Abstract
Ni-containing superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) represents an unusual member of the SOD family due to the presence of oxygen-sensitive Ni-SCys bonds at its active site. Reported in this account is the synthesis and properties of the NiII complex of the N3S2 ligand [N3S2Me2]3- ([N3S2Me2]3- = deprotonated form of 2-((2-mercapto-2-methylpropyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-N-(2-mercaptoethyl)acetamide), namely Na[Ni(N3S2Me2)] (2), as a NiSOD model that features sterically robust gem-(CH3)2 groups on the thiolate α-C positioned trans to the carboxamide. The crystal structure of 2, coupled with spectroscopic measurements from 1H NMR, X-ray absorption, IR, UV-vis, and mass spectrometry (MS), reveal a planar NiII (S = 0) ion coordinated by only the N2S2 basal donors of the N3S2 ligand. While the structure and spectroscopic properties of 2 resemble those of NiSODred and other models, the asymmetric S ligands open up new reaction paths upon chemical oxidation. One unusual oxidation product is the planar NiII-N3S complex [Ni(Lox)] (5; Lox = 2-(5,5-dimethyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazolidin-3-yl)-N-(2-mercaptoethyl)acetamide), where two-electron oxidation takes place at the substituted thiolate and py-CH2 carbon to generate a thiazolidine heterocycle. Electrochemical measurements of 2 reveal irreversible events wholly consistent with thiolate redox, which were identified by comparison to the ZnII complex Na[Zn(N3S2Me2)] (3). Although no reaction is observed between 2 and azide, reaction of 2 with superoxide produces multiple products on the basis of UV-vis and MS data, one of which is 5. Density functional theory (DFT) computations suggest that the HOMO in 2 is π* with primary contributions from Ni-dπ/S-pπ orbitals. These contributions can be modulated and biased toward Ni when electron-withdrawing groups are placed on the thiolate α-C. Analysis of the oxidized five-coordinate species 2ox* by DFT reveal a singly occupied spin-up (α) MO that is largely thiolate based, which supports the proposed NiIII-thiolate/NiII-thiyl radical intermediates that ultimately yield 5 and other products.

Abstract
The most recently discovered SOD requires nickel in its active site – NiSOD. Among the available metals, nickel seems an unlikely redox center. This chapter discusses the protein adaptations required in order to use nickel for SOD catalysis. Cysteine ligands are employed for the first time in an SOD, to suppress the potential of the Ni(ii/iii) couple. However, this adaptation alone is not sufficient to produce an SOD, since thiolate ligands are sensitive to oxidation by H2O2 and O2. Additional adaptations include the use of two unusual backbone N-donor ligands, an amidate and the N-terminal amine. Yet merely producing a stable Ni redox center is not sufficient for SOD catalysis. A source of protons is needed to produce H2O2 and the pH-independent catalysis that is characteristic of SODs. Thus, the cysteine thiolates were also employed to provide a site for protonation. In restricting active site access, NiSOD appears to have utilized the same strategy employed by MnSOD and FeSOD – a “gateway” formed by Tyr residues. Thus, NiSOD represents evolution that converged on the same criteria for catalysis as other SODs, where the adaptations to the metal site are uniquely suited to using nickel as a redox center.

Abstract
The complex Na3[{NiII(nmp)}3S3BTAalk)] (1) (nmp2- = deprotonated form of N-(2-mercaptoethyl)picolinamide; H3S3BTAalk = N1,N3,N5-tris(2-mercaptoethyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide, where H = dissociable protons), supported by the thiolate-benzenetricarboxamide scaffold (S3BTAalk), has been synthesized as a trimetallic model of nickel-containing superoxide dismutase (NiSOD). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and 1H NMR measurements on 1 indicate that the NiII centers are square-planar with N2S2 coordination, and Ni-N and Ni-S distances of 1.95 and 2.16 Å, respectively. Additional evidence from IR indicates the presence of H-bonds in 1 from the approximately -200 cm-1 shift in νNH from free ligand. The presence of H-bonds allows for speciation that is temperature-, concentration-, and solvent-dependent. In unbuffered water and at low temperature, a dimeric complex (1A; λ = 410 nm) that aggregates through intermolecular NH···O═C bonds of BTA units is observed. Dissolution of 1 in pH 7.4 buffer or in unbuffered water at temperatures above 50 °C results in monomeric complex (1M; λ = 367 nm) linked through intramolecular NH···S bonds. DFT computations indicate a low energy barrier between 1A and 1M with nearly identical frontier MOs and Ni-ligand metrics. Notably, 1A and 1M exhibit remarkable stability in protic solvents such as MeOH and H2O, in stark contrast to monometallic [NiII(nmp)(SR)]- complexes. The reactivity of 1 with excess O2, H2O2, and O2•- is species-dependent. IR and UV-vis reveal that 1A in MeOH reacts with excess O2 to yield an S-bound sulfinate, but does not react with O2•-. In contrast, 1M is stable to O2 in pH 7.4 buffer, but reacts with O2•- to yield a putative [NiII(nmp)(O2)]- complex from release of the BTA-thiolate based on EPR.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide (O2(• -)) into H2O2 and O2(g) by toggling through different oxidation states of a first-row transition metal ion at its active site. Ni-containing SODs (NiSODs) are a distinct class of this family of metalloenzymes due to the unusual coordination sphere that is comprised of mixed N/S-ligands from peptide-N and cysteine-S donor atoms. A central goal of our research is to understand the factors that govern reactive oxygen species (ROS) stability of the Ni-S(Cys) bond in NiSOD utilizing a synthetic model approach. In light of the reactivity of metal-coordinated thiolates to ROS, several hypotheses have been proffered and include the coordination of His1-Nδ to the Ni(II) and Ni(III) forms of NiSOD, as well as hydrogen bonding or full protonation of a coordinated S(Cys). In this work, we present NiSOD analogues of the general formula [Ni(N2S)(SR')](-), providing a variable location (SR' = aryl thiolate) in the N2S2 basal plane coordination sphere where we have introduced o-amino and/or electron-withdrawing groups to intercept an oxidized Ni species. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the NiSOD model complexes (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-o-NH2)] (2), (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-o-NH2-p-CF3)] (3), (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-p-NH2)] (4), and (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-p-CF3)] (5) (nmp(2-) = dianion of N-(2-mercaptoethyl)picolinamide) are reported. NiSOD model complexes with amino groups positioned ortho to the aryl-S in SR' (2 and 3) afford oxidized species (2(ox) and 3(ox)) that are best described as a resonance hybrid between Ni(III)-SR and Ni(II)-(•)SR based on ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results presented here, demonstrating the high percentage of S(3p) character in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the four-coordinate reduced form of NiSOD (NiSODred), suggest that the transition from NiSODred to the five-coordinate oxidized form of NiSOD (NiSODox) may go through a four-coordinate Ni-(•)S(Cys) (NiSODox-Hisoff) that is stabilized by coordination to Ni(II).

Abstract
A functional model complex of nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) with a non-peptide ligand which mimics the full catalytic cycle of NiSOD is unknown. Similarly, it has not been fully elucidated whether NiSOD activity is a result of an outer- or inner-sphere electron-transfer mechanism. With this in mind, two octahedral nickel(II)/(III) complexes of a bis-tridentate N2 S donor carboxamide ligand, N-2-phenylthiophenyl-2'-pyridinecarboxamide (HL(Ph)), have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and their SOD activities examined. These complexes mimic the full catalytic cycle of NiSOD. Electrochemical experiments support an outer-sphere electron-transfer mechanism for their SOD activity.
