Arora S, Gupta P. Counter-Anions Rendered Weak-Interactions Perturb the Stability of Tyrosinase-Mimicked Peroxo-Dicopper(II) Active Site: Unraveling Computational Indicators. Chem Asian J 2023; 18:e202300688. [PMID: 37679940 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202300688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
It has been observed in literature that the stability of tyrosinase-mimicked μ-η2 :η2 -peroxo-dicopper(II) (P) can be perturbed in presence of counter-anions (CAs) such as PhCO2 - , CF3 SO3 - , TsO- and SbF6 - . In this work, we unravel computational indicators using density functional theory to screen and study the stability of P in experimentally-reported cases. These indicators are Gibbs energies, geometrical parameters such as distances and angles, independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) generated data, orbitals' overlap, and distortion-interaction (DI) energies. Our DFT computed Gibbs energies indicate that P is stable in case of PhCO2 - and TsO- . CF3 SO3 - allows P and its isoelectronic species bis-μ-oxo-dicopper (O) to coexist. SbF6 - shows that O is in excess. Our indicators reveal that the stability of P in case of PhCO2 - and TsO- is due to the better placing of P and its CA, thus leading to better interactions and overlap of orbitals. Other indicator displays that the plane of Cu2 O2 core in P is more bend in PhCO2 - and TsO- cases as compared to the plane in the other two cases. In addition, the IGMH-based indicator displays higher values in the case of PhCO2 - and TsO- than the other CAs.

Abstract
A novel dinucleating bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligand was developed for tyrosinase model systems. After ligand synthesis, the corresponding Cu(I) complex was synthesized and upon oxygenation, formation of a µ-η2:η2 peroxido complex could be observed and monitored using UV/Vis-spectroscopy. Due to the high stability of this species even at room temperature, a molecular structure of the complex could be characterized via single-crystal XRD. Additional to its promising stability, the peroxido complex showed catalytic tyrosinase activity which was investigated via UV/Vis-spectroscopy. Products of the catalytic conversion could be isolated and characterized and the ligand could be successfully recycled after catalysis experiments. Furthermore, the peroxido complex was reduced by reductants with different reduction potentials. The characteristics of the electron transfer reactions were investigated with the help of the Marcus relation. The combination of the high stability and catalytic activity of the peroxido complex with the new dinucleating ligand, enables the shift of oxygenation reactions for selected substrates towards green chemistry, which is furthered by the efficient ligand recycling capability.

Abstract
Coupled binuclear copper (CBC) sites are employed by many metalloenzymes to catalyze a broad set of biochemical transformations. Typically, the CBC catalytic sites are activated by the O2 molecule to form various [Cu2O2] reactive species. This has also inspired synthesis and development of various biomimetic inorganic complexes featuring the CBC core. From theoretical perspective, the [Cu2O2] reactivity often hinges on the side-on-peroxo-dicopper(II) (P) vs. bis-μ-oxo-dicopper(III) (O) isomerism - an equilibrium that has become almost iconic in theoretical bioinorganic chemistry. Herein, we present a comprehensive calibration and evaluation of the performance of various composite computational protocols available in contemporary computational chemistry, involving coupled-cluster and multi-reference (relativistic) wave function methods, popular density functionals and solvation models. Starting with the well-studied reference [Cu2O2(NH3)6]2+ system, we compared the performance of electronic structure methods and discussed the relativistic effects. This allowed us to select several 'calibrated' DFT functionals that can be conveniently employed to study ten experimentally well-characterized [Cu2O2] inorganic systems. We mostly correctly predicted the lowest-energy structures (P vs. O) of the studied systems. In addition, we present calibration of the used electronic structure methods for prediction of the spectroscopic features of the [Cu2O2] core.

J Inorg Biochem 2021; 224:111541.

Abstract
The tyrosinase-like activity of hybrid guanidine-stabilized bis(μ-oxido) dicopper(III) complexes [Cu2(μ-O)2(L)2](X)2 (L = 2-{2-((Diethylamino)methyl)phenyl}-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMGbenzNEt2, L2) and 2-{2-((Di-isopropylamino)methyl)phenyl}-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMGbenzNiPr2, L3); X = PF6-, BF4-, CF3SO3-) is described. New aromatic hybrid guanidine amine ligands were developed with varying amine donor function. Their copper(I) complexes were analyzed towards their ability to activate dioxygen in the presence of different weakly coordinating anions. The resulting bis(μ-oxido) species were characterized at low temperatures by UV/Vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy, cryo-ESI mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. Small structural changes in the ligand sphere were found to influence the characteristic ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) features of the bis(μ-oxido) species, correlating a redshift in the UV/Vis spectrum with weaker N-donor function of the ligand. DFT calculations elucidated the influence of the steric and electronic properties of the bis(μ-oxido) species leading to a higher twist of the Cu2O2 plane against the CuN2 plane and a stretching of the Cu2O2 core. Despite their moderate stability at -100 °C, the bis(μ-oxido) complexes exhibited a remarkable activity in catalytic oxygenation reactions of polycyclic aromatic alcohols. Further the selectivity of the catalyst in the hydroxylation reactions of challenging phenolic substrates is not changed despite an increasing shield of the reactive bis(μ-oxido) core. The generated quinones were found to form exclusively bent phenazines, providing a promising strategy to access tailored phenazine derivatives.

Abstract
Copper nitrene complexes are highly reactive species and are known as intermediates in the copper catalyzed C-H amination. In this study, three novel copper tosyl nitrene complexes were synthesized at low temperatures, stabilized with heteroscorpionate ligands of the bis(pyrazolyl)methane family. The copper nitrenes were obtained by the reaction of a copper(i) acetonitrile complex with SPhINTs in dichloromethane. We show that the ligand design has a major influence on the catalytic activity and the thermal stability of the copper nitrene complex. Not only the choice of the third N donor, but also the substituent in the 5-position of the pyrazolyl moiety, have an impact on the stability. Furthermore, the novel copper nitrene complexes were used for catalytic aziridination of styrenes and C-H amination reactions of aromatic and aliphatic substrates under mild reaction conditions. Even challenging substrates like benzene and cyclohexane were aminated with good yields. The copper nitrene complexes were characterized using UV/Vis spectroscopy, low temperature Evans NMR spectroscopy, density functional theory, domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster calculations (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) and cryo-UHR mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Bis(guanidine) copper complexes are known for their ability to activate dioxygen. Unfortunately, until now, no bis(guanidine) copper-dioxygen adduct has been able to transfer oxygen to substrates. Using an aromatic backbone, fluorescence properties can be added to the copper(I) complex which renders them useful for later reaction monitoring. The novel bis(guanidine) ligand DMEG2tol stabilizes copper(I) and copper(II) complexes (characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry) and, after oxygen activation, bis(µ-oxido) dicopper(III) complexes which have been characterized by low-temperature UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy. These bis(guanidine) stabilized bis(µ-oxido) complexes are able to mediate tyrosinase-like hydroxylation activity as first examples of bis(guanidine) stabilized complexes. The experimental study is accompanied by density functional theory calculations which highlight the special role of the different guanidine donors.

Abstract
Heteroscorpionate ligands of the bis(pyrazolyl)methane family have been applied in the stabilisation of terminal copper tosyl nitrenes. These species are highly active intermediates in the copper-catalysed direct C-H amination and nitrene transfer. Novel perfluoroalkyl-pyrazolyl- and pyridinyl-containing ligands were synthesized to coordinate to a reactive copper nitrene centre. Four distinct copper tosyl nitrenes were prepared at low temperatures by the reaction with SO2 tBuPhINTs and copper(I) acetonitrile complexes. Their stoichiometric reactivity has been elucidated regarding the imination of phosphines and the aziridination of styrenes. The formation and thermal decay of the copper nitrenes were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy of the highly coloured species. Additionally, the compounds were studied by cryo-UHR-ESI mass spectrometry and DFT calculations. In addition, a mild catalytic procedure has been developed where the copper nitrene precursors enable the C-H amination of cyclohexane and toluene and the aziridination of styrenes.

Abstract
This work presents for the first time the impact of relativistic effects on the Cu2O2 peroxide dicopper(ii)-bis(μ-oxo) dicopper (iii) equilibrium bonding motif in existing tyrosinase model complexes [Cu2(btmgp)2(μ-O)2]2+ and [Cu2{HC(tBuPz)2Py}2(O2)]2+ [S. Herres et al., Inorg. Chim. Acta, 2005, 358, 1089; S. Herres-Pawlis et al., Eur. J. Inorg. Chem., 2005, 3815; A. Hoffmann et al., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2013, 52, 5398]. We use density functional theory (TPSSh/cc-pVTZ+D3BJ) with various relativistic approaches (ECPs, DKH, ZORA) to tackle the question of impact and find, as already known for small model complexes in the literature, that the O core is more stabilized with respect to the P core by the relativistic influence [D. G. Liakos and F. Neese, J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2011, 7, 1511]. Whereas DKH and ZORA yield similar results, ECPs underestimate the predicted effect. By calculating the functional of the relativistic overlap change, we can exactly identify the relativistic changes at the molecular orbital level and narrow down the affected MOs. Thus, by performing a detailed bond analysis utilizing the overlap population, we are able to rationalize the effects at the chemical level by finding relativistic bond stabilization in both isomers, which is more dominating in the O core. In conclusion, relativistic effects already play an important role in dicopper cores and should be considered.

Abstract
Tyrosinase model systems pinpoint pathways to translating Nature's synthetic abilities for useful synthetic catalysts. Mostly, they use N-donor ligands which mimic the histidine residues coordinating the two copper centres. Copper complexes with bis(pyrazolyl)methanes with pyridinyl or imidazolyl moieties are already reported as excellent tyrosinase models. Substitution of the pyridinyl donor results in the new ligand HC(3-tBuPz)2 (4-CO2 MePy) which stabilises a room-temperature stable μ-η2 :η2 -peroxide dicopper(II) species upon oxygenation. It reveals highly efficient catalytic activity as it hydroxylates 8-hydroxyquinoline in high yields (TONs of up to 20) and much faster than all other model systems (max. conversion within 7.5 min). Stoichiometric reactions with para-substituted sodium phenolates show saturation kinetics which are nearly linear for electron-rich substrates. The resulting Hammett correlation proves the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate the influence of the substituent at the pyridinyl donor: the carboxymethyl group adjusts the basicity and nucleophilicity without additional steric demand. This substitution opens up new pathways in reactivity tuning.

Multi-level meta-workflows: new concept for regularly occurring tasks in quantum chemistry. J Cheminform 2016; 8:58.

Abstract
Background
In Quantum Chemistry, many tasks are reoccurring frequently, e.g. geometry optimizations, benchmarking series etc. Here, workflows can help to reduce the time of manual job definition and output extraction. These workflows are executed on computing infrastructures and may require large computing and data resources. Scientific workflows hide these infrastructures and the resources needed to run them. It requires significant efforts and specific expertise to design, implement and test these workflows. Significance Many of these workflows are complex and monolithic entities that can be used for particular scientific experiments. Hence, their modification is not straightforward and it makes almost impossible to share them. To address these issues we propose developing atomic workflows and embedding them in meta-workflows. Atomic workflows deliver a well-defined research domain specific function. Publishing workflows in repositories enables workflow sharing inside and/or among scientific communities. We formally specify atomic and meta-workflows in order to define data structures to be used in repositories for uploading and sharing them. Additionally, we present a formal description focused at orchestration of atomic workflows into meta-workflows. Conclusions We investigated the operations that represent basic functionalities in Quantum Chemistry, developed the relevant atomic workflows and combined them into meta-workflows. Having these workflows we defined the structure of the Quantum Chemistry workflow library and uploaded these workflows in the SHIWA Workflow Repository.Meta-workflows and embedded workflows in the template representation ![]() Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13321-016-0169-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Optical response of the Cu2 S2 diamond core in Cu2II(NGuaS)2 Cl2. J Comput Chem 2016; 37:2181-92.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations are presented for the dicopper thiolate complex Cu2 (NGuaS)2 Cl2 [NGuaS=2-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino) benzenethiolate] with a special focus on the bonding mechanism of the Cu2 S2 Cl2 core and the spectroscopic response. This complex is relevant for the understanding of dicopper redox centers, for example, the CuA center. Its UV/Vis absorption is theoretically studied and found to be similar to other structural CuA models. The spectrum can be roughly divided in the known regions of metal d-d absorptions and metal to ligand charge transfer regions. Nevertheless the chloride ions play an important role as electron donors, with the thiolate groups as electron acceptors. The bonding mechanism is dissected by means of charge decomposition analysis which reveals the large covalency of the Cu2 S2 diamond core mediated between Cu dz2 and S-S π and π* orbitals forming Cu-S σ bonds. Measured resonant Raman spectra are shown for 360- and 720-nm excitation wavelength and interpreted using the calculated vibrational eigenmodes and frequencies. The calculations help to rationalize the varying resonant behavior at different optical excitations. Especially the phenylene rings are only resonant for 720 nm. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
