytic reaction route to synthesize acetic acid from CH4 and CO at room temperature using water as the sole external oxygen source. The optimized photocatalyst consists of a TiO2 support and ammonium phosphotungstic polyoxometalate (NPW) clusters anchored with isolated Pt single atoms (Pt1). It enables a stable synthesis of 5.7 mmol·L-1 acetic acid solution in 60 h with the selectivity over 90% and 66% to acetic acid on liquid-phase and carbon basis, respectively, with the production of 99 mol of acetic acid per mol of Pt. Combined isotopic and in situ spectroscopy investigation suggests that synthesis of acetic acid proceeds via a photocatalytic oxidative carbonylation of methane over the Pt1 sites, with the methane activation facilitated by water-derived hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
The simulation of X-ray absorption spectra requires both scalar and spin-orbit (SO) relativistic effects to be taken into account, particularly near L- and M-edges where the SO splitting of core p and d orbitals dominates. Four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian-based linear damped response time-dependent density functional theory (4c-DR-TDDFT) calculates spectra directly for a selected frequency region while including the relativistic effects variationally, making the method well suited for X-ray applications. In this work, we show that accurate X-ray absorption spectra near L2,3- and M4,5-edges of closed-shell transition metal and actinide compounds with different central atoms, ligands, and oxidation states can be obtained by means of 4c-DR-TDDFT. While the main absorption lines do not change noticeably with the basis set and geometry, the exchange-correlation functional has a strong influence with hybrid functionals performing the best. The energy shift compared to the experiment is shown to depend linearly on the amount of Hartee-Fock exchange with the optimal value being 60% for spectral regions above 1000 eV, providing relative errors below 0.2% and 2% for edge energies and SO splittings, respectively. Finally, the methodology calibrated in this work is used to reproduce the experimental L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra of [RuCl2(DMSO)2(Im)2] and [WCl4(PMePh2)2], and resolve the broad bands into separated lines, allowing an interpretation based on ligand field theory and double point groups. These results support 4c-DR-TDDFT as a reliable method for calculating and analyzing X-ray absorption spectra of chemically interesting systems, advance the accuracy of state-of-the art relativistic DFT approaches, and provide a reference for benchmarking more approximate techniques.

Abstract
The tungsten ion that resides at the active site of a unique class of enzymes only found in esoteric hyperthermophilic archaea bacteria is known to possess at least one terminal chalcogenide ligand. The identity of this as either an oxo or sulfido (or both) is difficult to ascertain from structural studies; therefore, small-molecule analogues are developed to calibrate and substantiate spectroscopic signatures obtained from native proteins. The electronic structures of Tp*WECl2 (E = O, S; Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) have been scrutinized using electronic, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy to assess the impact of terminal chalcogen on the adjacent cis chloride ligands. Examination at the Cl K-edge provides a direct probe of the bonding and therein lability of these chloride ligands, and in conjunction with density functional theoretical and multireference calculations reveals greater bond covalency in Tp*WOCl2 compared to Tp*WSCl2. The computational model and electronic structure assignment are corroborated by the reproduction of spin-Hamiltonian parameters, whose magnitude is dominated by the sizeable spin-orbit coupling of tungsten.

Abstract
We have prepared and characterized a series of unprecedented group 6-group 11, N2-bridged, heterobimetallic [ML4(η1-N2)(μ-η1:η1-N2)Au(NHC)]+ complexes (M = Mo, W, L2 = diphosphine) by treatment of trans-[ML4(N2)2] with a cationic gold(I) complex [Au(NHC)]+. The adducts are very labile in solution and in the solid, especially in the case of molybdenum, and decomposition pathways are likely initiated by electron transfers from the zerovalent group 6 atom to gold. Spectroscopic and structural parameters point to the fact that the gold adducts are very similar to Lewis pairs formed out of strong main-group Lewis acids (LA) and low-valent, end-on dinitrogen complexes, with a bent M-N-N-Au motif. To verify how far the analogy goes, we computed the electronic structures of [W(depe)2(η1-N2)(μ-η1:η1-N2)AuNHC]+ (10W+) and [W(depe)2(η1-N2)(μ-η1:η1-N2)B(C6F5)3] (11W). A careful analysis of the frontier orbitals of both compounds shows that a filled orbital resulting from the combination of the π* orbital of the bridging N2 with a d orbital of the group 6 metal overlaps in 10W+ with an empty sd hybrid orbital at gold, whereas in 11W with an sp3 hybrid orbital at boron. The bent N-N-LA arrangement maximizes these interactions, providing a similar level of N2 "push-pull" activation in the two compounds. In the gold case, the HOMO-2 orbital is further delocalized to the empty carbenic p orbital, and an NBO analysis suggests an important electrostatic component in the μ-N2-[Au(NHC)]+ bond.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries are a proposed route to safely achieving high energy densities, yet this architecture faces challenges arising from interfacial issues between the electrode and solid electrolyte. Here we develop a novel family of double perovskites, Li1.5La1.5MO6 (M = W6+, Te6+), where an uncommon lithium-ion distribution enables macroscopic ion diffusion and tailored design of the composition allows us to switch functionality to either a negative electrode or a solid electrolyte. Introduction of tungsten allows reversible lithium-ion intercalation below 1 V, enabling application as an anode (initial specific capacity >200 mAh g-1 with remarkably low volume change of ∼0.2%). By contrast, substitution of tungsten with tellurium induces redox stability, directing the functionality of the perovskite towards a solid-state electrolyte with electrochemical stability up to 5 V and a low activation energy barrier (<0.2 eV) for microscopic lithium-ion diffusion. Characterisation across multiple length- and time-scales allows interrogation of the structure-property relationships in these materials and preliminary examination of a solid-state cell employing both compositions suggests lattice-matching avenues show promise for all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
The photoluminescence (PL) characterization spectrum has been widely used to study the electronic energy levels. Ho^{3+} is one of the commonly used doping elements to provide the PL with concentration limited to 1% atomic ratio. Here, we present a tricolor PL achieved in pyrochlore Ho_{2}Sn_{2}O_{7} through pressure treatment at room temperature, which makes a non-PL material to a strong multiband PL material with Ho^{3+} at the regular lattice site with 18.2% concentration. Under a high pressure compression-decompression treatment up to 78.0 GPa, the Ho_{2}Sn_{2}O_{7} undergoes pyrochlore (Fd 3m), to cotunnite (Pnma), then amorphous phase transition with different Ho^{3+} coordinations and site symmetries. The PL emerged from 31.2 GPa when the pyrochlore to cotunnite phase transition took place with the breakdown of site symmetry and enhanced hybridization of Ho^{3+} 4f and 5d orbitals. Upon decompression, the materials became an amorphous state with a partial retaining of the defected cotunnite phase, accompanied with a large enhancement of red-dominant tricolor PL from the ion pair cross-relaxation effect in the low-symmetry (C_{1}) site, in which two distinct Ho^{3+} emission centers (S center and L center) are present.

Heteroleptic Samarium(III) Chalcogenide Complexes: Opportunities for Giant Exchange Coupling in Bridging σ- and π-Radical Lanthanide Dichalcogenides. Inorg Chem 2020; 59:7571-7583.

Abstract
The introduction of (N2)3-• radicals into multinuclear lanthanide molecular magnets raised hysteresis temperatures by stimulating strong exchange coupling between spin centers. Radical ligands with larger donor atoms could promote more efficient magnetic coupling between lanthanides to provide superior magnetic properties. Here, we show that heavy chalcogens (S, Se, Te) are primed to fulfill these criteria. The moderately reducing Sm(II) complex, [Sm(N††)2], where N†† is the bulky bis(triisopropylsilyl)amide ligand, can be oxidized (i) by diphenyldichalcogenides E2Ph2 (E = S, Se, Te) to form the mononuclear series [Sm(N††)2(EPh)] (E = S, 1-S; Se, 1-Se, Te, 1-Te); (ii) S8 or Se8 to give dinuclear [{Sm(N††)2}2(μ-η2:η2-E2)] (E = S, 2-S2; Se, 2-Se2); or (iii) with Te═PEt3 to yield [{Sm(N††)2}(μ-Te)] (3). These complexes have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, multinuclear NMR, FTIR, and electronic spectroscopy; the steric bulk of N†† dictates the formation of mononuclear complexes with chalcogenate ligands and dinuclear species with the chalcogenides. The Lα1 fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectra at the Sm L3-edge yielded resolved pre-edge and white-line peaks for 1-S and 2-E2, which served to calibrate our computational protocol in the successful reproduction of the spectral features. This method was employed to elucidate the ground state electronic structures for proposed oxidized and reduced variants of 2-E2. Reactivity is ligand-based, forming species with bridging superchalcogenide (E2)-• and subchalcogenide (E2)3-• radical ligands. The extraordinarily large exchange couplings provided by these dichalcogenide radicals reveal their suitability as potential successors to the benchmark (N2)3-• complexes in molecular magnets.

Abstract
The composition of occupied and unoccupied electronic states in the vicinity of Fermi energies is vital for all materials and relates to their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. This work demonstrates how the combination of resonant and non-resonant X-ray emission spectroscopies supplemented with theoretical modelling allows for quantitative analysis of electronic states in 5d transition metal and metal-oxide materials. Application of X-rays provides element selectivity that, in combination with the penetrating properties of hard X-rays, allows determination of the composition of electronic states under working conditions, i.e. non-vacuum environment. Tungsten metal and tungsten oxide are evaluated to show the capability to simultaneously assess composition of around-band-gap electronic states as well as the character and magnitude of the crystal field splitting.

Abstract
The photodeposition method is useful for the preparation of metal-loaded photocatalysts, by which the metal precursors are adsorbed on the photocatalyst surface and reduced by photoexcited electrons to typically form metallic nanoparticles. In the present study, the photodeposition process of Pt nanoparticles was investigated on anatase and rutile TiO2 photocatalysts. It was found that on the anatase surface, only some of the Pt4+ precursors were first adsorbed in an adsorption equilibrium and reduced to form a smaller number of initial metal species; then, they functioned as electron receivers to reduce the remaining precursors on their metallic surfaces and become larger particles. In contrast, the rutile surface can adsorb most of the precursors and quickly reduce them upon photoirradiation to form nanoparticles, giving a larger number of small nanoparticles. As a result, the Pt-loaded rutile photocatalyst exhibited higher activity in hydrogen evolution from an aqueous methanol solution than the Pt-loaded anatase photocatalyst.

Abstract
The novel series of heteroleptic Sm(iii) halide complexes provides the backdrop for a fluorescence-detected Lα1 X-ray absorption spectroscopic study.
The addition of various oxidants to the near-linear Sm(ii) complex [Sm(N††)2] (1), where N†† is the bulky bis(triisopropylsilyl)amide ligand {N(SiiPr3)2}, afforded a family of heteroleptic three-coordinate Sm(iii) halide complexes, [Sm(N††)2(X)] (X = F, 2-F; Cl, 2-Cl; Br, 2-Br; I, 2-I). In addition, the trinuclear cluster [{Sm(N††)}3(μ2-I)3(μ3-I)2] (3), which formally contains one Sm(ii) and two Sm(iii) centres, was isolated during the synthesis of 2-I. Complexes 2-X are remarkably stable towards ligand redistribution, which is often a facile process for heteroleptic complexes of smaller monodentate ligands in lanthanide chemistry, including the related bis(trimethylsilyl)amide {N(SiMe3)2} (N′′). Complexes 2-X and 3 have been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, multinuclear NMR, FTIR and electronic spectroscopy. The Lα1 fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectra recorded at the Sm L3-edge for 2-X exhibited a resolved pre-edge peak defined as an envelope of quadrupole-allowed 2p → 4f transitions. The X-ray absorption spectral features were successfully reproduced using time-dependent density functional theoretical (TD-DFT) calculations that synergistically support the experimental observations as well as the theoretical model upon which the electronic structure and bonding in these lanthanide complexes is derived.

Abstract
Two related single-molecule magnets, [Co(9Accm)2(py)2] and [Co(9Accm)2(2,2′-bpy)], with cis and trans disposition of the CCMoid ligands were studied in solution, in the solid state and by deposition on different surfaces.
This work introduces a novel family of CoII species having a curcuminoid (CCMoid) ligand, 9Accm, attached, namely [Co(9Accm)2(py)2] (1) and [Co(9Accm)2(2,2′-bpy)] (2), achieved in high yields by the use of a microwave reactor, and exhibiting two different arrangements for the 9Accm ligands, described as “cis”(2) and “trans”(1). The study of the similarities/differences of the magnetic, luminescent and surface behaviors of the two new species, 1 and 2, is the main objective of the present work. The determined single-crystal structures of both compounds are the only CoII-CCMoid structures described in the literature so far. Both compounds exhibit large positive D values, that of 1 (D = +74 cm–1) being three times larger than that of 2 (D = +24 cm–1), and behave as mononuclear Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) in the presence of an external magnetic field. Their similar structures but different anisotropy and SMM characteristics provide, for the first time, deep insight on the spin-orbital effects thanks to the use of CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations implementing such contributions. Further magnetic studies were performed in solution by means of paramagnetic 1H NMR, where both compounds (1 and 2) are stable in CDCl3 and display high symmetry. Paramagnetic NMR appears to be a useful diagnostic tool for the identification of such molecules in solution, where the resonance values found for the methine group (–CH–) of 9Accm vary significantly depending on the cis or trans disposition of the ligands. Fluorescence studies show that both systems display chelation enhancement of quenching (CHEQ) with regard to the free ligand, while 1 and 2 display similar quantum yields. Deposition of 1–2 on HOPG and Si(100) surfaces using spin-coating was studied using AFM; UV photoemission experiments under the same conditions display 2 as the most robust system. The measured occupied density of states of 2 with UV photoemission is in excellent agreement with theoretical DFT calculations.
