Abstract
Aminophenol dioxygenases (APDO) are mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes that utilize dioxygen (O2) to catalyze the conversion of o-aminophenols to 2-picolinic acid derivatives in metabolic pathways. This study describes the synthesis and O2 reactivity of two synthetic models of substrate-bound APDO: [FeII(TpMe2)(tBu2APH)] (1) and [FeII(TpMe2)(tBuAPH)] (2), where TpMe2 = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-yl)borate, tBu2APH = 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-aminophenolate, and tBuAPH2 = 4-tert-butyl-2-aminophenolate. Both Fe(II) complexes behave as functional APDO mimics, as exposure to O2 results in oxidative CC bond cleavage of the o-aminophenolate ligand. The ring-cleaved products undergo spontaneous cyclization to give substituted 2-picolinic acids, as verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Reaction of the APDO models with O2 at low temperature reveals multiple intermediates, which were probed with UV-vis absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Mössbauer (MB), and resonance Raman (rRaman) spectroscopies. The most stable intermediate at -70 °C in THF exhibits multiple isotopically-sensitive features in rRaman samples prepared with 16O2 and 18O2, confirming incorporation of O2-derived atom(s) into its molecular structure. Insights into the geometric structures, electronic properties, and spectroscopic features of the observed intermediates were obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Although functional APDO models have been previously reported, this is the first time that an oxygenated ligand-based radical has been detected and spectroscopically characterized in the ring-cleaving mechanism of a relevant synthetic system.

Abstract
A uranyl(VI) complex with 2,6-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-phenolateaminomethyl)pyridine (UO2(tBu-pdaop), 1) was synthesized and thoroughly characterized by 1H NMR, IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal XRD. Right after the dissolution of complex 1 in pyridine or DMSO, the solution was pale red, whereas it gradually turned to dark purple under an ambient atmosphere. 1H NMR spectra at the initial and final states suggested that both of the two aminomethyl groups in 1 were converted to azomethine ones through aerobic oxidation. Indeed, a uranyl(VI) complex with 2,6-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-phenolateiminomethyl)pyridine (UO2(tBu-pdiop), 2) was obtained from the concentrated solution once the reaction was completed, and was characterized by IR, and single-crystal XRD. Kinetic analyses as well as mechanistic studies based on quantum chemical calculations suggested that hydrogen atom transfer from one of the amino groups in complex 1 to nearby O2 initiates the stepwise oxidation processes to finally afford 2. The present findings demonstrate the novel reactivity of a uranyl(VI) complex, and provide new insights to construct thermally-driven molecular conversion systems by a UO22+ complex catalyst.
