O Cleavage at a Preorganized Triiron Cluster.

In Nature, the four-electron reduction of O is catalyzed at preorganized multimetallic active sites. These complex active sites often feature low-coordinate, redox-active metal centers precisely positioned to facilitate rapid O activation processes that obviate the generation of toxic, partially reduced oxygen species. Very few biomimetic constructs simultaneously recapitulate the complexity and reactivity of these biological cofactors.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on designing iron clusters with a bimetallic core and multiple protonation sites to better understand polymetallic active sites like the H-cluster in [FeFe]-hydrogenases.
- - Complexes were synthesized via reactions of hexacarbonyl precursors and mononuclear complexes to incorporate amine functions near the triiron core, aiming to investigate their reactivity and redox properties.
- - The research identified protonation sites and their interactions, noting that the orientation of protonation processes is influenced by the arrangement of the second coordination sphere, while comparing these triiron species to their dinuclear counterparts.

The title compound, tetra-ethyl-ammonium tri-azido-tri-μ-sulfido-[μ-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)aza-nediido][tris-(3,5-di-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)hydro-borato]triiron(+2.33)molybdenum(IV), (CHN)[FeMoS(CHBN)(CHNSi)(N)] or (EtN)[(Tp*)MoFeS(μ-NSiMe)(N)] [Tp* = tris-(3,5-di-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)hydro-bor-ate(1-)], crystallizes as needle-like black crystals in space group . In this cluster, the Mo site is in a distorted octa-hedral coordination model, coordinating three N atoms on the Tp* ligand and three μ-bridging S atoms in the core.

High-valent Fe(IV)-oxo species derived upon reactions of NO with Fe(II) centers-embedded in the framework of tri-iron oxo-centered-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)- selectively affect the conversion of benzene-to-phenol via electrophilic addition to arene C-H bonds akin to oxygen transfer mechanisms in the P450 enzyme. The Fe(II) species identified by Mössbauer spectroscopy can be titrated in situ by the addition of NO to completely suppress benzene oxidation, verifying the relevance of Fe(II) centers. Observed inverse kinetic isotope effects in benzene hydroxylation preclude the involvement of H atom transfer steps from benzene to the Fe(IV)-oxo species and instead suggest that the electrophilic iron-oxo group adds to an sp carbon of benzene, resulting in a change in the hybridization from sp-to-sp.

Methanobactins (Mbns) are a family of copper-binding peptides involved in copper uptake by methanotrophs, and are potential therapeutic agents for treating diseases characterized by disordered copper accumulation. Mbns are produced via modification of MbnA precursor peptides at cysteine residues catalyzed by the core biosynthetic machinery containing MbnB, an iron-dependent enzyme, and MbnC. However, mechanistic details underlying the catalysis of the MbnBC holoenzyme remain unclear.
