Abstract
A conceptual approach for the synthesis of quasi-heteroleptic complexes with properly endo-functionalized cages as ligands is presented. The cage ligand reported here is of a covalent organic nature, it has been synthesized via a dynamic combinatorial chemistry approach, making use of a masked amine. Inspired by enzymatic active sites, the described system bears one carboxylate and two imidazole moieties as independent ligating units through which it is able to coordinate to transition metals. Analysis of the iron(II) complex in solution and the solid state validates the structure and shows that no undesired but commonly observed dimerization process takes place. The solid-state structure shows a five-coordinate metal center with the carboxylate bidentately bound to iron, which makes Fe@2 an unprecedentedly detailed structural model complex for this kind of non-heme iron oxygenases. As, as confirmed by the crystal structure, sufficient space for other organic ligands is available, the biologically relevant ligand α-ketoglutarate is implemented. We observe biomimetic reaction behavior towards dioxygen that opens studies investigating Fe@2 as a functional model complex.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) are terminal enzymes on the mitochondrial or bacterial respiratory electron transport chain, which utilize a unique heterobinuclear active site to catalyze the 4H+/4e- reduction of dioxygen to water. This process involves a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a tyrosine (phenolic) residue and additional redox events coupled to transmembrane proton pumping and ATP synthesis. Given that HCOs are large, complex, membrane-bound enzymes, bioinspired synthetic model chemistry is a promising approach to better understand heme-Cu-mediated dioxygen reduction, including the details of proton and electron movements. This review encompasses important aspects of heme-O2 and copper-O2 (bio)chemistries as they relate to the design and interpretation of small molecule model systems and provides perspectives from fundamental coordination chemistry, which can be applied to the understanding of HCO activity. We focus on recent advancements from studies of heme-Cu models, evaluating experimental and computational results, which highlight important fundamental structure-function relationships. Finally, we provide an outlook for future potential contributions from synthetic inorganic chemistry and discuss their implications with relevance to biological O2-reduction.

Abstract
A new "two-story" calix[6]arene-based ligand was synthesized, and its coordination chemistry was explored. It presents a tren cap connected to the calixarene small rim through three amido spacers. X-ray diffraction studies of its metal complexes revealed a six-coordinate ZnII complex with all of the carbonyl groups of the amido arms bound and a five-coordinate CuII complex with only one amido arm bound. These dicationic complexes were poorly responsive toward exogenous neutral donors, but the amido arms were readily displaced by small anions or deprotonated with a base to give the corresponding monocationic complexes. Cyclic voltammetry in various solvents showed a reversible wave for the CuII/CuI couple at very negative potentials, denoting an electron-rich environment. The reversibility of the system was attributed to the amido arms, which can coordinate the metal center in both its +II and +I redox states. The reversibility was lost upon anion binding to Cu. Upon exposure of the CuI complex to O2 at low temperature, a green species was obtained with a UV-vis signature typical of an end-on superoxide CuII complex. Such a species was proposed to be responsible for oxygen insertion reactions onto the ligand according to the unusual and selective four-electron oxidative pathway previously described with a "one-story" calix[6]tren ligand.

Abstract
Supramolecular bioinorganic chemistry is a natural evolution in biomimetic metallic systems since it constitutes a further degree of complexity in modeling. The traditional approach consisting of mimicking the first coordination sphere of metal sites proved to be very efficient, because valuable data are extracted from these examples to gain insight in natural systems mechanisms. But it does not reproduce several specific aspects of enzymes that can be mimicked by the implementation of a cavity embedding the labile active site and thus controlling the properties of the metal ion by noncovalent interactions. This Account reports on a strategy aimed at reproducing some supramolecular aspects encountered in the natural systems. The cavity complexes described herein display a coordination site constructed on a macrocycle. Thanks to a careful design of the cavity-based ligands, complexes orienting their labile site specifically toward the inside of the macrocycle were obtained. The supramolecular systems are based on the flexible calix[6]arene core that surrounds the metal ion labile site, thereby constraining exogenous molecules to pass through the conic funnel to reach the metal center. Such an architecture confers to the metal ion very unusual properties and behaviors, which in many aspects are biologically relevant. Three generations of calix[6]-based ligands are presented and discussed in the context of modeling the monocopper sites encountered in some enzymes. A wide range of phenomena are highlighted such as the impact that the size and shape of the access channel to the metal center have on the selectivity and rate of the binding process, the possible remote control of the electronics through small modifications operated on the cavity edges, induced-fit behavior associated with host-guest association (shoe-tree effect) that affects the redox properties of the metal ion and the electron exchange pathway, consequences of forbidden associative ligand exchange allowing a redox switch to drive an "antithermodynamic" ligand exchange, drastic effects of the full control of the second coordination sphere, and dioxygen activation in a confined chamber conducted to a selective and unusual four-electron redox process. All these findings bring new clues for better understanding the control exerted by the proteic environment on a metal center, allow the identification of new reaction pathways, and lead to new proposals for enzymatic catalytic cycle (such as the formation of an alkylhydroperoxide intermediate for mononuclear Cu-hydroxylases). The supramolecular systems may also be exploited for designing highly selective and sensitive probes for molecules of particular function and shape or to design new selective catalysts.

Abstract
We have investigated CO migration and binding in CuBMb, a copper-binding myoglobin double mutant (L29H-F43H), by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and flash photolysis over a wide temperature range. This mutant was originally engineered with the aim to mimic the catalytic site of heme-copper oxidases. Comparison of the wild-type protein Mb and CuBMb shows that the copper ion in the distal pocket gives rise to significant effects on ligand binding to the heme iron. In Mb and copper-free CuBMb, primary and secondary ligand docking sites are accessible upon photodissociation. In copper-bound CuBMb, ligands do not migrate to secondary docking sites but rather coordinate to the copper ion. Ligands entering the heme pocket from the outside normally would not be captured efficiently by the tight distal pocket housing the two additional large imidazole rings. Binding at the Cu ion, however, ensures efficient trapping in CuBMb. The Cu ion also restricts the motions of the His64 side chain, which is the entry/exit door for ligand movement into the active site, and this restriction results in enhanced geminate and slow bimolecular CO rebinding. These results support current mechanistic views of ligand binding in hemoglobins and the role of the CuB in the active of heme-copper oxidases. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Oxygen Binding and Sensing Proteins.

Abstract
The reactivity of copper complexes of three different second-generation bispidine-based ligands (bispidine = 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane; mono- and bis-tetradentate; exclusively tertiary amine donors) with dioxygen [(reversible) binding of dioxygen by copper(I)] is reported. The UV-vis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, and vibrational spectra (resonance Raman) of the dioxygen adducts indicate that, depending on the ligand and reaction conditions, several different species (mono- and dinuclear, superoxo, peroxo, and hydroperoxo), partially in equilibrium with each other, are formed. Minor changes in the ligand structure and/or experimental conditions (solvent, temperature, relative concentrations) allow switching between the different forms. With one of the ligands, an end-on peroxodicopper(II) complex and a mononuclear hydroperoxocopper(II) complex could be characterized. With another ligand, reversible dioxygen binding was observed, leading to a metastable superoxocopper(II) complex. The amount of dioxygen involved in the reversible binding to Cu(I) was determined quantitatively. The mechanism of dioxygen binding as well as the preference of each of the three ligands for a particular dioxygen adduct is discussed on the basis of a computational (density functional theory) analysis.

Abstract
To better understand the effect of thioether coordination in copper-O(2) chemistry, the tetradentate N(3)S ligand L(ASM) (2-(methylthio)-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)benzenamine) and related alkylether ligand L(EOE) (2-ethoxy-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine) have been studied. The corresponding copper(I) complexes, [(L(ASM))Cu(I)](+) (1a) and [(L(EOE))Cu(I)](+) (3a), were studied as were the related compound [(L(ESE))Cu(I)](+) (2a, L(ESE) = (2-ethylthio-N,N-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine). The X-ray structure of 1a and its solution conductivity reveal a monomeric molecular structure possessing thioether coordination which persists in solution. In contrast, the C-O stretching frequencies of the derivative Cu(I)-CO complexes reveal that for these complexes, the modulated ligand arms, whether arylthioether, alkylthioether, or ether, are not coordinated to the cuprous ion. Electrochemical data for 1a and 2a in CH(3)CN and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) show the thioanisole moiety to be a poor electron donor compared to alkylthioether (1a is ∼200 mV more positive than 2a). The structures of [(L(ASM))Cu(II)(CH(3)OH)](2+) (1c) and [(L(ESE))Cu(II)(CH(3)OH)](2+) (2c) have also been obtained and indicate nearly identical copper coordination environments. Oxygenation of 1a at reduced temperature gives a characteristic deep blue intermediate [{(L(ASM))Cu(II)}(2)(O(2)(2-))](2+) (1b(P)) with absorption features at 442 (1,500 M(-1) cm(-1)), 530 (8,600 M(-1) cm(-1)), and 605 nm (10,400 M(-1) cm(-1)); these values compare well to the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions previously reported for [{(L(ESE))Cu(II)}(2)(O(2)(2-))](2+) (2b(P)). Resonance Raman data for [{(L(ASM))Cu(II)}(2)(O(2)(2-))](2+) (1b(P)) support the formation of μ-1,2-peroxo species ν(O-O) = 828 cm(-1)(Δ((18)O(2)) = 48), ν(sym)(Cu-O) = 547 cm(-1) (Δ((18)O(2)) = 23), and ν(asym)(Cu-O) = 497 cm(-1) (Δ((18)O(2)) = 22) and suggest the L(ASM) ligand is a poorer electron donor to copper than is L(ESE). In contrast, the oxygenation of [(L(EOE))Cu(I)](+) (3a), possessing an ether donor as an analogue of the thioether in L(ESE), led to the formation of a bis(μ-oxo) species [{(L(EOE))Cu(III)}(2)(O(2-))(2)](2+) (3b(O); 380 nm, ε ∼ 10,000 M(-1) cm(-1)). This result provides further support for the sulfur influence in 1b(P) and 2b(P), in particular coordination of the sulfur to the Cu. Thermal decomposition of 1b(P) is accompanied by ligand sulfoxidation. The structure of [{(L(EOE))Cu(II)(Cl)}(2)](+) (3c) generated from the reductive dehalogenation of organic chlorides suggests that the ether moiety is weakly bound to the cupric ion. A detailed discussion of the spectroscopic and structural characteristics of 1b(P), 2b(P), and 3b(O) is presented.

Abstract
The kinetics, thermodynamics, and coordination dynamics are reported for O(2) and CO 1:1 binding to a series of pseudo-tetradentate ligand-copper(I) complexes ((D)LCu(I)) to give Cu(I)/O(2) and Cu(I)/CO product species. Members of the (D)LCu(I) series possess an identical tridentate core structure where the cuprous ion binds to the bispicolylamine (L) fragment. (D)L also contains a fourth variable N-donor moiety {D = benzyl (Bz); pyridyl (Py); imidazolyl (Im); dimethylamino (NMe(2)); (tert-butylphenyl)pyridyl (TBP); quinolyl (Q)}. The structural characteristics of (D)LCu(I)-CO and (D)LCu(I) are detailed, with X-ray crystal structures reported for (TBP)LCu(I)-CO, (Bz)LCu(I)-CO, and (Q)LCu(I). Infrared studies (solution and solid-state) confirm that (D)LCu(I)-CO possess the same four-coordinate core structure in solution with the variable D moiety "dangling", i.e., not coordinated to the copper(I) ion. Other trends observed for the present series appear to derive from the degree to which the D-group interacts with the cuprous ion center. Electrochemical studies reveal close similarities of behavior for (Im)LCu(I) and (NMe(2))LCu(I) (as well as for (TBP)LCu(I) and (Q)LCu(I)), which relate to the O(2) binding kinetics and thermodynamics. Equilibrium CO binding data (K(CO), ΔH°, ΔS°) were obtained by conducting UV-visible spectrophotometric CO titrations, while CO binding kinetics and thermodynamics (k(CO), ΔH(double dagger), ΔS(double dagger)) were measured through variable-temperature (193-293 K) transient absorbance laser flash photolysis experiments, λ(ex) = 355 nm. Carbon monoxide dissociation rate constants (k(-CO)) and corresponding activation parameters (ΔH(double dagger), ΔS(double dagger)) have also been obtained. CO binding to (D)LCu(I) follows an associative mechanism, with the increased donation from D leading to higher k(CO) values. Unlike observations from previous work, the K(CO) values increased as the k(CO) and k(-CO) values declined; the latter decreased at a faster rate. By using the "flash-and-trap" method (λ(ex) = 355 nm, 188-218 K), the kinetics and thermodynamics (k(O(2)), ΔH(double dagger), ΔS(double dagger)) for O(2) binding to (NMe(2))LCu(I) and (Im)LCu(I) were measured and compared to those for (Py)LCu(I). A surprising change in the O(2) binding mechanism was deduced from the thermodynamic ΔS(double dagger) values observed, associative for (Py)LCu(I) but dissociative for (NMe(2))LCu(I) and (Im)LCu(I); these results are interpreted as arising from a difference in the timing of electron transfer from copper(I) to O(2) as this molecule coordinates and a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent molecule dissociates. The change in mechanism was not simply related to alterations in (D)LCu(II/I) geometries or the order in which O(2) and THF coordinate. The equilibrium O(2) binding constant (K(O(2)), ΔH°, ΔS°) and O(2) dissociation rate constants (k(-O(2)), ΔH(double dagger), ΔS(double dagger)) were also determined. Overall the results demonstrate that subtle changes in the coordination environment, as occur over time through evolution in nature or through controlled ligand design in synthetic systems, dictate to a critically detailed level the observed chemistry in terms of reaction kinetics, structure, and reactivity, and thus function. Results reported here are also compared to relevant copper and/or iron biological systems and analogous synthetic ligand-copper systems.

Abstract
Alfred Werner proposed nearly 100 years ago that the secondary coordination sphere has a role in determining the physical properties of transition-metal complexes. We now know that the secondary coordination sphere impacts nearly all aspects of transition-metal chemistry, including the reactivity and selectivity in metal-mediated processes. These features are highlighted in the binding and activation of dioxygen by transition-metal complexes. There are clear connections between control of the secondary coordination sphere and the ability of metal complexes to (1) reversibly bind dioxygen or (2) bind and activate dioxygen to form highly reactive metal-oxo complexes. In this Forum Article, several biological and synthetic examples are presented and discussed in terms of structure-function relationships. Particular emphasis is given to systems with defined noncovalent interactions, such as intramolecular H-bonds involving dioxygen-derived ligands. To further illustrate these effects, the homolytic cleavage of C-H bonds by metal-oxo complexes with basic oxo ligands is described.

Abstract
While copper-carbon bonds are well appreciated in organometallic synthetic chemistry, such occurrences are less known in biological settings. By far, the greatest incidence of copper-carbon moieties is in bioinorganic research aimed at probing copper protein active site structure and mechanism; for example, carbon monoxide (CO) binding as a surrogate for O2. Using infrared (IR) spectroscopy, CO coordination to cuprous sites has proven to be an extremely useful tool for determining active site copper ligation (e.g., donor atom number and type). The coupled (hemocyanin, tyrosinase, catechol oxidase) and non-coupled (peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase, dopamine β-monooxygenase) binuclear copper proteins as well as the heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) have been studied extensively via this method. In addition, environmental changes within the vicinity of the active site have been determined based on shifts in the CO stretching frequencies, such as for copper amine oxidases, nitrite reductases and again in the binuclear proteins and HCOs. In many situations, spectroscopic monitoring has provided kinetic and thermodynamic data on CuI-CO formation and CO dissociation from copper(I); recently, processes occurring on a femtosecond timescale have been reported. Copper-cyano moieties have also been useful for obtaining insights into the active site structure and mechanisms of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, azurin, nitrous oxide reductase, and multi-copper oxidases. Cyanide is a good ligand for both copper(I) and copper(II), therefore multiple physical-spectroscopic techniques can be applied. A more obvious occurrence of a “Cu-C” moiety was recently described for a CO dehydrogenase which contains a novel molybdenum-copper catalytic site. A bacterial copper chaperone (CusF) was recently established to have a novel d-π interaction comprised of copper(I) with the arene containing side-chain of a tryptophan amino acid residue. Meanwhile, good evidence exists that a plant receptor site (ETR1) utilizes copper(I) to sense ethylene, a growth hormone. A copper olfactory receptor has also been suggested. All of the above mentioned occurrences or uses of carbon-containing substrates and/or probes are reviewed and discussed within the framework of copper proteins and other relevant systems.

Abstract
Heme-Cu/O2 adducts are of interest in the elucidation of the fundamental metal-O2 chemistry occurring in heme-Cu enzymes which effect reductive O-O cleavage of dioxygen to water. In this report, the chemistry of four heme-peroxo-copper [FeIII-(O22-)-CuII]+ complexes (1-4), varying in their ligand architecture, copper-ligand denticity, or both and thus their structures and physical properties are compared in their reactivity toward CO, PPh3, acids, cobaltocene, and phenols. In 1 and 2, the copper(II) ligand is N4-tetradentate, and the peroxo unit is bound side-on to iron(III) and end-on to the copper(II). In contrast, 3 and 4 contain a N3-tridentate copper(II) ligand, and the peroxo unit is bound side-on to both metal ions. CO "displaces" the peroxo ligand from 2-4 to form reduced CO-FeII and CO-CuI species. PPh3 reacts with 3 and 4 displacing the peroxide ligand from copper, forming (porphyrinate)FeIII-superoxide plus CuI-PPh3 species. Complex 2 does not react with PPh3, and surprisingly, 1 reacts neither with PPh3 nor CO, exhibiting remarkable stability toward these reagents. The behavior of 1 and 2 compared to that of 3 and 4 correlates with the different denticity of the copper ligand (tetra vs tridentate). Complexes 1-4 react with HCl releasing H2O2, demonstrating the basic character of the peroxide ligand. Cobaltocene causes the two-electron reduction of 1-4 giving the corresponding micro-oxo [FeIII-(O2-)-CuII]+ complexes, in contrast to the findings for other heme-peroxo-copper species of different design. With t-butyl-substituted phenols, no reaction occurs with 1-4. The results described here emphasize how ligand design and variations influence and control not only the structure and physical properties but also the reactivity patterns for heme-Cu/O2 adducts. Implications for future investigations of protonated heme/Cu-peroxo complexes, low-spin analogues, and ultimately O-O cleavage chemistry are discussed.

Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of diversely substituted Cu-N3-calix[6]arene, enzyme-like, "funnel" complexes is analyzed. The Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox process is regulated by the supramolecular organization of the Cu coordination. The presence of a "shoetree" alkyl nitrile guest molecule inside the host cavity is a prerequisite for a dynamic redox behavior. Combination of supramolecular CH-pi weak interactions with the calixarene cavity and electronic/steric effects from the N3 substituting groups (pyridine, imidazole, pyrrolidine) enforces the preferential geometrical pattern adopted by Cu. This dictates the pathway of the electron-transfer process and, thus, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the redox reaction in the framework of a square-scheme mechanism. The present observations recall strongly the redox control exerted by the protein matrix on copper proteins through biological concepts such as induced fit mechanism, protein foldings, and entatic and allosteric effects.

Abstract
Coordination of Cu(I) to a tren unit that is covalently linked to a calix[6]arene has been explored. The resulting complex revealed itself very stable in solution under an inert atmosphere, but extremely sensitive to O2 in solution as well as in the solid state. Therefore, its binding properties towards non-redox ligands have been studied in detail. The electron-rich metal center displays moderate affinity for nitrilo ligands compared to the calix[6]tris-pyridine ligand. Indeed, the binding enthalpy with acetonitrile is only -30 kJ mol(-1), whereas it is -72 kJ mol(-1) with the tris-pyridine system. In contrast, CO binding is relatively strong due to important pi-back donation from the metal center, as evidenced by the CO stretch, which was found to be less energetic (2075 cm(-1)) than that measured for ligands based on aromatic donors such as imidazole or pyridine. The conformational and dynamic properties of this calix-system have also been studied in detail. With an empty cavity or with the very small CO guest-ligand, the calix-core undergoes partial self-inclusion leading to dissymmetrical conformations. In contrast, nitrilo ligands act as "shoe-trees" that maintain the calix-core in a C(3v) symmetrical cone conformation. Very interestingly, the variable T study relative to the ligand exchange process highlighted a two-step dissociative pathway, where Cu-N bond cleavage/formation is differentiated from the nitrilo guest expulsion/inclusion from/into the calixarene cavity.

Abstract
Dioxygen binding at copper enzymatic sites is a fundamental aspect of the catalytic activity observed in many biological systems such as the monooxygenases, especially peptidylglycine alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM), in which two mononuclear Cu(I) sites are involved. Biomimetic models have been developed: dipods, tripods, and, more recently, functionalized calixarenes. The modelling of calixarene systems, although not unreachable for theory yet, requires, however, a number of preliminary investigations to ensure proper calibrations if relevant description of the metal-ligand interaction at the hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics levels of theory is the aim. In this paper, we report quantum chemistry investigations on a coherent series of representative cuprous tripodal species characterized by (1) monodentate ligands [Cu(ImH)3]+ (where ImH is imidazole), [Cu(MeNH2)3]+ and [Cu(MeNH2)4]+ , (2) neutral tripodal ligands [CuCH(ImH)3]+, [Cu(tren)]+ [where tren is tris(2-aminoethyl)amine], and [Cu(trenMe3)]+ [where trenMe3 is tris(2-methylaminoethyl)amine] and (3) a hydrido-tris(pyrazolyl)borate [CuBH(Pyra)3]. The structures of these complexes, the coordination mode (eta(2) side-on or eta(1) end-on) of O2 to Cu(I) and the charge transfer from the metal to dioxygen have been computed. For some systems, the coordination by CH3CN and CO is also reported. Beyond results relative to structural properties, an interesting feature is that it is possible to build from computational results only a set of abacuses linking the nu(16O-16O) vibrational frequency of the coordinated O2 molecule to the O-O bond length or to the net charge of the O2 moiety. Such abacuses may help experimentalists in distinguishing between the four possible ways of binding O2 to CuN3 and CuN4 cuprous centres, namely (1) end-on triplet states, (2) side-on triplet states, (3) end-on singlet states and (4) side-on singlet states. These abacuses are extended to three tripods obtained by the substitution of one nitrogen atom by either a phosphorus or a sulphur atom. Moreover, it is shown that any factor favouring pyramidalization at copper favours charge transfer and thus coordination of the incoming O2 moiety. All these allow insight into the coordination mode of O2 and into the charge transfer from Cu(I) in site Cu(M) of PHM.

Polarizing a Hydrophobic Cavity for the Efficient Binding of Organic Guests: The Case of Calix[6]tren, a Highly Efficient and Versatile Receptor for Neutral or Cationic Species.

Abstract
The host-guest properties of calix[6]tren 1 have been evaluated. The receptor is based on a calix[6]arene that is covalently capped at the narrow rim by a tren unit. As a result, the system presents a concave hydrophobic cavity with, at its bottom, a grid-like nitrogenous core. Despite its well-defined cavity and opening to the outside at the large rim, 1 did not behave as a good receptor for neutral molecules in chloroform. However, it exhibited efficient endo-complexation of ammonium guests. By contrast, the per-protonated host, 1.4H(+), behaved as a remarkable receptor for small organic molecules. The complexation is driven by a strong charge-dipole interaction and hydrogen bonds between the polar guest and the tetracationic cap of the calixarene. Finally, coordination of Zn(2+) to the tren core led to the asymmetrization of calixarene cavity and to the strong but selective endo-binding of neutral ligands. This study emphasizes the efficiency of a receptor presenting a concave hydrophobic cavity that is polarized at its bottom. The resulting combination of charge-dipole, hydrogen bonding, CH-pi, and van der Waals interactions highly stabilizes the supramolecular architectures. Also, importantly, the tren cap allows the tuning of the polarization, offering either a basic (1), a highly charged and acidic (1.4H(+)), or a coordination (1.Zn(2+)) site. As a result, the system proved to be highly versatile, tunable, and interconvertible in solution by simple addition of protons, bases, or metal ions.
