Abstract
In addition to its primary oxygen-atom-transfer function, cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) exhibits a relatively understudied anaerobic disproportionation reaction (ADO-Fe(III)-SR → ADO-Fe(II) + ½ RSSR) with its native substrates. Inspired by ADO disproportionation reactivity, we employ [Fe(tacn)Cl3] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) as a precursor for generating Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes in buffered aqueous media. A series of Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes are generated in situ using aqueous [Fe(tacn)Cl3] and thiol-containing ligands cysteamine, penicillamine, mercaptopropionate, cysteine, cysteine methyl ester, N-acetylcysteine, and N-acetylcysteine methyl ester. We observe trends in UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, disproportionation rate constants, and cathodic peak potentials as a function of thiol ligand. These trends will be useful in rationalizing substrate-dependent Fe(III)-thiolate disproportionation reactions in metalloenzymes.

Abstract
A new alkylthiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex, FeII(BNPAMe2S)Br (1), is reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 at -40 °C, or reaction of the ferric form with O2•- at -80 °C, gives a rare iron(III)-superoxide intermediate, [FeIII(O2)(BNPAMe2S)]+ (2), characterized by UV-vis, 57Fe Mössbauer, ATR-FTIR, EPR, and CSIMS. Metastable 2 then converts to an S-oxygenated FeII(sulfinate) product via a sequential O atom transfer mechanism involving an iron-sulfenate intermediate. These results provide evidence for the feasibility of proposed intermediates in thiol dioxygenases.

Abstract
Comparative reactivity of a series of new Zn(II) and Fe(II) compounds, [(Py2ald)M(ER)] (E = S, R = Ph: M = Zn, 1aZn; M = Fe, 1aFe; E = S, R = 2,6-Me2-C6H3: M = Zn, 1bZn; M = Fe, 1bFe; E = Se, R = Ph: M = Zn, 2Zn; M = Fe, 2Fe), and [(Py2ald)M]22+ (M = Zn, 5Zn; M = Fe, 5Fe) is presented. Compound 1aZn could react with nitrite (NO2-) to produce [(Py2ald)Zn(ONO)] (3Zn), which, upon treatment with thiols and PhSeH (proton source), could regenerate either 1aZn/5Zn and 2Zn respectively, along with the production of nitric oxide (NO) where the yield of NO increases in the order tBuSH ≪ PhCH2SH < PhSH < PhSeH. In contrast to this, 1aFe, 2Fe and 5Fe could affect the direct reduction of NO2- in the absence of protons to generate NO and [{(Py2ald)(ONO)Fe}2-μ2-O] (8Fe). Moreover, 8Fe could regenerate 5Fe and 1aFe/2Fe upon treatment with 4 and 6 equiv. of PhEH (E = S/Se), respectively, along with the generation of NO. Finally, a comparative study of the mononuclear Zn(II) and Fe(II) compounds for the transfer of the coordinated thiolate/selenolate and the generation and transfer of reactive sulfur/selenium species (RES-, E = Se, S) to a series of organic substrates has been provided.

Abstract
A five-coordinate, disiloxide-ligated cobalt(II) (S = 3/2) complex (1) was prepared as an oxygen-ligated analogue to the previously reported silanedithiolate-ligated CoII(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2019, 141, 3641-3653). The structural and spectroscopic properties of 1 were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and NMR spectroscopies. The reactivity of 1 with dioxygen was examined, and it was shown to bind O2 reversibly in a range of solvents at low temperatures. A cobalt(III)-superoxo complex, CoIII(O2·-)(Me3TACN)((OSi2Ph)2O) (2), was generated, and was analyzed by UV-vis, EPR, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Unlike its sulfur-ligated analogue, complex 2 can thermally release O2 to regenerate 1. Vibrational assignments for selective 18O isotopic labeling of both O2 and disiloxide ligands in 2 are consistent with a 6-coordinate, Co(η1-O2·-)("end-on") complex. Complex 2 reacts with the O-H bond of 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol (4-MeO-TEMPOH) via H-atom abstraction with a rate of 0.58(2) M-1 s-1 at -105 °C, but it is unable to oxidize phenol substrates. This bracketed reactivity suggests that the O-H bond being formed in the putative CoIII(OOH) product has a relatively weak O-H bond strength (BDFE ∼66-74 kcal mol-1). These thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are similar to those seen for the sulfur-ligated Co(O2)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2), indicating that the differences in the electronic structure for O versus S ligation do not have a large impact on H-atom abstraction reactivity.

Abstract
Cysteine dioxygenation is an important step in the metabolism of toxic L-cysteine (Cys) in the human body, carried out by cysteine dioxygenase enzyme (CDO). The disruption of this process is found to elicit neurological health issues. This work reports a computational investigation of mechanistic aspects of this reaction, using a recently reported tris(2-pyridyl)methane-based biomimetic model complex of CDO. The computed results indicate that, the initial SO2 bond formation process is the slowest step in the S-dioxygenation process, possessing an activation barrier of 12.7 kcal/mol. The remaining steps were found to be downhill requiring very small activation energies. The transition states were found to undergo spin crossover between triplet and quintet states, while the singlet surface remained unstable throughout the entire reaction. In essence, the mechanistic scheme and multistate reactivity pattern together with the relatively small computed rate-limiting activation barrier as well as the exothermic formation energy demonstrate that the model complex is an efficient biomimetic CDO model. In addition, the study also substantiates the involvement of Fe(IV)oxido intermediates in the mechanism of S-dioxygenation by the chosen model complex. The insights derived from the O2 activation process might pave way for development of more accurate CDO model catalysts that might be capable of even more efficiently mimicking the geometric, spectroscopic and functional features of the CDO enzyme.

Abstract
Herein, we examine the electronic and geometric structural properties of O2-derived aliphatic thiolate-ligated Fe-peroxo, Fe-hydroxo, and Fe(IV) oxo compounds. The latter cleaves strong C-H bonds (96 kcal mol-1) on par with the valine C-H bond cleaved by isopencillin N synthase (IPNS). Stopped-flow kinetics studies indicate that the barrier to O2 binding to [FeII(SMe2N4(tren))]+ (3) is extremely low (Ea = 36(2) kJ mol-1), as theoretically predicted for IPNS. Dioxygen binding to 3 is shown to be reversible, and a superoxo intermediate, [FeIII(SMe2N4(tren))(O2)]+ (6), forms in the first 25 ms of the reaction at -40 °C prior to the rate-determining (Ea = 46(2) kJ mol-1) formation of peroxo-bridged [(SMe2N4(tren))Fe(III)]2(μ-O2)2+ (7). A log(kobs) vs log([Fe]) plot for the formation of 7 is consistent with the second-order dependence on iron, and H2O2 assays are consistent with a 2:1 ratio of Fe/H2O2. Peroxo 7 is shown to convert to ferric-hydroxo [FeIII(SMe2N(tren))(OH)]+ (9, g⊥ = 2.24, g∥ = 1.96), the identity of which was determined via its independent synthesis. Rates of the conversion 7 → 9 are shown to be dependent on the X-H bond strength of the H-atom donor, with a kH/kD = 4 when CD3OD is used in place of CH3OH as a solvent. A crystallographically characterized cis thiolate-ligated high-valent iron oxo, [FeIV(O)(SMe2N4(tren))]+ (11), is shown to form en route to hydroxo 9. Electronic structure calculations were shown to be consistent with 11 being an S = 1 Fe(IV)═O with an unusually high νFe-O stretching frequency at 918 cm-1 in line with the extremely short Fe-O bond (1.603(7) Å).

Abstract
A new structurally characterized ferrous corrole [FeII (ttppc)]- (1) binds one equivalent of dioxygen to form [FeIII (O2-. )(ttppc)]- (2). This complex exhibits a 16/18 O2 -isotope sensitive ν(O-O) stretch at 1128 cm-1 concomitantly with a single ν(Fe-O2 ) at 555 cm-1 , indicating it is an η1 -superoxo ("end-on") iron(III) complex. Complex 2 is the first well characterized Fe-O2 corrole, and mediates the following biologically relevant oxidation reactions: dioxygenation of an indole derivative, and H-atom abstraction from an activated O-H bond.

Abstract
The activation of O2 at thiolate-ligated iron(II) sites is essential to the function of numerous metalloenzymes and synthetic catalysts. Iron-thiolate bonds in the active sites of nonheme iron enzymes arise from either coordination of an endogenous cysteinate residue or binding of a deprotonated thiol-containing substrate. Examples of the latter include sulfoxide synthases, such as EgtB and OvoA, that utilize O2 to catalyze tandem S-C bond formation and S-oxygenation steps in thiohistidine biosyntheses. We recently reported the preparation of two mononuclear nonheme iron-thiolate complexes (1 and 2) that serve as structural active-site models of substrate-bound EgtB and OvoA (Dalton Trans. 2020, 49, 17745-17757). These models feature monodentate thiolate ligands and tripodal N4 ligands with mixed pyridyl/imidazolyl donors. Here, we describe the reactivity of 1 and 2 with O2 at low temperatures to give metastable intermediates (3 and 4, respectively). Characterization with multiple spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis absorption, NMR, variable-field and -temperature Mössbauer, and resonance Raman) revealed that these intermediates are thiolate-ligated iron(III) dimers with a bridging oxo ligand derived from the four-electron reduction of O2. Structural models of 3 and 4 consistent with the experimental data were generated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The combined experimental and computational results illuminate the geometric and electronic origins of the unique spectral features of diiron(III)-μ-oxo complexes with thiolate ligands, and the spectroscopic signatures of 3 and 4 are compared to those of closely-related diiron(III)-μ-peroxo species. Collectively, these results will assist in the identification of intermediates that appear on the O2 reaction landscapes of iron-thiolate species in both biological and synthetic environments.

Abstract
The O-O bond length is often used as a structural indicator to determine the valence states of bound O2 ligands in biological metal-dioxygen intermediates and related biomimetic complexes. Here, we report very distinct O-O bond lengths found for three crystallographic forms (1.229(4), 1.330(4), 1.387(2) Å at 100 K) of a side-on iron-dioxygen species. Despite their different O-O bond distances, all forms possess the same electronic structure of Fe(III)-O2 •-, as evidenced by their indistinguishable spectroscopic features. Density functional theory and ab initio calculations, which successfully reproduce spectroscopic parameters, predict a flat potential energy surface of an η2-O2 motif binding to the iron center regarding the O-O distance. Therefore, the discrete O-O bond lengths observed likely arise from differential intermolecular interactions in the second coordination sphere. The work suggests that the O-O distance is not a reliable benchmark to unequivocally identify the valence state of O2 ligands for metal-dioxygen species in O2-utilizing metalloproteins and synthetic complexes.

Abstract
S-Oxygenation of thiophenolate bridges by ethereal hydroperoxides was studied. [NiII2LS(PhCO2)]+ (1), where LS = macrocyclic aminethiolate supporting ligand, is S-oxygenated readily in a mixed methanol/acetonitrile solution with ether/dioxygen at room temperature in the presence of daylight. The reactions were found to depend strongly on the choice of the ether. Uptake of two O atoms occurs in dioxane to give a mixed thiolate/sulfinate complex [NiII2LSO2(PhCO2)]+ (2) containing the rare five-membered Ni(μ1,1-S)(μ1,2-OS)Ni core. In tetrahydrofuran, four O atoms are taken up by 1 to generate the bis(sulfinate) species [NiII2LSO4(PhCO2)]+ (3). A mono-S-oxygenated sulfenate intermediate can be detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The oxygenation reactions proceed in high yields without complex disintegration and invariably provide μ1,2-bridging sulfinates as established by spectroscopy (IR and UV/vis), X-ray crystallography, and accompanying density functional theory calculations. The oxygenation of the S atoms has a strong impact on the electronic structures of the nickel complexes. The monosulfinate complex 2 has an S = 2 ground state resulting from moderate ferromagnetic exchange coupling interactions (J = +15.7 cm-1; H = -2JS1S2), while an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction in 3 shows the presence of a ground state with spin S = 0 (J = -0.56 cm-1).

Abstract
Superoxide (O2•-) is a toxic radical, generated via the adventitious reduction of dioxygen (O2), which has been implicated in a number of human disease states. Nonheme iron enzymes, superoxide reductase (SOR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), detoxify O2•- via reduction to afford H2O2 and disproportionation to afford O2 and H2O2, respectively. The former contains a thiolate in the coordination sphere, which has been proposed to prevent O2•- oxidation to O2. The work described herein shows that, in contrast to this, oxidized thiolate-ligated [FeIII(SMe2N4(tren)(THF)]2+ (1ox-THF) is capable of oxidizing O2•- to O2. Coordinating anions, Cl- and OAc-, are shown to inhibit dioxygen evolution, implicating an inner-sphere mechanism. Previously we showed that the reduced thiolate-ligated [FeII(SMe2N4(tren))]+ (1) is capable of reducing O2•- via a proton-dependent inner-sphere mechanism involving a transient Fe(III)-OOH intermediate. A transient ferric-superoxo intermediate, [FeIII(SMe2N4(tren))(O2)]+ (3), is detected by electronic absorption spectroscopy at -130 °C in the reaction between 1ox-THF and KO2 and shown to evolve O2 upon slight warming to -115 °C. The DFT calculated O-O (1.306 Å) and Fe-O (1.943 Å) bond lengths of 3 are typical of ferric-superoxo complexes, and the time-dependent DFT calculated electronic absorption spectrum of 3 reproduces the experimental spectrum. The electronic structure of 3 is shown to consist of two antiferromagnetically coupled (Jcalc = -180 cm-1) unpaired electrons, one in a superoxo π*(O-O) orbital and the other in an antibonding π*(Fe(dyz)-S(py)) orbital.

Abstract
Reaction of the five-coordinate FeII(N4S) complexes, [FeII(iPr3TACN)(abtX)](OTf) (abt = aminobenzenethiolate, X = H, CF3), with a one-electron oxidant and an appropriate base leads to net H atom loss, generating new FeIII(iminobenzenethiolate) complexes that were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as UV-vis, EPR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The spectroscopic data indicate that the iminobenzenethiolate complexes have S = 3/2 ground states. In the absence of a base, oxidation of the FeII(abt) complexes leads to disulfide formation instead of oxidation at the metal center. Bracketing studies with separated proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reagents show that the FeII(aminobenzenethiolate) and FeIII(iminobenzenethiolate) forms are readily interconvertible by H+/e- transfer and provide a measure of the bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) for the coordinated N-H bond between 64 and 69 kcal mol-1. This work shows that coordination to the iron center causes a dramatic weakening of the N-H bond and that Fe- versus S-oxidation in a nonheme iron complex can be controlled by the protonation state of an ancillary amino donor.

Abstract
Two mononuclear iron(ii)-thiolate complexes have been prepared that represent structural models of the nonheme iron enzymes EgtB and OvoA, which catalyze the O2-dependent formation of carbon-sulfur bonds in the biosynthesis of thiohistidine compounds. The series of Fe(ii) complexes reported here feature tripodal N4 chelates (LA and LB) that contain both pyridyl and imidazolyl donors (LA = (1H-imidazol-4-yl)-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)methanamine; LB = N,N-bis((1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methyl)-2-pyridylmethylamine). Further coordination with monodentate aromatic or aliphatic thiolate ligands yielded the five-coordinate, high-spin Fe(ii) complexes [FeII(LA)(SMes)]BPh4 (1) and [FeII(LB)(SCy)]BPh4 (2), where SMes = 2,4,6-trimethylthiophenolate and SCy = cyclohexanethiolate. X-ray crystal structures revealed that 1 and 2 possess trigonal bipyramidal geometries formed by the N4S ligand set. In each case, the thiolate ligand is positioned cis to an imidazole donor, replicating the arrangement of Cys- and His-based substrates in the active site of EgtB. The geometric and electronic structures of 1 and 2 were analyzed with UV-vis absorption and Mössbauer spectroscopies in tandem with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Exposure of 1 and 2 to nitric oxide (NO) yielded six-coordinate FeNO adducts that were characterized with infrared and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, confirming that these complexes are capable of binding diatomic molecules. Reaction of 1 and 2 with O2 causes oxidation of the thiolate ligands to disulfide products. The implications of these results for the development of functional models of EgtB and OvoA are discussed.

Abstract
The design of biomimetic model complexes for the cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) is reported, where the 3-His coordination of the iron ion is simulated by three pyrazole donors of a trispyrazolyl borate ligand (Tp) and protected cysteine and cysteamine represent substrate ligands. It is found that the replacement of phenyl groups-attached at the 3-positions of the pyrazole units in a previous model-by mesityl residues has massive consequences, as the latter arrange to a more spacious reaction pocket. Thus, the reaction with O2 proceeds much faster and afterwards the first structural characterization of an iron(II) η2 -O,O-sulfinate product became possible. If one of the three Tp-mesityl groups is placed in the 5-position, an even larger reaction pocket results, which leads to yet faster rates and accumulation of a reaction intermediate at low temperatures, as shown by UV/Vis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. After comparison with the results of investigations on the cobalt analogues this intermediate is tentatively assigned to an iron(III) superoxide species.

Abstract
The well-known dinuclear [FeFe] and [NiFe] hydrogenase enzymes are redox-based proton reduction and H2 oxidation catalysts. In comparison, the structural and functional aspects of the mononuclear nonredox hydrogenase, known as [Fe]-hydrogenase or Hmd, have been less explored because of the relatively recent crystallographic elucidation of the enzyme active site. Additionally, the synthetic challenges posed by the highly substituted and asymmetric coordination environment of the iron guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor have hampered functional biomimetic modeling studies to a large extent. The active site contains an octahedral low-spin Fe(II) center with the following coordination motifs: a bidentate acyl-pyridone moiety (C,N) and cysteinyl-S in a facial arrangement; two cis carbonyl ligands; and a H2O/H2 binding site. In [Fe]-hydrogenase, heterolytic H2 activation putatively by the pendant pyridone/pyridonate-O base serving as a proton acceptor. Following H2 cleavage, an intermediate Fe-H species is thought to stereoselectively transfer a hydride to the substrate methenyl-H4MPT+, thus forming methylene-H4MPT. In the past decade, chemists, inspired by the elegant organometallic chemistry inherent to the FeGP cofactor, have synthesized a number of faithful structural models. However, functional systems are still relatively limited and often rely on abiological ligands or metal centers that obfuscate a direct correlation to nature's design.Our group has developed a bioinspired suite of synthetic analogues of Hmd to better understand the effects of structure on the stability and functionality of the Hmd active site, with a special emphasis on using a scaffold-based ligand design. This systematic approach has contributed to a deeper understanding of the unique ligand array of [Fe]-hydrogenase in nature and has ultimately resulted in the first functional synthetic models without the aid of abiological ligands. This Account reviews the reactivity of the functional anthracene-scaffolded synthetic models developed by our group in the context of current mechanistic understanding drawn from both protein crystallography and computational studies. Furthermore, we introduce a novel thermodynamic framework to place the reactivity of our model systems in context and provide an outlook on the future study of [Fe]-hydrogenase synthetic models through both a structural and functional lens.

Abstract
The activation of dioxygen by FeII(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) is reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 at -135 °C in 2-MeTHF generates a thiolate-ligated (peroxo)diiron complex FeIII2(O2)(Me3TACN)2(S2SiMe2)2 (2) that was characterized by UV-vis (λmax = 300, 390, 530, 723 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.53, |ΔEQ| = 0.76 mm s-1), resonance Raman (RR) (ν(O-O) = 849 cm-1), and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopies. Complex 2 is distinct from the outer-sphere oxidation product 1ox (UV-vis (λmax = 435, 520, 600 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.45, |ΔEQ| = 3.6 mm s-1), and EPR (S = 5/2, g = [6.38, 5.53, 1.99])), obtained by one-electron oxidation of 1. Cleavage of the peroxo O-O bond can be initiated either photochemically or thermally to produce a new species assigned as an FeIV(O) complex, FeIV(O)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (3), which was identified by UV-vis (λmax = 385, 460, 890 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.21, |ΔEQ| = 1.57 mm s-1), RR (ν(FeIV═O) = 735 cm-1), and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, as well as reactivity patterns. Reaction of 3 at low temperature with H atom donors gives a new species, FeIII(OH)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (4). Complex 4 was independently synthesized from 1 by the stoichiometric addition of a one-electron oxidant and a hydroxide source. This work provides a rare example of dioxygen activation at a mononuclear nonheme iron(II) complex that produces both FeIII-O-O-FeIII and FeIV(O) species in the same reaction with O2. It also demonstrates the feasibility of forming Fe/O2 intermediates with strongly donating sulfur ligands while avoiding immediate sulfur oxidation.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a Co(II) dithiolato complex Co(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) are reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 generates a rare thiolate-ligated cobalt-superoxo species Co(O2)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (2) that was characterized spectroscopically and structurally by resonance Raman, EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies as well as density functional theory. Metal-superoxo species are proposed to S-oxygenate metal-bound thiolate donors in nonheme thiol dioxygenases, but 2 does not lead to S-oxygenation of the intramolecular thiolate donors and does not react with exogenous sulfur donors. However, complex 2 is capable of oxidizing the O-H bonds of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol derivatives via H atom abstraction. Complementary proton-coupled electron-transfer reactivity is seen for 2 with separated proton/reductant pairs. The reactivity studies indicate that 2 can abstract H atoms from weak X-H bonds with bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) ≤ 70 kcal mol-1. DFT calculations predict that the putative Co(OOH) product has an O-H BDFE = 67 kcal mol-1, which matches the observed pattern of reactivity seen for 2. These data provide new information regarding the selectivity of S-oxygenation versus H atom abstraction in thiolate-ligated nonheme metalloenzymes that react with O2.

Abstract
Herein, we describe an alkyl thiolate-ligated iron complex that reacts with dioxygen to form an unprecedented example of an iron superoxo (O2•-) intermediate, [FeIII(S2Me2N3(Pr,Pr))(O2)] (4), which is capable of cleaving strong C-H bonds. A cysteinate-ligated iron superoxo intermediate is proposed to play a key role in the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics by isopenicillin N-synthase (IPNS). Superoxo 4 converts to a metastable putative Fe(III)-OOH intermediate, at rates that are dependent on the C-H bond strength of the H atom donor, with a kinetic isotope effect ( kH/ kD = 4.8) comparable to that of IPNS ( kH/ kD = 5.6). The bond dissociation energy of the C-H bonds cleaved by 4 (92 kcal/mol) is comparable to C-H bonds cleaved by IPNS (93 kcal/mol). Both the calculated and experimental electronic absorption spectra of 4 are comparable to those of the putative IPNS superoxo intermediate, and are shown to involve RS- → Fe-O2•- and O2•- → Fe charge transfer transitions. The π-back-donation by the electron-rich alkyl thiolate presumably facilitates this reactivity by increasing the basicity of the distal oxygen. The frontier orbitals of 4 are shown to consist of two strongly coupled unpaired electrons of opposite spin, one in a superoxo π*(O-O) orbital, and the other in an Fe(d xy) orbital.

Abstract
The synthesis of four new FeII(N4S(thiolate)) complexes as models of the thiol dioxygenases are described. They are composed of derivatives of the neutral, tridentate ligand triazacyclononane (R3TACN; R = Me, iPr) and 2-aminobenzenethiolate (abtx; X = H, CF3), a non-native substrate for thiol dioxygenases. The coordination number of these complexes depends on the identity of the TACN derivative, giving 6-coordinate (6-coord) complexes for FeII(Me3TACN)(abtx)(OTf) (1: X = H; 2: X = CF3) and 5-coordinate (5-coord) complexes for [FeII(iPr3TACN)(abtx)](OTf) (3: X = H; 4: X = CF3). Complexes 1-4 were examined by UV-vis, 1H/19F NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to support the data. Mössbauer spectroscopy reveals that the 6-coord 1-2 and 5-coord 3- 4 exhibit distinct spectra, and these data are compared with that for cysteine-bound CDO, helping to clarify the coordination environment of the cys-bound FeII active site. Reaction of 1 or 2 with O2 at -95 °C leads to S-oxygenation of the abt ligand, and in the case of 2, a rare di(sulfinato)-bridged complex, [Fe2III(μ-O)((2-NH2) p-CF3C6H3SO2)2](OTf)2 ( 5), was obtained. Parallel enzymatic studies on the CDO variant C93G were carried out with the abt substrate and show that reaction with O2 leads to disulfide formation, as opposed to S-oxygenation. The combined model and enzyme studies show that the thiol dioxygenases can operate via a 6-coord FeII center, in contrast to the accepted mechanism for nonheme iron dioxygenases, and that proper substrate chelation to Fe appears to be critical for S-oxygenation.
