Abstract
Metalloenzymes with heteromultimetallic active sites perform chemical reactions that control several biogeochemical cycles. Transformations catalyzed by such enzymes include dioxygen generation and reduction, dinitrogen reduction, and carbon dioxide reduction-instrumental transformations for progress in the context of artificial photosynthesis and sustainable fertilizer production. While the roles of the respective metals are of interest in all these enzymatic transformations, they share a common factor in the transfer of one or multiple redox equivalents. In light of this feature, it is surprising to find that incorporation of redox-inactive metals into the active site of such an enzyme is critical to its function. To illustrate, the presence of a redox-inactive Ca2+ center is crucial in the Oxygen Evolving Complex, and yet particularly intriguing given that the transformation catalyzed by this cluster is a redox process involving four electrons. Therefore, the effects of redox inactive metals on redox processes-electron transfer, oxygen- and hydrogen-atom transfer, and O-O bond cleavage and formation reactions-mediated by transition metals have been studied extensively. Significant effects of redox inactive metals have been observed on these redox transformations; linear free energy correlations between Lewis acidity and the redox properties of synthetic model complexes are observed for several reactions. In this Perspective, these effects and their relevance to multielectron processes will be discussed.

Abstract
Cations such as Lewis acids have been shown to enhance the catalytic activity of high-valent Fe-oxygen intermediates. Herein, we present a pyridine diamine ethylene glycol macrocycle, which can form Zn(II)- or Fe(III)-complex with the NNN site, while allowing redox-inactive cations to bind to the ethylene glycol moiety. The addition of alkali, alkali earth, and lanthanum ions resulted in positive shifts to the Fe(III/II) redox potential. Calculation of dissociation constants showed the tightest binding with a Ba2+ ion. Density functional theory calculations were used to elucidate the effects of redox inactive cations toward the electronic structures of Fe complexes. Although the Fe-NNN complexes, both in the absence and presence of cations, can catalyze C-H oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene, to give anthracene [hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) product], anthrone, and anthraquinone [oxygen atom transfer (OAT) products], highest overall activity and OAT/HAT product ratios were obtained in the presence of dications, that is, Ba2+ and Mg2+, respectively.

Abstract
The activation of metal-oxo species with Lewis acids is of current interest. In this work, the effects of a weak Brønsted acid such as CH3CO2H and a weak Lewis acid such as Ca2+ on C–H bond activation by KMnO4 have been investigated. Although MnO4− is rather non-basic (pKa of MnO3(OH) = −2.25), it can be activated by AcOH or Ca2+ to oxidize cyclohexane at room temperature to give cyclohexanone as the major product. A synergistic effect occurs when both AcOH and Ca2+ are present; the relative rates for the oxidation of cyclohexane by MnO4−/AcOH, MnO4−/Ca2+ and MnO4−/AcOH/Ca2+ are 1 : 73 : 198. DFT calculations show that in the active intermediate of MnO4−/AcOH/Ca2+, MnO4− is H-bonded to 3 AcOH molecules, while Ca2+ is bonded to 3 AcOH molecules as well as to an oxo ligand of MnO4−. Our results also suggest that these synergistic activating effects of a weak Brønsted acid and a weak Lewis acid should be applicable to a variety of metal-oxo species. The activation of metal-oxo species with Lewis acids is of current interest.![]()
