Reaction of Fe(CO)2(NO)2 and sparteine/tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in tetrahydrofuran afforded the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-silent, neutral {Fe(NO)2}10 dinitrosyliron complexes (DNICs) [(sparteine)Fe(NO)2] (1) and [(TMEDA)Fe(NO)2] (2), respectively. The stable and isolable anionic {Fe(NO)2}9 DNIC [(S(CH2)3S)Fe(NO)2]- (4), with a bidentate alkylthiolate coordinated to a {Fe(NO)(2)} motif, was prepared by the reaction of [S(CH2)3S]2- and the cationic {Fe(NO)2}9 [(sparteine)Fe(NO)2]+ (3) obtained from the reaction of complex 1 and [NO][BF4] in CH(3)CN. Transformation from the neutral complex 1 to the anionic complex 4 was verified via the cationic complex 3. Here complex 3 acts as an {Fe(NO)2}-donor reagent in the presence of thiolates. The EPR spectra of complexes 3 and 4 exhibit an isotropic signal with g = 2.032 and 2.031 at 298 K, respectively, the characteristic g value of {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs. On the basis of N-O/Fe-N(O) bond lengths of the single-crystal X-ray structures of the {Fe(NO)2}9/{Fe(NO)2}10 DNICs, the oxidation level of the {Fe(NO)2} core of DNICs can be unambiguously assigned. The mean N-O distances falling in the range of 1.214(6)-1.189(4) A and the Fe-N(O) bond distances in the range of 1.650(7)-1.638(3) A are assigned as the neutral {Fe(NO)(2)}(10) DNICs. In contrast, the mean N-O bond distances ranging from 1.178(3) to 1.160(6) A and the mean Fe-N(O) bond distances ranging from 1.695(3) to 1.661(4) A are assigned as the anionic/neutral/cationic {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs. In addition, an EPR spectrum in combination with the IR nu(NO) (the relative position of the nu(NO) stretching frequencies and their difference Deltanu(NO)) spectrum may serve as an efficient tool for discrimination of the existence of the anionic/cationic/neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs and the neutral {Fe(NO)2}10 DNICs.

The nitrosylated diiron complexes, Fe (NO) , of this study are interpreted as a mono-nitrosyl Fe(NO) unit, MNIU, within an N S ligand field that serves as a metallodithiolate ligand to a dinitrosyl iron unit, DNIU. The cationic Fe(NO)N S ⋅Fe(NO) complex, 1 , of Enemark-Feltham electronic notation {Fe(NO)} -{Fe(NO) } , is readily obtained via myriad synthetic routes, and shown to be spin coupled and diamagnetic. Its singly and doubly reduced forms, {Fe(NO)} -{Fe(NO) } , 1 , and {Fe(NO)} -{Fe(NO) } , 1 , were isolated and characterized.

Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are among the most abundant NO-derived cellular species. Monomeric DNICs can exist in the {Fe(NO)2}(9) or {Fe(NO)2}(10) oxidation state (in the Enemark-Feltham notation). However, experimental studies of analogous DNICs in both oxidation states are rare, which prevents a thorough understanding of the differences in the electronic structures of these species.

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in many physiological and pathological functions. Iron-sulfur proteins are one of the main reaction targets for NO, and the [Fe-S] clusters within these proteins are converted to various iron nitrosyl species upon reaction with NO, of which dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are the most prevalent. Much progress has been made in identifying the origin of cellular DNIC generation.

Metallodithiolate ligands are used to design heterobimetallic complexes by adduct formation through S-based reactivity. Such adducts of dinitrosyl iron were synthesized with two metalloligands, namely, Ni(bme-daco) and V≡O(bme-daco) (bme-daco = bismercaptoethane diazacyclooctane), and, for comparison, an N-heterocyclic carbene, namely, 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (Imes), by cleavage of the (μ-I)2[Fe(NO)2]2 dimer of electronic configuration {Fe(NO)2}(9) (Enemark-Feltham notation). With Fe(NO)2I as Lewis acid acceptor, 1:1 adducts resulted for both the IMes·Fe(NO)2I, complex 2, and V≡O(bme-daco)·Fe(NO)2I, complex 4.

Transformation of {Fe(NO)2}(10) dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) Fe(CO)2(NO)2 into [{Fe(NO)2}(9)]2 Roussin's red ester (RRE) [(μ-S(CH2)2NH2)Fe(NO)2]2 (3) triggered by cysteamine via the reaction pathway (intermediates) [{Fe(NO)2}(10)]2[(NO)2Fe(μ-CO)(μ-S(CH2)2NH3)Fe(NO)2] (1) → {Fe(NO)2}(9){Fe(NO)2}(10)[(NO)2Fe(μ-S(CH2)2NH2)(μ-S(CH2)2NH3)Fe(NO)2] (2) → RRE 3 is demonstrated. The 1-to-2-to-3 conversion is promoted by proton transfer followed by O2 oxidation and deprotonation. Additionally, a study on facile conversion of complex 3 to complexes [(SR)(S(CH2)2NH3)Fe(NO)2] [SR = 2-aminoethanethiolate (4), benzenethiolate (5)] and [(CysS))(S(CH2)2NH3)Fe(NO)2] (6) via reaction with thiols and the further utility of complex 5 as a template for synthesizing mixed-thiolate-containing reduced RRE (rRRE) [(μ-SC6H5)(μ-S(CH2)2NH3)Fe2(NO)4] (7) provide the methodology for the synthesis and isolation of neutral, pure cysteine-/mixed-thiolate-containing DNIC/RRE.
