J Inorg Biochem 2024; 257:112611.

Abstract
A mononuclear iron(II) complex, [(TpPh2)FeII(OTf)(CH3CN)] (1) (TpPh2 = hydrotris(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, OTf = triflate) has been isolated and its efficiency toward the aliphatic CC bond cleavage reaction of 1,2-diols with dioxygen has been investigated. Separate reactions between 1 and different 1,2-diolates form the corresponding iron(II)-diolate complexes in solution. While the iron(II) complex of the tetradentate TPA (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) ligand is not efficient in affecting the CC cleavage of 1,2-diol with dioxygen, complex 1 displays catalytic activity to afford carboxylic acid and aldehyde. Isotope labeling studies with 18O2 reveal that one oxygen atom from dioxygen is incorporated into the carboxylic acid product. The oxygenative CC cleavage reactions occur on the 1,2-diols containing at least one α-H atom. The kinetic isotope effect value of 5.7 supports the abstraction of an α-H by an iron(III)-superoxo species to propagate the CC cleavage reactions. The oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diolates by the iron(II) complex mimics the reaction catalyzed by the nonheme diiron enzyme, myo-inositol oxygenase.

Abstract
The intrinsic relationship between spin states and reactivity in peroxocobalt(III) complexes was investigated, specifically focusing on the influence of steric modulation on supporting ligands. Together with the previously reported [CoIII(TBDAP)(O2)]+ (2Tb), which exhibits spin crossover characteristics, two peroxocobalt(III) complexes, [CoIII(MDAP)(O2)]+ (2Me) and [CoIII(ADDAP)(O2)]+ (2Ad), bearing pyridinophane ligands with distinct N-substituents such as methyl and adamantyl groups, were synthesized and characterized. By manipulating the steric bulkiness of the N-substituents, control of spin states in peroxocobalt(III) complexes was demonstrated through various physicochemical analyses. Notably, 2Ad oxidized the nitriles to generate hydroximatocobalt(III) complexes, while 2Me displayed an inability for such oxidation reactions. Furthermore, both 2Ad and 2Tb exhibited similarities in spectroscopic and geometric features, demonstrating spin crossover behavior between S = 0 and S = 1. The steric bulkiness of the adamantyl and tert-butyl group on the axial amines was attributed to inducing a weak ligand field on the cobalt(III) center. Thus, 2Ad and 2Tb are an S = 1 state under the reaction conditions. In contrast, the less bulky methyl group on the amines of 2Me resulted in an S = 0 state. The redox potential of the peroxocobalt(III) complexes was also influenced by the ligand field arising from the steric bulkiness of the N-substituents in the order of 2Me (-0.01 V) < 2Tb (0.29 V) = 2Ad (0.29 V). Theoretical calculations using DFT supported the experimental observations, providing insights into the electronic structure and emphasizing the importance of the spin state of peroxocobalt(III) complexes in nitrile activation.

Abstract
The electronic structure and reactivity of tetra-coordinated nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes have remained unexplored for years. The recent synthesis of a closed-shell iron(IV)-oxo complex [(quinisox)FeIV(O)]+ (1) has set up a platform to understand how such complexes compare with the celebrated open-shell iron-oxo chemistry. Herein, using density functional theory and ab initio calculations, we present an in-depth electronic structure investigation of the C═C epoxidation [oxygen atom transfer (OAT)] and C-H hydroxylation [hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)] reactivity of 1. Using a solvent-coordinated geometry of 1 (1') and other potential tetra-coordinated iron(IV)-oxo complexes bearing rigid ligands (2 and 3), we established the geometric origin of spin-state energetics and reactivity of 1. Complex 1 featuring a strong Fe-O bond exhibits OAT and HAT reactivity in its quintet state. The lowest quintet OAT pathway has a lower barrier by ∼4 kcal/mol than the quintet HAT pathway, corroborating the experimentally observed gas-phase OAT reactivity preference. A conventional HAT reactivity preference for 2 and a comparable OAT and HAT reactivity for 3 are observed. This further supports the geometry-driven reactivity preference for 1. Noncovalent interaction analyses reveal a pronounced π-π interaction between the substrate and ligand in the OAT transition state, rationalizing the origin of the observed reactivity preference for 1.

Abstract
We report herein a synthetically useful catalytic system for aliphatic C-H oxidation with a mononuclear nonheme cobalt(II) complex and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a high-valent cobalt-oxygen species (e.g., cobalt(IV)-oxo or cobalt(III)-oxyl) is the oxidant that effects C-H oxidation via a rate-determining hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) step.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a lipid peroxidation-driven cell death program kept in check by glutathione peroxidase 4 and endogenous redox cycles, promises access to novel strategies for treating therapy-resistant cancers. Chlorido [N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediamine]iron (III) complexes (SCs) have potent anti-cancer properties by inducing ferroptosis, apoptosis, or necroptosis through still poorly understood molecular mechanisms. Here, we show that SCs preferentially induce ferroptosis over other cell death programs in triple-negative breast cancer cells (LC50 ≥ 0.07 μM) and are particularly effective against cell lines with acquired invasiveness, chemo- or radioresistance. Redox lipidomics reveals that initiation of cell death is associated with extensive (hydroper)oxidation of arachidonic acid and adrenic acid in membrane phospholipids, specifically phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylinositols, with SCs outperforming established ferroptosis inducers. Mechanistically, SCs effectively catalyze one-electron transfer reactions, likely via a redox cycle involving the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) species and reversible formation of oxo-bridged dimeric complexes, as supported by cyclic voltammetry. As a result, SCs can use hydrogen peroxide to generate organic radicals but not hydroxyl radicals and oxidize membrane phospholipids and (membrane-)protective factors such as NADPH, which is depleted from cells. We conclude that SCs catalyze specific redox reactions that drive membrane peroxidation while interfering with the ability of cells, including therapy-resistant cancer cells, to detoxify phospholipid hydroperoxides.

Abstract
Emulating the capabilities of the soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) enzymes, which effortlessly activate oxygen at diiron(II) centers to form a reactive diiron(IV) intermediate Q, which then performs the challenging oxidation of methane to methanol, poses a significant challenge. Very recently, one of us reported the mononuclear complex [(cyclam)FeII(CH3CN)2]2+ (1), which performed a rare bimolecular activation of the molecule of O2 to generate two molecules of FeIV═O without the requirement of external proton or electron sources, similar to sMMO. In the present study, we employed the density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate this unique mechanism of O2 activation. We show that secondary hydrogen-bonding interactions between ligand N-H groups and O2 play a vital role in reducing the energy barrier associated with the initial O2 binding at 1 and O-O bond cleavage to form the FeIV═O complex. Further, the unique reactivity of FeIV═O species toward simultaneous C-H and O-H bond activation process has been demonstrated. Our study unveils that the nature of the magnetic coupling between the diiron centers is also crucial. Given that the influence of magnetic coupling and noncovalent interactions in catalysis remains largely unexplored, this unexplored realm presents numerous avenues for experimental chemists to develop novel structural and functional analogues of sMMO.

Abstract
The nature of the axial ligand in high-valent iron-oxo heme enzyme intermediates and related synthetic catalysts is a critical structural element for controlling proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reactivity of these species. Herein, we describe the generation and characterization of three new 6-coordinate, iron(IV)-oxo porphyrinoid-π-cation-radical complexes and report their PCET reactivity together with a previously published 5-coordinate analogue, FeIV(O)(TBP8Cz+•) (TBP8Cz = octakis(p-tert-butylphenyl)corrolazinato3-) (2) (Cho, K. A high-valent iron-oxo corrolazine activates C-H bonds via hydrogen-atom transfer. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 7392-7399). The new complexes FeIV(O)(TBP8Cz+•)(L) (L = 1-methyl imidazole (1-MeIm) (4a), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (4b), cyanide (CN-)(4c)) can be generated from either oxidation of the ferric precursors or by addition of L to the Compound-I (Cpd-I) analogue at low temperatures. These complexes were characterized by UV-vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies, and cryospray ionization mass spectrometry (CSI-MS). Kinetic studies using 4-OMe-TEMPOH as a test substrate indicate that coordination of a sixth axial ligand dramatically lowers the PCET reactivity of the Cpd-I analogue (rates up to 7000 times slower). Extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with the experimental data show that the trend in reactivity with the axial ligands does not correlate with the thermodynamic driving force for these reactions or the calculated strengths of the O-H bonds being formed in the FeIV(O-H) products, pointing to non-Bell-Evans-Polanyi behavior. However, the PCET reactivity does follow a trend with the bracketed reduction potential of Cpd-I analogues and calculated electron affinities. The combined data suggest a concerted mechanism (a concerted proton electron transfer (CPET)) and an asynchronous movement of the electron/proton pair in the transition state.

Abstract
High-valent iron-oxo species are one of the common intermediates in both biological and biomimetic catalytic oxidation reactions. Recently, hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) has been proved to be critical in determining the selectivity and reactivity. However, few examples have been established for mechanistic insights into the H-bonding effect. Moreover, intramolecular H-bonding effect on both C-H activation and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions in synthetic porphyrin model system has not been investigated yet. In this study, a series of heme-containing iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species with or without intramolecular H-bonding are synthesized and characterized. Kinetic studies revealed that intramolecular H-bonding can significantly enhance the reactivity of iron(IV)-oxo species in OAT, C-H activation, and electron-transfer reactions. This unprecedented unified H-bonding effect is elucidated by theoretical calculations, which showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions lower the energy of the anti-bonding orbital of iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species, resulting in the enhanced reactivities in oxidation reactions irrespective of the reaction type. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first extensive investigation on the intramolecular H-bonding effect in heme system. The results show that H-bonding interactions have a unified effect with iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species in all three investigated reactions.

Abstract
The reactivity of six MnIV-oxo complexes in C-H bond oxidation has been examined using a combination of kinetic experiments and computational methods. Variable-temperature studies of the oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) and ethylbenzene by these MnIV-oxo complexes yielded activation parameters suitable for evaluating electronic structure computations. Complementary kinetic experiments of the oxidation of deuterated DHA provided evidence for hydrogen-atom tunneling in C-H bond oxidation for all MnIV-oxo complexes. These results are in accordance with the Bell model, where tunneling occurs near the top of the transition-state barrier. Density functional theory (DFT) and DLPNO-CCSD(T1) computations were performed for three of the six MnIV-oxo complexes to probe a previously predicted multistate reactivity model. The DFT computations predicted a thermal crossing from the 4B1 ground state to a 4E state along the C-H bond oxidation reaction coordinate. DLPNO-CCSD(T1) calculations further confirm that the 4E transition state offers a lower energy barrier, reinforcing the multistate reactivity model for these complexes. We discuss how this multistate model can be reconciled with recent computations that revealed that the kinetics of C-H bond oxidation by this set of MnIV-oxo complexes can be well-predicted on the basis of the thermodynamic driving force for these reactions.

Abstract
The enzymatic biosynthesis of fragrance molecules from lignin fragments is an important reaction in biotechnology for the sustainable production of fine chemicals. In this work we investigated the biosynthesis of vanillin from lignostilbene by a nonheme iron dioxygenase using QM/MM and tested several suggested proposals via either an epoxide or dioxetane intermediate. Binding of dioxygen to the active site of the protein results in the formation of an iron(II)-superoxo species with lignostilbene cation radical. The dioxygenase mechanism starts with electrophilic attack of the terminal oxygen atom of the superoxo group on the central C=C bond of lignostilbene, and the second-coordination sphere effects in the substrate binding pocket guide the reaction towards dioxetane formation. The computed mechanism is rationalized with thermochemical cycles and valence bond schemes that explain the electron transfer processes during the reaction mechanism. Particularly, the polarity of the protein and the local electric field and dipole moments enable a facile electron transfer and an exergonic dioxetane formation pathway.

Abstract
Compounds containing Mn-O bonds are of utmost importance in biological systems and catalytic processes. Nevertheless, mononuclear manganese complexes containing all O-donor ligands are still rare. Taking advantage of the low tendency of the pentafluoroorthotellurate ligand (teflate, OTeF5) to bridge metal centers, we have synthesized two homoleptic manganese complexes with monomeric structures and an all O-donor coordination sphere. The tetrahedrally distorted MnII anion, [Mn(OTeF5)4]2-, can be described as a high spin d5 complex (S = 5/2), as found experimentally (magnetic susceptibility measurements and EPR spectroscopy) and using theoretical calculations (DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2). The high spin d4 electronic configuration (S = 2) of the MnIII anion, [Mn(OTeF5)5]2-, was also determined experimentally and theoretically, and a square pyramidal geometry was found to be the most stable one for this complex. Finally, the bonding situation in both complexes was investigated by means of the Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) methodology and compared to that of hypothetical mononuclear fluoromanganates. Within each pair of [MnXn]2- (n = 4, 5) species (X = OTeF5, F), the Mn-X interaction is found to be comparable, therefore proving that the similar electronic properties of the teflate and the fluoride are also responsible for the stabilization of these unique species.

Abstract
The nonheme iron dioxygenase deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase performs an oxidative ring-closure reaction as part of natural product synthesis in plants. How the enzyme enables the oxidative ring-closure reaction of (-)-yatein and avoids substrate hydroxylation remains unknown. To gain insight into the reaction mechanism and understand the details of the pathways leading to products and by-products we performed a comprehensive computational study. The work shows that substrate is bound tightly into the substrate binding pocket with the C7'-H bond closest to the iron(IV)-oxo species. The reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism starting with hydrogen atom abstraction from the C7'-H position followed by ring-closure and a final hydrogen transfer to form iron(II)-water and deoxypodophyllotoxin. Alternative mechanisms including substrate hydroxylation and an electron transfer pathway were explored but found to be higher in energy. The mechanism is guided by electrostatic perturbations of charged residues in the second-coordination sphere that prevent alternative pathways.

Abstract
Sulfur ligation in metalloenzymes often gives the active site unique properties, whether it is the axial cysteinate ligand in the cytochrome P450s or the equatorial sulfur/thiol ligation in nonheme iron enzymes. To understand sulfur ligation to iron complexes and how it affects the structural, spectroscopic, and intrinsic properties of the active species and the catalysis of substrates, we pursued a systematic study and compared sulfur with amine-ligated iron(IV)-oxo complexes. We synthesized and characterized a biomimetic N4S-ligated iron(IV)-oxo complex and compared the obtained results with an analogous N5-ligated iron(IV)-oxo complex. Our work shows that the amine for sulfur replacement in the equatorial ligand framework leads to a rate enhancement for oxygen atom and hydrogen atom transfer reactions. Moreover, the sulfur-ligated iron(IV)-oxo complex reacts through a different reaction mechanism as compared to the N5-ligated iron(IV)-oxo complex, where the former reacts through hydride transfer with the latter reacting via radical pathways. We show that the reactivity differences are caused by a dramatic change in redox potential between the two complexes. Our studies highlight the importance of implementing a sulfur ligand into the equatorial ligand framework of nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes and how it affects the physicochemical properties of the oxidant and its reactivity.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared non-heme FeIII complexes (1, 2, and 3) of an N4 donor set of ligands (H2L, Me2L, and BPh2L). 1 is supported by a monoanionic bispyridine-dioxime ligand (HL). In 2 and 3, the primary coordination sphere of Fe remained similar to that in 1, except that the oxime protons of the ligand were replaced with two methyl groups and a bridging -BPh2 moiety, respectively. X-ray structures of the FeII complexes (1a and 3a) revealed similar Fe-N distances; however, they were slightly elongated in 2a. The FeIII/FeII potential of 1, 2, and 3 appeared at -0.31 V, -0.25 V, and 0.07 V vs. Fc+/Fc, respectively, implying that HL and Me2L have comparable donor properties. However, BPh2L is more electron deficient than HL or Me2L. 1 showed electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity in acetonitrile in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFAH) as the proton source at Ecat/2 = -0.45 V and revealed selective 4e-/4H+ reduction of O2 to H2O. 1 showed an effective overpotential (ηeff) of 0.98 V and turnover frequency (TOFmax) of 1.02 × 103 s-1. Kinetic studies revealed a kcat of 2.7 × 107 M-2 s-1. Strikingly, 2 and 3 remained inactive for electrocatalytic ORR, which established the essential role of the oxime scaffolds in the electrocatalytic ORR of 1. Furthermore, a chemical ORR of 1 has been investigated using decamethylferrocene as the electron source. For 1, a similar rate equation was noted to that of the electrocatalytic pathway. A kcat of 6.07 × 104 M-2 s-1 was found chemically. Complex 2, however, underwent a very slow chemical ORR. Complex 3 chemically enhances the 4e-/4H+ reduction of O2 and exhibits a TOF of 0.24 s-1 and a kcat value of 2.47 × 102 M-1 s-1. Based on the experimental observations, we demonstrate that the oxime backbone of the ligand in 1 works as a proton exchanging site in the 4e-/4H+ reduction of O2. The study describes how the ORR is affected by the tuning of the ligand scaffold in a family of non-heme Fe complexes.

Abstract
We report the macrocyclic ring size-electronic structure-electrophilic reactivity correlation of mononuclear nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complexes bearing N-tetramethylated cyclam analogues (n-TMC), [FeIII(O2)(12-TMC)]+ (1), [FeIII(O2)(13-TMC)]+ (2), and [FeIII(O2)(14-TMC)]+ (3), as a model study of Rieske oxygenases. The Fe(III)-peroxo complexes show the same δ and pseudo-σ bonds between iron and the peroxo ligand. However, the strength of these interactions varies depending on the ring size of the n-TMC ligands; the overall Fe-O bond strength and the strength of the Fe-O2 δ bond increase gradually as the ring size of the n-TMC ligands becomes smaller, such as from 14-TMC to 13-TMC to 12-TMC. MCD spectroscopy plays a key role in assigning the characteristic low-energy δ → δ* LMCT band, which provides direct insight into the strength of the Fe-O2 δ bond and which, in turn, is correlated with the superoxo character of the iron-peroxo group. In oxidation reactions, reactivities of 1-3 toward hydrocarbon C-H bond activation are compared, revealing the reactivity order of 1 > 2 > 3; the [FeIII(O2)(n-TMC)]+ complex with a smaller n-TMC ring size, 12-TMC, is much more reactive than that with a larger n-TMC ring size, 14-TMC. DFT analysis shows that the Fe(III)-peroxo complex is not reactive toward C-H bonds, but it is the end-on Fe(II)-superoxo valence tautomer that is responsible for the observed reactivity. The hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) reactivity of these intermediates is correlated with the overall donicity of the n-TMC ligand, which modulates the energy of the singly occupied π* superoxo frontier orbital that serves as the electron acceptor in the HAA reaction. The implications of these results for the mechanism of Rieske oxygenases are further discussed.

Abstract
The electron transfer (ET) step is one of the crucial processes in biochemical redox reactions that occur in nature and has been established as a key step in dictating the reactivity of high-valent metal-oxo species. Although metalloenzymes possessing metal-oxo units at their active site are typically associated with outer-sphere electron transfer (OSET) processes, biomimetic models, in contrast, have been found to manifest either an inner-sphere electron transfer (ISET) or OSET mechanism. This distinction is clearly illustrated through the behaviour of [(N4Py)MnIV (O)]2+ (1) and [(N4Py)FeIV (O)]2+ (2) complexes, where complex 1 showcases an OSET mechanism, while complex 2 exhibits an ISET mechanism, especially evident in their reactions involving C-H bond activation and oxygen atom transfer reactions in the presence of a Lewis/Bronsted acid. However, the precise reason for this puzzling difference remains elusive. This work unveils the origin of the perplexing inner-sphere vs outer-sphere electron transfer process (ISET vs OSET) in [(N4Py)MnIV (O)]2+ (1) and [(N4Py)FeIV (O)]2+ (2) species in the presence of Bronsted acid. The calculations indicate that when the substrate (toluene) approaches both 1 and 2 that is hydrogen bonded with two HOTf molecules (denoted as 1-HOTf and 2-HOTf, respectively), proton transfer from one of the HOTf molecules to the metal-oxo unit is triggered and a simultaneous electron transfer occurs from toluene to the metal centre. Interestingly, the preference for OSET by 1-HOTf is found to originate from the choice of MnIV =O centre to abstract spin-down (β) electron from toluene to its δ(dxy ) orbital. On the other hand, in 2-HOTf, a spin state inversion from triplet to quintet state takes place during the proton (from HOTf) coupled electron transfer (from toluene) preferring a spin-up (α) electron abstraction to its σ* (dz 2 ) orbital mediated by HOTf giving rise to ISET. In addition, 2-HOTf was calculated to possess a larger reorganisation energy, which facilitates the ISET process via the acid. The absence of spin-inversion and smaller reorganisation energy switch the mechanism to OSET for 1-HOTf. Therefore, for the first time, the significance of spin-state and spin-inversion in the electron transfer process has been identified and demonstrated within the realm of high-valent metal-oxo chemistry. This discovery holds implications for the potential involvement of high-valent Mn-oxo species in performing similar transformative processes within Photosystem II.

Abstract
Non-heme diiron enzymes activate O2 for the oxidation of substrates in the form of peroxo FeIII2 or high-valent FeIV2 intermediates. We have developed a dinucleating bis(tetradentate) ligand system that stabilizes peroxo and hydroperoxo FeIII2 complexes with terminal 6-methylpyridine donors, while the peroxo FeIII2 intermediate is reactive with terminal pyridine donors presumably via conversion to a fluent high-valent FeIV2 intermediate. We present here a derivative with electron-donating methoxy substituents at the pyridine donors and its diferric complexes with an {FeIIIX(μ-O)FeIIIX} (X- = Cl-, OAc-, and OH-) or an {FeIII(μ-O)(μ-OAc)FeIII} core. The complex-induced oxidation of EtOH with H2O2 provides μ-OAc-, and in acetone, the complex with mixed OH-/OAc- exogenous donors is obtained. Both reactivities indicate a reactive fluent peroxo FeIII2 intermediate. The coupling constant J and the LMCT transitions are insensitive to the nature of the directly bound ligands X- and reflect mainly the electronic structure of the central {FeIII(μ-O)FeIII} core, while Mössbauer spectroscopy and d-d transitions probe the local FeIII sites. The remote methoxy substituents decrease the potential for the oxidation to FeIV by ∼100 mV, while directly bound OH- in {FeIII(OH)(μ-O)FeIII(OH)} with a short 1.91 Å FeIII-OOH bond decreases the potential by 590 mV compared to {FeIII(OAc)(μ-O)FeIII(OAc)} with a 2.01 Å FeIII-OOAc bond. Interestingly, this FeIII-OH bond is even shorter (1.87 Å) in the mixed OH-/OAc- complex but the potential is the mean value of the potentials of the OH-/OH- and OAc-/OAc- complexes, thus reflecting the electron density of the central {FeIII(μ-O)FeIII} core and not of the local FeIII-OH unit.

Abstract
Generation of high-valent oxomanganese complexes through controlled removal of protons and electrons from low-valent congeners is a crucial step toward the synthesis of functional analogues of the native oxygen evolving complex (OEC). In-depth studies of the water oxidation activity of such biomimetic compounds help in understanding the mechanism of O-O bond formation presumably occurring in the last step of the photosynthetic cycle. Scarce reports of reactive high-valent oxomanganese complexes underscore the impetus for the present work, wherein we report the electrochemical generation of the non-heme oxomanganese(IV) species [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+ (2) through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process from the hydroxomanganese complex [(dpaq)MnIII(OH)]ClO4 (1). Controlled potential spectroelectrochemical studies of 1 in wet acetonitrile at 1.45 V vs. NHE revealed quantitative formation of 2 within 10 min. The high-valent oxomanganese(IV) transient exhibited remarkable stability and could be reverted to the starting complex (1) by switching the potential to 0.25 V vs. NHE. The formation of 2via PCET oxidation of 1 demonstrates an alternate pathway for the generation of the oxomanganese(IV) transient (2) without the requirement of redox-inactive metal ions or acid additives as proposed earlier. Theoretical studies predict that one-electron oxidation of [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+ (2) forms a manganese(V)-oxo (3) species, which can be oxidized further by one electron to a formal manganese(VI)-oxo transient (4). Theoretical analyses suggest that the first oxidation event (2 to 3) takes place at the metal-based d-orbital, whereas, in the second oxidation process (3 to 4), the electron eliminates from an orbital composed of equitable contribution from the metal and the ligand, leaving a single electron in the quinoline-dominant orbital in the doublet ground spin state of the manganese(VI)-oxo species (4). This mixed metal-ligand (quinoline)-based oxidation is proposed to generate a formal Mn(VI) species (4), a non-heme analogue of the species 'compound I', formed in the catalytic cycle of cytochrome P-450. We propose that the highly electrophilic species 4 catches water during cyclic voltammetry experiments and results in O-O bond formation leading to electrocatalytic oxidation of water to hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Aerobic organisms involve dioxygen-activating iron enzymes to perform various metabolically relevant chemical transformations. Among these enzymes, mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes reductively activate dioxygen to catalyze diverse biological oxidations, including oxygenation of C-H and C═C bonds and C-C bond cleavage with amazing selectivity. Several non-heme enzymes utilize organic cofactors as electron sources for dioxygen reduction, leading to the generation of iron-oxygen intermediates that act as active oxidants in the catalytic cycle. These unique enzymatic reactions influence the design of small molecule synthetic compounds to emulate enzyme functions and to develop bioinspired catalysts for performing selective oxidation of organic substrates with dioxygen. Selective electron transfer during dioxygen reduction on iron centers of synthetic models by a sacrificial reductant requires appropriate design strategies. Taking lessons from the role of enzyme-cofactor complexes in the selective electron transfer process, our group utilized ternary iron(II)-α-hydroxy acid complexes supported by polydentate ligands for dioxygen reduction and bioinspired oxidations. This Account focuses on the role of coordinated sacrificial reductants in the selective electron transfer for dioxygen reduction by iron complexes and highlights the versatility of iron(II)-α-hydroxy acid complexes in affecting dioxygen-dependent oxidation/oxygenation reactions. The iron(II)-coordinated α-hydroxy acid anions undergo two-electron oxidative decarboxylation concomitant with the generation of reactive iron-oxygen oxidants. A nucleophilic iron(II)-hydroperoxo species was intercepted in the decarboxylation pathway. In the presence of a Lewis acid, the O-O bond of the nucleophilic oxidant is heterolytically cleaved to generate an electrophilic iron(IV)-oxo-hydroxo oxidant. Most importantly, the oxidants generated with or without Lewis acid can carry out cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes. Furthermore, the electrophilic iron-oxygen oxidant selectively hydroxylates strong C-H bonds. Another electrophilic iron(IV)-oxo oxidant, generated from the iron(II)-α-hydroxy acid complexes in the presence of a protic acid, carries out C-H bond halogenation by using a halide anion.Thus, different metal-oxygen intermediates could be generated from dioxygen using a single reductant, and the reactivity of the ternary complexes can be tuned using external additives (Lewis/protic acid). The catalytic potential of the iron(II)-α-hydroxy complexes in performing O2-dependent oxygenations has been demonstrated. Different factors that govern the reactivity of iron-oxygen oxidants from ternary iron(II) complexes are presented. The versatile reactivity of the oxidants provides useful insights into developing catalytic methods for the selective incorporation of oxidized functionalities under environmentally benign conditions using aerial oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

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
Nitrogenase is a fascinating enzyme in biology that reduces dinitrogen from air to ammonia through stepwise reduction and protonation. Despite it being studied in detail by experimental and computational groups, there are still many unknown factors in the catalytic cycle of nitrogenase, especially related to the addition of protons and electrons and their order. A recent biomimetic study characterized a potential dinitrogen-bridged diiron cluster as a synthetic model of nitrogenase. Using strong acid and reductants, the dinitrogen was converted into ammonia molecules, but details of the mechanism remains unknown. In particular, it was unclear from the experimental studies whether the proton and electron transfer steps are sequential or alternating. Moreover, the work failed to establish what the function of the diiron core is and whether it split into mononuclear iron fragments during the reaction. To understand the structure and reactivity of the biomimetic dinitrogen-bridged diiron complex [(P2P'PhFeH)2(μ-N2)] with triphenylphosphine ligands, we performed a density functional theory study. Our computational methods were validated against experimental crystal structure coordinates, Mössbauer parameters, and vibrational frequencies and show excellent agreement. Subsequently, we investigated the alternating and consecutive addition of electrons and protons to the system. The calculations identify a number of possible reaction channels, namely, same-site protonation, alternating protonation, and complex dissociation into mononuclear iron centers. The calculations show that the overall mechanism is not a pure sequential set of electron and proton transfers but a mixture of alternating and consecutive steps. In particular, the first reaction steps will start with double proton transfer followed by an electron transfer, while thereafter, there is another proton transfer and a second electron transfer to give a complex whereby ammonia can split off with a low energetic barrier. The second channel starts with alternating protonation of the two nitrogen atoms, whereafter the initial double proton transfer, electrons and protons are added sequentially to form a hydrazine-bound complex. The latter split off ammonia spontaneously after further protonation. The various reaction channels are analyzed with valence bond and orbital diagrams. We anticipate the nitrogenase enzyme to operate with mixed alternating and consecutive protonation and electron transfer steps.

Abstract
A series of cobalt(III)-peroxo complexes, [CoIII(R2-TBDAP)(O2)]+ (1R2; R2 = Cl, H, and OMe), and cobalt(III)-hydroperoxo complexes, [CoIII(R2-TBDAP)(O2H)(CH3CN)]2+ (2R2), bearing electronically tuned tetraazamacrocyclic ligands (R2-TBDAP = N,N'-di-tert-butyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-p-R2-pyridinophane) were prepared from their cobalt(II) precursors and characterized by various physicochemical methods. The X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic analyses unambiguously showed that all 1R2 compounds have similar octahedral geometry with a side-on peroxocobalt(III) moiety, but the O-O bond lengths of 1Cl [1.398(3) Å] and 1OMe [1.401(4) Å] were shorter than that of 1H [1.456(3) Å] due to the different spin states. For 2R2, the O-O bond vibration energies of 2Cl and 2OMe were identical at 853 cm-1 (856 cm-1 for 2H), but their Co-O bond vibration frequencies were observed at 572 cm-1 for 2Cl and 550 cm-1 for 2OMe, respectively, by resonance Raman spectroscopy (560 cm-1 for 2H). Interestingly, the redox potentials (E1/2) of 2R2 increased in the order of 2OMe (0.19 V) < 2H (0.24 V) < 2Cl (0.34 V) according to the electron richness of the R2-TBDAP ligands, but the oxygen-atom-transfer reactivities of 2R2 showed a reverse trend (k2: 2Cl < 2H < 2OMe) with a 13-fold rate enhancement at 2OMe over 2Cl in a sulfoxidation reaction with thioanisole. Although the reactivity trend contradicts the general consideration that electron-rich metal-oxygen species with low E1/2 values have sluggish electrophilic reactivity, this could be explained by a weak Co-O bond vibration of 2OMe in the unusual reaction pathway. These results provide considerable insight into the electronic nature-reactivity relationship of metal-oxygen species.

Abstract
Diiron cofactors in enzymes perform diverse challenging transformations. The structures of high valent intermediates (Q in methane monooxygenase and X in ribonucleotide reductase) are debated since Fe-Fe distances of 2.5-3.4 Å were attributed to "open" or "closed" cores with bridging or terminal oxido groups. We report the crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization of a FeIII 2 (μ-O)2 complex (2) with tetrahedral (4C) centres and short Fe-Fe distance (2.52 Å), persisting in organic solutions. 2 shows a large Fe K-pre-edge intensity, which is caused by the pronounced asymmetry at the TD FeIII centres due to the short Fe-μ-O bonds. A ≈2.5 Å Fe-Fe distance is unlikely for six-coordinate sites in Q or X, but for a Fe2 (μ-O)2 core containing four-coordinate (or by possible extension five-coordinate) iron centres there may be enough flexibility to accommodate a particularly short Fe-Fe separation with intense pre-edge transition. This finding may broaden the scope of models considered for the structure of high-valent diiron intermediates formed upon O2 activation in biology.

Abstract
In many metalloenzymes, sulfur-containing ligands participate in catalytic processes, mainly via the involvement in electron transfer reactions. In a biomimetic approach, we now demonstrate the implication of S-ligation in cobalt mediated oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). A comparative study between the catalytic ORR capabilities of the four-nitrogen bound [Co(cyclam)]2+ (1; cyclam=1,5,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane) and the S-containing analog [Co(S2 N2 -cyclam)]2+ (2; S2 N2 -cyclam=1,8-dithia-5,11-diaza-cyclotetradecane) reveals improved catalytic performance once the chalcogen is introduced in the Co coordination sphere. Trapping and characterization of the intermediates formed upon dioxygen activation at the CoII centers in 1 and 2 point to the involvement of sulfur in the O2 reduction process as the key for the improved catalytic ORR capabilities of 2.

Abstract
12-Membered pyridinophanes are the focus of many studies as biological mimics, chelators, and catalytic precursors. Therefore, the desire to tune the reactivity of pyridinophanes to better control the applications of derivative metal complexes has inspired many structure-activity relationship studies. However, the separation of structural versus electronic changes imparted by ligand modification has made these structure-activity relationship studies of transition metal catalysts challenging to define. In this work we show that 4-substitution of the pyridine ring in 12-membered tetra-aza pyridinophanes successfully provides a regulatory handle on the electronic properties of the metal center and, therefore, the catalytic C-C coupling activity of the respective iron complexes. The C-C coupling reaction catalyzed by Fe(L1-L6) provides a range of yields (32-58%) that directly correlate with iron redox potentials (ΔE1/2 = 152 mV) and metal binding constants (Δlog β = 3.45), while the geometry of the complexes was virtually indistinguishable. These are the first results to definitively show the redox potential and metal binding as independent properties from the coordination chemistry in one ligand series. Adjustments to these chemical properties were then shown to provide a regulatory handle for the C-C coupling reactivity tuned via pyridine substitution in pyridinophanes.

Abstract
The oxidation of aldehyde is one of the fundamental reactions in the biological system. Various synthetic procedures and catalysts have been developed to convert aldehydes into corresponding carboxylic acids efficiently under ambient conditions. In this work, we report the oxidation of aldehydes by a mononuclear manganese(III) iodosylbenzene complex, [MnIII(TBDAP)(OIPh)(OH)]2+ (1), with kinetic and mechanistic studies in detail. The reaction of 1 with aldehydes resulted in the formation of corresponding carboxylic acids via a pre-equilibrium state. Hammett plot and reaction rates of 1 with 1°-, 2°-, and 3°-aldehydes revealed the electrophilicity of 1 in the aldehyde oxidation. A kinetic isotope effect experiment and reactivity of 1 toward cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (CCA) analogues indicate that the reaction of 1 with aldehyde occurs through the rate-determining C-H bond activation at the formyl group. The reaction rate of 1 with CCA is correlated to the bond dissociation energy of the formyl group plotting a linear correlation with other aliphatic C-H bonds. Density functional theory calculations found that 1 electrostatically interacts with CCA at the pre-equilibrium state in which the C-H bond activation of the formyl group is performed as the most feasible pathway. Surprisingly, the rate-determining step is characterized as hydride transfer from CCA to 1, affording an (oxo)methylium intermediate. At the fundamental level, it is revealed that the hydride transfer is composed of H atom abstraction followed by a fast electron transfer. Catalytic reactions of aldehydes by 1 are also presented with a broad substrate scope. This novel mechanistic study gives better insights into the metal oxygen chemistry and would be prominently valuable for development of transition metal catalysts.

Abstract
High-valent first-row transition-metal-oxo complexes are important intermediates in biologically and chemically relevant oxidative transformations of organic molecules and in the water splitting reaction in (artificial) photosynthesis. While high-valent Fe- and Mn-oxo complexes have been characterized in detail, much less is known about their analogues with late transition metals. In this study, we present the synthesis and detailed characterization of a unique mononuclear terminal Ni-O complex. This compound, [Ni(TAML)(O)(OH)]3-, is characterized by an intense charge-transfer (CT) band around 730 nm and has an St = 1 ground state, as determined by magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. From extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), the Ni-O bond distance is 1.84 Å. Ni K edge XAS data indicate that the complex contains a Ni(III) center, which results from an unusually large degree of Ni-O π-bond inversion, with one hole located on the oxo ligand. The complex is therefore best described as a low-spin Ni(III) complex (S = 1/2) with a bound oxyl (O•-) ligand (S = 1/2), where the spins of Ni and oxyl are ferromagnetically coupled, giving rise to the observed St = 1 ground state. This bonding description is roughly equivalent to the presence of a Ni-O single (σ) bond. Reactivity studies show that [Ni(TAML)(O)(OH)]3- is a strong oxidant capable of oxidizing thioanisole and styrene derivatives with large negative ρ values in the Hammett plot, indicating its electrophilic nature. The intermediate also shows high reactivity in C-H bond activation of hydrocarbons with a kinetic isotope effect of 7.0(3) in xanthene oxidation.

Abstract
Metal peroxides are key species involved in a range of critical biological and synthetic processes. Rare-earth (group III and the lanthanides; Sc, Y, La-Lu) peroxides have been implicated as reactive intermediates in catalysis; however, reactivity studies of isolated, structurally characterized rare-earth peroxides have been limited. Herein, we report the peroxide-selective (93-99% O22-) reduction of dioxygen (O2) at redox-inactive rare-earth triflates in methanol using a mild metallocene reductant, decamethylferrocene (Fc*). The first molecular praseodymium peroxide ([PrIII2(O22-)(18C6)2(EG)2][OTf]4; 18C6 = 18-crown-6, EG = ethylene glycol, -OTf = -O3SCF3; 2-Pr) was isolated and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. 2-Pr displays high thermal stability (120 °C, 50 mTorr), is protonated by mild organic acids [pKa1(MeOH) = 5.09 ± 0.23], and engages in electrophilic (e.g., oxygen atom transfer) and nucleophilic (e.g., phosphate-ester cleavage) reactivity. Our mechanistic studies reveal that the rate of oxygen reduction is dictated by metal-ion accessibility, rather than Lewis acidity, and suggest new opportunities for differentiated reactivity of redox-inactive metal ions by leveraging weak metal-ligand binding events preceding electron transfer.

Abstract
The effect of HClO4 on the reactivity and selectivity of the catalyst systems 1,2/H2O2/AcOH, based on nonheme iron complexes of the PDP families, [(Me2OMePDP)FeIII(μ-OH)2FeIII(MeOMe2PDP)](OTf)4 (1) and [(NMe2PDP)FeIII(μ-OH)2FeIII(NMe2PDP](OTf)4 (2), toward oxidation of benzylideneacetone (bna), adamantane (ada), and (3aR)-(+)-sclareolide (S) has been studied. Adding HClO4 (2–10 equiv. vs. Fe) has been found to result in the simultaneous improvement of the observed catalytic efficiency (i.e., product yields) and the oxidation regio- or enantioselectivity. At the same time, HClO4 causes a threefold increase of the second-order rate constant for the reaction of the key oxygen-transferring intermediate [(Me2OMePDP)FeV=O(OAc)]2+ (1a), with cyclohexane at −70 °C. The effect of strong Brønsted acid on the catalytic reactivity is discussed in terms of the reversible protonation of the Fe=O moiety of the parent perferryl intermediates.

Abstract
Dioxygen (O2) is an environmentally benign and abundant oxidant whose utilization is of great interest in the design of bioinspired synthetic catalytic oxidation systems to reduce energy consumption. However, it is unfortunate that utilization of O2 is a significant challenge because of the thermodynamic stability of O2 in its triplet ground state. Nevertheless, nature is able to overcome the spin state barrier using enzymes, which contain transition metals with unpaired d-electrons facilitating the activation of O2 by metal coordination. This inspires bioinorganic chemists to synthesize biomimetic small-molecule iron porphyrin complexes to carry out the O2 activation, wherein Fe-O2 species have been implicated as the key reactive intermediates. In recent years, a number of Fe-O2 intermediates have been synthesized by activating O2 at iron centers supported on porphyrin ligands. In this review, we focus on a few examples of these advances with emphasis in each case on the particular design of iron porphyrin complexes and particular reaction environments to stabilize and isolate metal-O2 intermediates in dioxygen activation, which will provide clues to elucidate structures of reactive intermediates and mechanistic insights in biological processes.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of an end-on dinuclear Mn(II) azide complex with two bridging azide ligands that served as a precursor for the formation of an end-on bis(μ-hydroxido) dinuclear Mn(II,III) azide complex upon oxidation by organic peroxide or peracids. Combined experimental and theoretical studies on the reactivity of the end-on bis(μ-hydroxido) dinuclear Mn(II,III) azide complex suggest that the reaction with substrates having weak C-H bond and O-H bond dissociation energy occurred via a H-atom abstraction reaction in a concerted manner.

Abstract
In this work, we computationally explore the formation and subsequent reactivity of various iron-oxo species in the iron-triazolate framework Fe2(μ-OH)2(bbta) (H2bbta = 1H,5H-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d')bistriazole) for the catalytic activation of strong C-H bonds. With the direct conversion of methane to methanol as the probe reaction of interest, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to evaluate multiple mechanistic pathways in the presence of either N2O or H2O2 oxidants. These calculations reveal that a wide range of transition metal-oxo sites - both terminal and bridging - are plausible in this family of metal-organic frameworks, making it a unique platform for comparing the electronic structure and reactivity of different proposed active site motifs. Based on the DFT calculations, we predict that Fe2(μ-OH)2(bbta) would exhibit a relatively low barrier for N2O activation and energetically favorable formation of an [Fe(O)]2+ species that is capable of oxidizing C-H bonds. In contrast, the use of H2O2 as the oxidant is predicted to yield an assortment of bridging iron-oxo sites that are less reactive. We also find that abstracting oxo ligands can exhibit a complex mixture of both positive and negative spin density, which may have broader implications for relating the degree of radical character to catalytic activity. In general, we consider the coordinatively unsaturated iron sites to be promising for oxidation catalysis, and we provide several recommendations on how to further tune the catalytic properties of this family of metal-triazolate frameworks.

Abstract
Four cobalt(II)-carboxylate complexes [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzoate)](BPh4) (1), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzilate)](ClO4) (2), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(mandelate)](BPh4) (3), and [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(MPA)](BPh4) (4) (HMPA = 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetic acid) of the 6-Me3-TPA (tris((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)amine) ligand were isolated to investigate their ability in H2O2-dependent selective oxygenation of C-H and CC bonds. All six-coordinate complexes contain a high-spin cobalt(II) center. While the cobalt(II) complexes are inert toward dioxygen, each of these complexes reacts readily with hydrogen peroxide to form a diamagnetic cobalt(III) species, which decays with time leading to the oxidation of the methyl groups on the pyridine rings of the supporting ligand. Intramolecular ligand oxidation by the cobalt-based oxidant is partially inhibited in the presence of external substrates, and the substrates are converted to their corresponding oxidized products. Kinetic studies and labelling experiments indicate the involvement of a metal-based oxidant in affecting the chemo- and stereo-selective catalytic oxygenation of aliphatic C-H bonds and epoxidation of alkenes. An electrophilic cobalt-oxygen species that exhibits a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 5.3 in toluene oxidation by 1 is proposed as the active oxidant. Among the complexes, the cobalt(II)-benzoate (1) and cobalt(II)-MPA (4) complexes display better catalytic activity compared to their α-hydroxy analogues (2 and 3). Catalytic studies with the cobalt(II)-acetonitrile complex [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2 (5) in the presence and absence of externally added benzoate support the role of the carboxylate co-ligand in oxidation reactions. The proposed catalytic reaction involves a carboxylate-bridged dicobalt complex in the activation of H2O2 followed by the oxidation of substrates by a metal-based oxidant.

Abstract
High-valent iron(IV)-oxo complexes are of great significance as reactive intermediates implicated in diverse chemical and biological systems. The aqueous iron(IV)-oxo complex (FeaqIVO2+) is the simplest but one of the most powerful ferryl ion species, which possesses a high-spin state, high reduction potential, and long lifetime. It has been well documented that FeaqIVO2+ reacts with organic compounds through various pathways (hydrogen-atom, hydride, oxygen-atom, and electron transfer as well as electrophilic addition) at moderate reaction rates and show selective reactivity toward inorganic ions prevailing in natural water, which single out FeaqIVO2+ as a superior candidate for oxidative water treatment. This review provides state-of-the-art knowledge on the chemical properties and oxidation mechanism and kinetics of FeaqIVO2+, with special attention to the similarities and differences to two representative free radicals (hydroxyl radical and sulfate radical). Moreover, the prospective role of FeaqIVO2+ in Feaq2+ activation-initiated advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been intensively investigated over the past 20 years, which has significantly challenged the conventional recognition that free radicals dominated in these AOPs. The latest progress in identifying the contribution of FeaqIVO2+ in Feaq2+-based AOPs is thereby reviewed, highlighting controversies on the nature of the reactive oxidants formed in several Feaq2+ activated peroxide and oxyacid processes. Finally, future perspectives for advancing the evaluation of FeaqIVO2+ reactivity from an engineering viewpoint are proposed.
