Interaction studies of biliverdin-Cu complex formation using XANES, XRF, and DFT analyses and its effect on cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cell line (U251). Arch Biochem Biophys 2025; 770:110466. [PMID: 40373989 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2025.110466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2025] [Revised: 05/08/2025] [Accepted: 05/12/2025] [Indexed: 05/17/2025]
Abstract
Cu2+ and biliverdin build complex (BV-Cu) that is stable in water at physiological pH and may develop in living systems. However, the interactions of BV-Cu with cells and even its structure are not fully understood. Herein we showed that BV-Cu complex was significantly more cytotoxic to a human cell line than equimolar Cu2+ and biliverdin. Micro-XRF-generated maps of elements showed that in contrast to Cu2+-treated cells which exhibited physiological compartmentalization of Cu, cells treated with BV-Cu had almost even distribution of Cu throughout the cytosol. XANES showed that the complex contains Cu1+ with distorted tetrahedral or square planar geometry. This implicates that the formation of the complex includes redox reaction between the metal ion and the ligand. As a result, the complex is nominally made of Cu1+ and BV radical cation. The redistribution of charge and spin densities between Cu2+ and tetrapyrrole ring during complex formation was also corroborated by DFT modelling. Cells exposed to BV-Cu were loaded with Cu that remained in 1+ form with altered local geometry than the complex. The cytotoxicity of the BV-Cu complex may come as a result of its interference with regular Cu transport and storage routes.

Abstract
Interfacial hydrogen bonds are pivotal in enhancing proton activity and accelerating the kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer during electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here we propose a novel FeCr bimetallic atomic sites catalyst supported on a honeycomb-like porous carbon layer, designed to optimize the microenvironment for efficient electrocatalytic ORR through the induction of interfacial hydrogen bonds. Characterizations, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy and in situ infrared spectroscopy, disclose the rearrangement of delocalized electrons due to the formation of FeCr sites, which facilitates the dissociation of interfacial water molecules and the subsequent formation of hydrogen bonds. This process significantly accelerates the proton-coupled electron transfer process and enhances the ORR reaction kinetics. As a result, the catalyst FeCrNC achieves a remarkable half-wave potential of 0.92 V and exhibits superior four-electron selectivity in 0.1 M KOH solution. Moreover, the zinc-air battery assembled by FeCrNC demonstrates a high power density of 207 mW cm-2 and negligible degradation over 240 h at a current density of 10 mA cm-2.

Abstract
Developing multimetallic complexes with tunable metal-metal interactions has long been a target of synthetic inorganic chemistry efforts due to the unique properties that such compounds can exhibit. However, understanding relationships between metal-metal bonding and chemical properties is challenging due to system-dependent factors that influence metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions, including ligand identity, coordination geometry, and metal-metal distance. In this work, we apply X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations to describe electronic structure and bonding in a series of dicobalt complexes. The compounds with silane ligands and pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry exhibit Co-Co σ and multicentered bonding character, which we characterize from both the occupied and vacant perspectives via their contributions to the Co X-ray emission and absorption spectra, respectively. In contrast, the dicobalt complexes with a pseudotetrahedral coordination environment do not exhibit Co-Co bonding due to symmetry constraints on orbital overlap. We extend these insights to the theoretical evaluation of related dicobalt complexes to explain how ligand coordination and symmetry dictate the presence or absence of a Co-Co bond. This work highlights how fundamental insights into electronic structure and bonding through X-ray spectroscopy uncover important factors governing metal-metal interactions and guide the rational design of multimetallic complexes with tunable metal-metal bonds.

Abstract
Iron-doped nickel oxyhydroxides, Nix(Fe1-x)OyHz, are among the most promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in alkaline environments. Although iron (Fe) significantly enhances the catalytic activity, there is still no clear consensus on whether Fe directly participates in the reaction or merely acts as a promoter. To elucidate the Fe's role, we performed operando X-ray spectroscopy studies supported by DFT on Nix(Fe1-x)OyHz electrocatalysts. We probed the reversible changes in the structure and electronic character of Nix(Fe1-x)OyHz as the electrode potential is cycled between the resting (here at 1.10 VRHE) and operational states (1.66 VRHE). DFT calculations and XAS simulations on a library of Fe structures in various NiOyHz environments are in favor of a distorted local octahedral Fe(III)O3(OH)3 configuration at the resting state with the NiOyHz scaffold going from α-Ni(OH)2 to γ-NiOOH as the potential is increased. Under catalytic conditions, EXAFS and HERFD spectra reveal changes in p-d mixing (covalency) relative to the resting state between O/OH ligands and Fe leading to a shift from octahedral to square pyramidal coordination at the Fe site. XES measurements and theoretical simulations further support that the Fe equilibrium structure remains in a formal Fe(III) state under both resting and operational conditions. These spectral changes are attributed to potential dependent structural rearrangements around Fe. The results suggest that ligand dissociation leads to the C4v symmetry as the most stable intermediate of the Fe during OER. This implies that Fe has a weakly coordinated or easily dissociable ligand that could serve to coordinate the O-O bond formation and, tentatively, play an active role in the Nix(Fe1-x)OyHz electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) represent the ultimate size limit of nanoscale catalysts, combining the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. SACs have isolated single-atom active sites that exhibit high atomic utilization efficiency, unique catalytic activity, and selectivity. Over the past few decades, synchrotron radiation techniques have played a crucial role in studying single-atom catalysis by identifying catalyst structures and enabling the understanding of reaction mechanisms. The profound comprehension of spectroscopic techniques and characteristics pertaining to SACs is important for exploring their catalytic activity origins and devising high-performance and stable SACs for industrial applications. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in X-ray based synchrotron radiation techniques for structural characterization and in situ/operando observation of SACs under reaction conditions. We emphasize the correlation between spectral fine features and structural characteristics of SACs, along with their analytical limitations. The development of IMST with spatial and temporal resolution is also discussed along with their significance in revealing the structural characteristics and reaction mechanisms of SACs. Additionally, this review explores the study of active center states using spectral fine characteristics combined with theoretical simulations, as well as spectroscopic analysis strategies utilizing machine learning methods to address challenges posed by atomic distribution inhomogeneity in SACs while envisaging potential applications integrating artificial intelligence seamlessly with experiments for real-time monitoring of single-atom catalytic processes.

Abstract
The catalytic activities displayed by single-atom catalysts (SACs) depend on the coordination structure. SACs supported on carbon materials often adopt saturated coordination structures with uneven distributions because they require high-temperature conditions during synthesis. Herein, bisnitrogen-chelated Co SACs that are coordinatively unsaturated are prepared by integrating a Co complex into a conjugated microporous polymer (CMP-CoN2). Compared with saturated analogues, i.e., tetranitrogen-chelated Co SACs (denoted as CMP-CoN4), CMP-CoN2 exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity in polysulfide conversions due to an enhanced hybridization between the 3d orbitals of the Co atoms and the 3p orbitals of the S atoms in the polysulfide. As a result, sulfur cathodes prepared with CoN2 deliver outstanding performance metrics, including a high specific capacity (1393 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C), a superior rate capacity (673.2 mA h g-1 at 6 C), and a low capacity decay rate (of only 0.045% per cycle at 2 C over 1000 cycles). They also outperform sulfur cathodes that contain CMP-CoN4 or CMPs that are devoid of Co SACs. This work reveals how the catalytic activity displayed by SACs is affected by their coordination structures, and the rules that underpin the structure-activity relationship may be extended to designing electrocatalysts for use in other applications.

Abstract
Metal-dioxygen species are important intermediates formed during dioxygen activations by metalloenzymes in various biological processes, by catalysts in fuel cells, and prior to O2 evolution by photosystem II. In this work, we focus on manganese-porphyrin complexes using tetramesitylporphyrin ligand (TMP) to explore changes in Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) associated with the formation of Mn-hydroxide and Mn-O2 peroxide species. With limited spectroscopic characterization of these compounds, Mn Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), XAS, density functional theory (DFT), and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) analysis will enhance our understanding of their complex electronic structure. We show that the shape of the pre-edge in the K-edge Mn X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) can serve as a spectroscopic signature of the MnIII-peroxo formation and thus can be used to track the presence of the side-on peroxide as an intermediate in time-resolved or in situ experiments. Our results will help to further summarize the spectroscopic fingerprints for peroxo and hydroxo species, addressing the challenge of identifying the reactive metal species in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Modulating and elevating the operating voltage of a given cathode is a significant challenge to enhance the energy density of secondary batteries without sacrificing power output. The chemical coordination strongly influences the energy levels of d-orbitals of redox cations in cathode materials, which tie to their operating voltage. In contrast to concentrated studies on enhancing the specific capacity, in this study, we choose bi-layered hydrated vanadium pentoxide as the model to modulate the d-orbital energy levels through local chemical coordination manipulation, achieving a higher operating voltage in rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries. Here we show that, by employing X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and pair distribution function (PDF) techniques, we can analyze the distortion of [VO6] octahedra and extract chemical bond information, deciphering the correlation between the chemical coordination and operating voltage in cathode materials. The fundamentals could guide the designing and developing RAZIBs with higher energy and power density.

Abstract
A CuII complex (1) of a bis-pyridine-dioxime ligand and its one-electron oxidized analog (1-ox) were thoroughly characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy. 1-ox was found to be a CuII complex of a ligand iminoxyl radical and represents the first example of such a type. Reorganization energy (λ) of 2.12 eV was determined for the 1-ox/1 couple, which is considerably higher than the type 1 protein and synthetic CuIII/II(OH) complexes.

Abstract
Molecular cavities that mimic natural metalloenzymes have shown the potential to trap elusive reaction intermediates. Here, we demonstrate the formation of a rare yet stable Fe(IV)-superoxo intermediate at room temperature subsequent to dioxygen binding at the Fe(III) site of a (Et4N)2[FeIII(Cl)(bTAML)] complex confined inside the hydrophobic interior of a water-soluble Pd6L412+ nanocage. Using a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance, Mössbauer, Raman/IR vibrational, X-ray absorption, and emission spectroscopies, we demonstrate that the cage-encapsulated complex has a Fe(IV) oxidation state characterized by a stable S = 1/2 spin state and a short Fe-O bond distance of ∼1.70 Å. We find that the O2 reaction in confinement is reversible, while the formed Fe(IV)-superoxo complex readily reacts when presented with substrates having weak C-H bonds, highlighting the lability of the O-O bond. We envision that such optimally trapped high-valent superoxos can show new classes of reactivities catalyzing both oxygen atom transfer and C-H bond activation reactions.

Abstract
As a crucial component responsible for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), cobalt-rich perovskite-type cathode materials have been extensively investigated in protonic ceramic fuel cell (PCFC). However, their widespread application at a commercial scale is considerably hindered by the high cost and inadequate stability. In response to these weaknesses, the study presents a novel cobalt-free perovskite oxide, Ba0.95La0.05(Fe0.8Zn0.2)0.95O3-δ (BLFZ0.95), with the triple-conducting (H+|O2-|e-) property as an active and robust air electrode for PCFC. The B-site deficiency state contributes significantly to the optimization of crystal and electronic structure, as well as the increase in oxygen vacancy concentration, thus in turn favoring the catalytic capacity. As a result, the as-obtained BLFZ0.95 electrode demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performance at 700 °C, representing extremely low area-specific resistance of 0.04 Ω cm2 in humid air (3 vol.% H2O), extraordinarily high peak power density of 1114 mW cm-2, and improved resistance against CO2 poisoning. Furthermore, the outstanding long-term durability is achieved without visible deterioration in both symmetrical and single cell modes. This study presents a simple but crucial case for rational design of cobalt-free perovskite cathode materials with appreciable performance via B-site deficiency regulation.

Abstract
Using light to unveil unexplored reactivities of earth-abundant metal-oxygen intermediates is a formidable challenge, given the already remarkable oxidation ability of these species in the ground state. However, the light-induced reactivity of Cu-O2 intermediates still remains unexplored, due to the photoejection of O2 under irradiation. Herein, we describe a photoinduced reactivity switch of bioinspired O2-activating CuI complexes, based on the archetypal tris(2-pyridyl-methyl)amine (TPA) ligand. This report represents a key precedent for light-induced reactivity switch in Cu-O2 chemistry, obtained by positioning C-H substrates in close proximity of the active site. Open and caged CuI complexes displaying an internal aryl ether substrate were evaluated. Under light, a Cu-O2 mediated reaction takes place that induces a selective conversion of the internal aryl ether unit to a phenolate-CH2- moiety with excellent yields. This light-induced transformation displays high selectivity and allows easy postfunctionalization of TPA-based ligands for straightforward preparation of challenging heteroleptic structures. In the absence of light, O2 activation results in the standard oxidative cleavage of the covalently attached substrate. A reaction mechanism that supports a monomeric cupric-superoxide-dependent reactivity promoted by light is proposed on the basis of reactivity studies combined with (TD-) DFT calculations.

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of ligand charge on transition energies in a series of CuN2S2 complexes based on dithiocarbazate Schiff base ligands using Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Kβ valence-to-core (VtC) X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES). By comparing the formally Cu(II) complexes [CuII(HL1)] (HL12- = dimethyl pentane-2,4-diylidenebis[carbonodithiohydrazonate]) and [CuII(HL2)] (HL22- = dibenzyl pentane-2,4-diylidenebis[carbonodithiohydrazonate]) and the formally Cu(III) complex [CuIII(L2)], distinct changes in transition energies are observed, primarily attributed to the metal oxidation state. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate how an increased negative charge on the deprotonated L23- ligand stabilizes the Cu(III) center through enhanced charge donation, modulating the core transition energies. Overall, significant shifts to higher energies are noted upon metal oxidation, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing ligand structure in XAS/VtC XES analysis. The data further support the redox-innocent role of the Schiff base ligands and underscore the criticality of ligand protonation levels in future spectroscopic studies, particularly for catalytic intermediates. The combined XAS-VtC XES methodology validates the Cu(III) oxidation state assignment while offering insights into ligand protonation effects on core-level spectroscopic transitions.

Abstract
Herein, we show that the reaction of a mononuclear FeIII(OH) complex (1) with N-tosyliminobenzyliodinane (PhINTs) resulted in the formation of a FeIV(OH) species (3). The obtained complex 3 was characterized by an array of spectroscopic techniques and represented a rare example of a synthetic FeIV(OH) complex. The reaction of 1 with the one-electron oxidizing agent was reported to form a ligand-oxidized FeIII(OH) complex (2). 3 revealed a one-electron reduction potential of -0.22 V vs Fc+/Fc at -15 °C, which was 150 mV anodically shifted than 2 (Ered = -0.37 V vs Fc+/Fc at -15 °C), inferring 3 to be more oxidizing than 2. 3 reacted spontaneously with (4-OMe-C6H4)3C• to form (4-OMe-C6H4)3C(OH) through rebound of the OH group and displayed significantly faster reactivity than 2. Further, activation of the hydrocarbon C-H and the phenolic O-H bond by 2 and 3 was compared and showed that 3 is a stronger oxidant than 2. A detailed kinetic study established the occurrence of a concerted proton-electron transfer/hydrogen atom transfer reaction of 3. Studying one-electron reduction of 2 and 3 using decamethylferrocene (Fc*) revealed a higher ket of 3 than 2. The study established that the primary coordination sphere around Fe and the redox state of the metal center is very crucial in controlling the reactivity of high-valent Fe-OH complexes. Further, a FeIII(OMe) complex (4) was synthesized and thoroughly characterized, including X-ray structure determination. The reaction of 4 with PhINTs resulted in the formation of a FeIV(OMe) species (5), revealing the presence of two FeIV species with isomer shifts of -0.11 mm/s and = 0.17 mm/s in the Mössbauer spectrum and showed FeIV/FeIII potential at -0.36 V vs Fc+/Fc couple in acetonitrile at -15 °C. The reactivity studies of 5 were investigated and compared with the FeIV(OH) complex (3).

Abstract
Polarized time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co K-edge is used to probe the excited-state dynamics and photolysis of base-off methylcobalamin and the excited-state structure of base-off adenosylcobalamin. For both molecules, the final excited-state minimum shows evidence for an expansion of the cavity around the Co ion by ca. 0.04 to 0.05 Å. The 5-coordinate base-off cob(II)alamin that is formed following photodissociation has a structure similar to that of the 5-coordinate base-on cob(II)alamin, with a ring expansion of 0.03 to 0.04 Å and a contraction of the lower axial bond length relative to that in the 6-coordinate ground state. These data provide insights into the role of the lower axial ligand in modulating the reactivity of B12 coenzymes.

Abstract
ConspectusMetalloenzymes, which are proteins containing earth-abundant transition-metal ions as cofactors in the active site, generate various metal-oxygen intermediates via activating a dioxygen molecule (O2) to mediate vital metabolic functions, such as the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics and the biotransformation of naturally occurring molecules. By replicating the active sites of metalloenzymes, many bioinorganic chemists have studied the geometric and electronic properties and reactivities of model complexes to understand the nature of enzymatic intermediates and develop bioinspired metal catalysts. Among the reported model complexes, nonporphyrinic macrocyclic ligands are the predominant coordination system widely used in stabilizing and isolating diverse metal-oxygen intermediates, which allows us to extensively investigate the physicochemical characteristics of the analogs of reactive intermediates of metalloenzymes. In particular, it has been reported that the ring size of the macrocyclic ligands, defined by the number of atoms in the macrocyclic ring, drastically affects the identity of the metal-oxygen intermediate. Thus, systematic modification of the macrocyclic ligands has been a great subject being examined in various inorganic fields.In this Account, we describe synthetic advances of a macrocyclic ligand system by introducing pyridine donors into a 12-membered tetraazamacrocyclic ligand (12-TMC) that initially has 4 amine donors. Interestingly, the backbone of the pyridinophane ligand with 2 pyridine and 2 amine donors in a 12-membered ring is shown to be much more folded than in other macrocyclic ligands, thereby allowing the axial and equatorial donors to separately control the electronic structure of metal complexes. Then, we looked over independent electronic and steric effects on metal-oxygen species with thorough physicochemical analysis. The NiIII-peroxo complexes exhibit nucleophilic reactivity dependent on the steric hindrance of the second coordination sphere. Furthermore, the C-H bond strength of the second coordination sphere has also been an important factor in determining the stability of MnIV-bis(hydroxo) intermediates. Electronic tuning on CoIII-hydroperoxo intermediates results in a trend between the electron-donating abilities of para-substituents on pyridine in the pyridinophane ligand and electrophilic reactivities, from which mechanistic insights into the metal-hydroperoxo species have been gained. Importantly, the metal-oxygen intermediates supported by the pyridinophane ligand system have revealed quite challenging chemical reactions, including dioxygenase-like nitrile activation by CoIII-peroxo intermediates and the oxidation of aldehyde and aromatic compounds by manganese-oxygen intermediates. Based on the fine substitution of donors, we have addressed that those novel reactions originated from the unique framework of the pyridinophane system incorporating spin-crossover behavior and high redox potentials of the metal-oxygen intermediates. These results will be valuable for the structure-activity relationship of metal-oxygen intermediates, giving a better understanding on the enzymatic coordination system where amino acid ligands vary for specific chemical reactions.

Abstract
Copper plays many important roles in ethylene chemistry, thus generating significant interest in understanding the structures, bonding, and properties of copper(I)-ethylene complexes. In this work, the ethylene binding characteristics of a series of isolable Cu(I)-ethylene compounds supported by a systematic set of fluorinated and nonfluorinated bis- and tris(pyrazolyl)borate and the related bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands have been investigated. Through a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, we characterize their geometric and electronic structures and the role that fluorinated ligands play in lowering the electron density at Cu sites. Such ligands increase the ethylene-to-Cu σ-donor interaction and, correspondingly, decrease the Cu-to-ethylene π back-bonding. This latter interaction leads to a partial vacancy in the Cu 3d level, which manifests experimentally as a low-energy feature in the Cu K pre-edge, allowing for its direct observation and comparison within a series of Cu(I) compounds. The pre-edge feature is reproduced by TD-DFT calculations, and its energy position and total intensity are used to quantitatively probe Cu-ethylene bonding. The variations in the Cu electronic structure influence the stability and overall ethylene bonding strength of these compounds, ultimately showing how substituents on the supporting ligands have a notable effect on their physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
The Wood-Ljungdahl Pathway is a unique biological mechanism of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide fixation proposed to operate through nickel-based organometallic intermediates. The most unusual steps in this metabolic cycle involve a complex of two distinct nickel-iron-sulfur proteins: CO dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA synthase (CODH/ACS). Here, we describe the nickel-methyl and nickel-acetyl intermediates in ACS completing the characterization of all its proposed organometallic intermediates. A single nickel site (Nip) within the A cluster of ACS undergoes major geometric and redox changes as it transits the planar Nip, tetrahedral Nip-CO and planar Nip-Me and Nip-Ac intermediates. We propose that the Nip intermediates equilibrate among different redox states, driven by an electrochemical-chemical (EC) coupling process, and that geometric changes in the A-cluster linked to large protein conformational changes control entry of CO and the methyl group.

Abstract
In polluted waters, arsenic (As) poses substantial risks to the environment and human health. Inorganic As mainly exists as As(V) and As(III), and As(III) usually shows higher mobility and toxicity and is more difficult to be removed by coagulation. The oxidation of coexisting Fe(II) can accelerate As(III) oxidation and removal by promoting the generation of reactive intermediates and Fe(III) coagulant in the presence of dissolved oxygen. However, the removal efficiency of As from acidic wastewaters is far from satisfactory due to the low Fe(II) oxidation rate by dissolved oxygen. Herein, UV irradiation was applied to stimulate the synergistic oxidation of Fe(II)/As(III), and the effects of coexisting Fe(II) concentration and pH were also evaluated. The synergistic oxidation of Fe(II)/As(III) significantly enhanced the removal of As from acidic waters. Under UV irradiation, Fe(II) significantly promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby facilitating As(III) oxidation. In addition, the formation of ferric arsenate and amorphous ferric (hydr)oxides contributed much to As removal. In the As(III)-containing solution with 200 μmol L-1 Fe(II) at initial pH 4.0, the total arsenic (As(T)) concentration decreased from 67.0 to 1.3 and 0.5 μmol L-1, respectively, at 25 and 120 min under UV irradiation. The As(T) removal rate increased with increasing Fe(II) concentration, and first increased and then decreased with increasing initial pH from 2.0 to 6.0. This study clarifies the mechanism for the synergistic photo-oxidation of Fe(II)/As(III) under UV irradiation, and proposes a new strategy for highly efficient As(III) removal from acidic industrial and mining wastewaters.

Abstract
Cu systems feature prominently in aerobic oxidative catalysis in both biology and synthetic chemistry. Metal ligand cooperativity is a common theme in both areas as exemplified by galactose oxidase and by aminoxyl radicals in alcohol oxidations. This has motivated investigations into the aerobic chemistry of Cu and specifically the isolation and study of Cu-superoxo species that are invoked as key catalytic intermediates. While several examples of complexes that model biologically relevant Cu(II) superoxo intermediates have been reported, they are not typically competent aerobic catalysts. Here, we report a new Cu complex of the redox-active ligand tBu,TolDHP (2,5-bis((2-t-butylhydrazono)(p-tolyl)methyl)-pyrrole) that activates O2 to generate a catalytically active Cu(II)-superoxo complex via ligand-based electron transfer. Characterization using ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, Raman isotope labeling studies, and Cu extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis confirms the assignment of an end-on κ1 superoxo complex. This Cu-O2 complex engages in a range of aerobic catalytic oxidations with substrates including alcohols and aldehydes. These results demonstrate that bioinspired Cu systems can not only model important bioinorganic intermediates but can also mediate and provide mechanistic insight into aerobic oxidative transformations.

Abstract
Mononuclear nickel(II) and nickel(III) complexes of a bisamidate-bisalkoxide ligand, (NMe4)2[NiII(HMPAB)] (1) and (NMe4)[NiIII(HMPAB)] (2), respectively, have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including X-ray crystallography. The reaction of redox-inactive metal ions (Mn+ = Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Y3+, and Sc3+) with 2 resulted in 2-Mn+ adducts, which was assessed by an array of spectroscopic techniques including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and reactivity studies. The X-ray structure of Ca2+ coordinated to Ni(III) complexes, 2-Ca2+T, was determined and exhibited an average Ni-Ca distance of 3.1253 Å, close to the metal ions' covalent radius. XAS analysis of 2-Ca2+ and 2-Y3+ in solution further revealed an additional coordination to Ca and Y in the 2-Mn+ adducts with shortened Ni-M distances of 2.15 and 2.11 Å, respectively, implying direct bonding interactions between Ni and Lewis acids (LAs). Such a short interatomic distance between Ni(III) and M is unprecedented and was not observed before. EPR analysis of 2 and 2-Mn+ species, moreover, displayed rhombic signals with gav > 2.12 for all complexes, supporting the +III oxidation state of Ni. The NiIII/NiII redox potential of 2 and 2-Mn+ species was determined, and a plot of E1/2 of 2-Mn+ versus pKa of [M(H2O)n]m+ exhibited a linear relationship, implying that the NiIII/NiII potential of 2 can be tuned with different redox-inactive metal ions. Reactivity studies of 2 and 2-Mn+ with different 4-X-2,6-ditert-butylphenol (4-X-DTBP) and other phenol derivatives were performed, and based on kinetic studies, we propose the involvement of a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway. Analysis of the reaction products after the reaction of 2 with 4-OMe-DTBP showed the formation of a Ni(II) complex (1a) where one of the alkoxide arms of the ligand is protonated. A pKa value of 24.2 was estimated for 1a. The reaction of 2-Mn+ species was examined with 4-OMe-DTBP, and it was observed that the k2 values of 2-Mn+ species increase by increasing the Lewis acidity of redox-inactive metal ions. However, the obtained k2 values for 2-Mn+ species are much lower compared to the k2 value for 2. Such a variation of PCET reactivity between 2 and 2-Mn+ species may be attributed to the interactions between Ni(III) and LAs. Our findings show the significance of the secondary coordination sphere effect on the PCET reactivity of Ni(III) complexes and furnish important insights into the reaction mechanism involving high-valent nickel species, which are frequently invoked as key intermediates in Ni-mediated enzymatic reactions, solar-fuel catalysis, and biomimetic/synthetic transformation reactions.

Abstract
Heme compound II models bearing electron-deficient and -rich porphyrins, [FeIV(O)(TPFPP)(Cl)]- (1a) and [FeIV(O)(TMP)(Cl)]- (2a), respectively, are synthesized, spectroscopically characterized, and investigated in chemoselectivity and disproportionation reactions using cyclohexene as a mechanistic probe. Interestingly, cyclohexene oxidation by 1a occurs at the allylic C-H bonds with a high kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 41, yielding 2-cyclohexen-1-ol product; this chemoselectivity is the same as that of nonheme iron(iv)-oxo intermediates. In contrast, as observed in heme compound I models, 2a yields cyclohexene oxide product with a KIE of 1, demonstrating a preference for C[double bond, length as m-dash]C epoxidation. The latter result is interpreted as 2a disproportionating to form [FeIV(O)(TMP+˙)]+ (2b) and FeIII(OH)(TMP), and 2b becoming the active oxidant to conduct the cyclohexene epoxidation. In contrast to 2a, 1a does not disproportionate under the present reaction conditions. DFT calculations confirm that compound II models prefer C-H bond hydroxylation and that disproportionation of compound II models is controlled thermodynamically by the porphyrin ligands. Other aspects, such as acid and base effects on the disproportionation of compound II models, have been discussed as well.

Abstract
The Fe protein of nitrogenase plays multiple roles in substrate reduction and cluster maturation via its redox-active [Fe4 S4 ] cluster. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble [Fe4 Se4 ] cluster that is used to substitute the [Fe4 S4 ] cluster of the Azotobacter vinelandii Fe protein (AvNifH). Biochemical, EPR and XAS/EXAFS analyses demonstrate the ability of the [Fe4 Se4 ] cluster to adopt the super-reduced, all-ferrous state upon its incorporation into AvNifH. Moreover, these studies reveal that the [Fe4 Se4 ] cluster in AvNifH already assumes a partial all-ferrous state ([Fe4 Se4 ]0 ) in the presence of dithionite, where its [Fe4 S4 ] counterpart in AvNifH exists solely in the reduced state ([Fe4 S4 ]1+ ). Such a discrepancy in the redox properties of the AvNifH-associated [Fe4 Se4 ] and [Fe4 S4 ] clusters can be used to distinguish the differential redox requirements for the substrate reduction and cluster maturation of nitrogenase, pointing to the utility of chalcogen-substituted FeS clusters in future mechanistic studies of nitrogenase catalysis and assembly.

Abstract
A combination of Pt L3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES) and DFT (TPSS) calculations have been performed on powder samples of the archetypal platinum porphyrinoid complexes PtII[TpCF3PP], PtIV[TpCF3PP]Cl2, and PtIV[TpCF3PC](Ar)(py), where TpCF3PP2- = meso-tetrakis(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)porphyrinato and TpCF3PC3- = meso-tris(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)corrolato. The three complexes yielded Pt L3-edge energies of 11 566.0 eV, 11 567.2 eV, and 11 567.6 eV, respectively. The 1.2 eV blueshift from the Pt(ii) to the Pt(iv) porphyrin derivative is smaller than expected for a formal two-electron oxidation of the metal center. A rationale was provided by DFT-based Hirshfeld which showed that the porphyrin ligand in the Pt(iv) complex is actually substantially oxidized relative to that in the Pt(ii) complex. The much smaller blueshift of 0.4 eV, going from PtIV[TpCF3PP]Cl2, and PtIV[TpCF3PC](Ar)(py), is ascribable to the significantly stronger ligand field in the latter compound.

Abstract
The fundamental understanding of the surface reconstruction induced by the applied potential is of great significance for enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, we show that a previously overlooked discharge current in the low applied potential region also leads to in situ electrochemical activation of a nitrogen-doped nickel oxyhydroxide surface. We exploit the fact that doping of heteroatoms weakens the surface structure, and hence, a weak discharge current originating from the capacitive nature of nickel oxyhydroxide has a strong structure-reforming ability to promote the formation of nitrogen and oxygen vacancies. The current density at 1.4 V (vs. Hg/HgO) can dramatically increase by as much as 31.3 % after discharge in the low applied potential region. This work provides insight into in situ enhancement of the OER and suggests that the low applied potential region must be a primary consideration in evaluating the origin of the activity of electrocatalysts.

Abstract
A terminal FeIIIOH complex, [FeIII(L)(OH)]2− (1), has been synthesized and structurally characterized (H4L = 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamido)benzene). The oxidation reaction of 1 with one equiv. of tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBAH) or ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in acetonitrile at −45 °C results in the formation of a FeIIIOH ligand radical complex, [FeIII(L˙)(OH)]− (2), which is hereby characterized by UV-visible, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques. The reaction of 2 with a triphenylcarbon radical further gives triphenylmethanol and mimics the so-called oxygen rebound step of Cpd II of cytochrome P450. Furthermore, the reaction of 2 was explored with different 4-substituted-2,6-di-tert-butylphenols. Based on kinetic analysis, a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism has been established. A pKa value of 19.3 and a BDFE value of 78.2 kcal/mol have been estimated for complex 2. One-electron oxidation of an FeIII–OH complex (1) results in the formation of a FeIII–OH ligand radical complex (2). Its reaction with (C6H5)3C˙ results in the formation of (C6H5)3COH, which is a functional mimic of compound II of cytochrome P450.![]()

Abstract
Time-resolved X-ray (Tr-XAS) and optical transient absorption (OTA) spectroscopy on the pico-microsecond timescale coupled with density functional theory calculations are applied to study the light-induced spin crossover processes of a Fe-based macrocyclic complex in solution. Tr-XAS analysis after light illumination shows the formation of a seven-coordinated high-spin quintet metastable state, which relaxes to a six-coordinated high-spin configuration before decaying to the ground state. Kinetic analysis of the macrocyclic complex reveals an unprecedented long-lived decay lifetime of approximately 42.6 μs. Comparative studies with a non-macrocyclic counterpart illustrate a significantly shortened approximately 568-fold decay lifetime of about 75 ns, and highlight the importance of the ligand arrangement in stabilizing the reactivity of the excited state. Lastly, OTA analysis shows the seven-coordinated high-spin state to be formed within approximately 6.2 ps. These findings provide a complete understanding of the spin crossover reaction and relaxation pathways of the macrocyclic complex, and reveal the importance of a flexible coordination environment for their rational design.

Abstract
A systematic series of four novel homo‐ and heteroleptic CuI photosensitizers based on tetradentate 1,10‐phenanthroline ligands of the type X^N^N^X containing two additional donor moieties in the 2,9‐position (X=SMe or OMe) were designed. Their solid‐state structures were assessed by X‐ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry, UV‐vis absorption, emission and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy were then used to determine their electrochemical, photophysical and structural features in solution. Following, time‐resolved X‐ray absorption spectroscopy in the picosecond time scale, coupled with time‐dependent density functional theory calculations, provided in‐depth information on the excited state electron configurations. For the first time, a significant shortening of the Cu−X distance and a change in the coordination mode to a pentacoordinated geometry is shown in the excited states of the two homoleptic complexes. These findings are important with respect to a precise understanding of the excited state structures and a further stabilization of this type of photosensitizers.

Abstract
Metal ligand cooperativity is a powerful strategy in transition metal chemistry. This type of mechanism for the activation of O2 is best exemplified by heme centers in biological systems. While aerobic oxidations with Fe and Cu are well precedented, Ni-based oxidations are frequently less common due to less-accessible metal-based redox couples. Some Ni enzymes utilize special ligand environments for tuning the Ni(II)/(III) redox couple such as strongly donating thiolates in Ni superoxide dismutase. A recently characterized example of a Ni-containing protein, however, suggests an alternative strategy for mediating redox chemistry with Ni by utilizing ligand-based reducing equivalents to enable oxygen binding. While this mechanism has little synthetic precedent, we show here that Ni complexes of the redox-active ligand tBu,TolDHP (tBu,TolDHP = 2,5-bis((2-t-butylhydrazono)(p-tolyl)methyl)-pyrrole) activate O2 to generate a Ni(II) superoxo complex via ligand-based electron transfer. This superoxo complex is competent for stoichiometric oxidation chemistry with alcohols and hydrocarbons. This work demonstrates that coupling ligand-based redox chemistry with functionally redox-inactive Ni centers enables oxidative transformations more commonly mediated by metals such as Fe and Cu.

Abstract
NifB is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme that is essential for nitrogenase cofactor assembly. Previously, a nitrogen ligand was shown to be involved in coupling a pair of [Fe4S4] clusters (designated K1 and K2) concomitant with carbide insertion into an [Fe8S9C] cofactor core (designated L) on NifB. However, the identity and function of this ligand remain elusive. Here, we use combined mutagenesis and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance analyses to establish histidine-43 of Methanosarcina acetivorans NifB (MaNifB) as the nitrogen ligand for K1. Biochemical and continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance data demonstrate the inability of MaNifB to serve as a source for cofactor maturation upon substitution of histidine-43 with alanine; whereas x-ray absorption spectroscopy/extended x-ray fine structure experiments further suggest formation of an intermediate that lacks the cofactor core arrangement in this MaNifB variant. These results point to dual functions of histidine-43 in structurally assisting the proper coupling between K1 and K2 and concurrently facilitating carbide formation via deprotonation of the initial carbon radical. NifB is a radical SAM enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the Mo-nitrogenase cofactor, which is responsible for the ambient conversion of N2 to NH3. Here, the authors identify and uncover the function of a His43 residue as an essential nitrogen ligand of NifB in cofactor biosynthesis.

Abstract
A common characteristic of many "overdoped" cuprates prepared with high-pressure oxygen is T c values ≥ 50 K that often exceed that of optimally doped parent compounds, despite O stoichiometries that place the materials at the edge or outside of the conventional boundary between superconducting and normal Fermi liquid states. X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements at 52 K on samples of high-pressure oxygen (HPO) YSr2Cu2.75Mo0.25O7.54, T c = 84 K show that the Mo is in the (VI) valence in an unusually undistorted octahedral geometry with predominantly Mo neighbors that is consistent with its assigned substitution for Cu in the chain sites of the structure. Perturbations of the Cu environments are minimal, although the Cu X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) differs from that in other cuprates. The primary deviation from the crystal structure is therefore nanophase separation into Mo- and Cu-enriched domains. There are, however, indications that the dynamical attributes of the structure are altered relative to YBa2Cu3O7, including a shift of the Cu-apical O two-site distribution from the chain to the plane Cu sites. Another effect that would influence T c is the possibility of multiple bands at the Fermi surface caused by the presence of the second phase and the lowering of the Fermi level.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been regarded as prospective cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to tunable chemical composition and structure. Herein, a high-performance rhombohedral nickel hexacyanoferrate is synthesized via a controllable low-temperature reaction process. It can deliver impressive capacity retention of 87.8% after 10 000 cycles at 10C and high rate discharge capacity of 53 mAh g-1 at 40C. According to the structural evolution and lattice water movement, superior electrochemical performance is ascribed to small lattice alteration and high reversibility of rhombohedral-cubic transition upon Na+ insertion/extraction. The environment information of local- and long-range structure evolution is revealed by ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). Importantly, lattice water movement during cycling by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements offers an experimental validation about Na+ nonlinear migration path, as well as the accumulative lattice distortion effect from large-size Na(OH2)+ unit. The revealed mechanism points out the modified path for PBAs.

A mail-in and user facility for X-ray absorption near-edge structure: the CEI-XANES laboratory X-ray spectrometer at the University of Washington. JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION 2019; 26:2086-2093. [PMID: 31721755 DOI: 10.1107/s1600577519012839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
There are more than 100 beamlines or endstations worldwide that frequently support X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements, thus providing critical enabling capability for research across numerous scientific disciplines. However, the absence of a supporting tier of more readily accessible, lower-performing options has caused systemic inefficiencies, resulting in high oversubscription and the omission of many scientifically and socially valuable XAFS applications that are incompatible with the synchrotron facility access model. To this end, this work describes the design, performance and uses of the Clean Energy Institute X-ray absorption near-edge structure (CEI-XANES) laboratory spectrometer and its use as both a user-present and mail-in facility. Such new additions to the XAFS infrastructure landscape raise important questions about the most productive interactions between synchrotron radiation and laboratory-based capabilities; this can be discussed in the framework of five categories, only one of which is competitive. The categories include independent operation on independent problems, use dictated by convenience, pre-synchrotron preparatory use of laboratory capability, post-synchrotron follow-up use of laboratory capability, and parallel use of both synchrotron radiation and laboratory systems.

Abstract
Nitrogenases catalyze the reduction of N2 to NH4 + at its cofactor site. Designated the M-cluster, this [MoFe7 S9 C(R-homocitrate)] cofactor is synthesized via the transformation of a [Fe4 S4 ] cluster pair into an [Fe8 S9 C] precursor (designated the L-cluster) prior to insertion of Mo and homocitrate. We report the characterization of an eight-iron cofactor precursor (designated the L*-cluster), which is proposed to have the composition [Fe8 S8 C] and lack the "9th sulfur" in the belt region of the L-cluster. Our X-ray absorption and electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) analyses strongly suggest that the L*-cluster represents a structural homologue to the l-cluster except for the missing belt sulfur. The absence of a belt sulfur from the L*-cluster may prove beneficial for labeling the catalytically important belt region, which could in turn facilitate investigations into the reaction mechanism of nitrogenases.

Exposing the inadequacy of redox formalisms by resolving redox inequivalence within isovalent clusters. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2019; 116:15836-15841.

Abstract
In this report we examine a family of trinuclear iron complexes by multiple-wavelength, anomalous diffraction (MAD) to explore the redox load distribution within cluster materials by the free refinement of atomic scattering factors. Several effects were explored that can impact atomic scattering factors within clusters, including 1) metal atom primary coordination sphere, 2) M-M bonding, and 3) redox delocalization in formally mixed-valent species. Complexes were investigated which vary from highly symmetric to fully asymmetric by 57Fe Mössbauer and X-ray diffraction to explore the relationship between MAD-derived data and the data available from these widely used characterization techniques. The compounds examined include the all-ferrous clusters [ n Bu4N][(tbsL)Fe3(μ3-Cl)] (1) ([tbsL]6- = [1,3,5-C6H9(NC6H4-o-NSi t BuMe2)3]6-]), (tbsL)Fe3(py) (2), [K(C222)]2[(tbsL)Fe3(μ3-NPh)] (4) (C222 = 2,2,2-cryptand), and the mixed-valent (tbsL)Fe3(μ3-NPh) (3). Redox delocalization in mixed-valent 3 was explored with cyclic voltammetry (CV), zero-field 57Fe Mössbauer, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography techniques. We find that the MAD results show an excellent correspondence to 57Fe Mössbauer data; yet also can distinguish between subtle changes in local coordination geometries where Mössbauer cannot. Differences within aggregate oxidation levels are evident by systematic shifts of scattering factor envelopes to increasingly higher energies. However, distinguishing local oxidation levels in iso- or mixed-valent materials can be dramatically obscured by the degree of covalent intracore bonding. MAD-derived atomic scattering factor data emphasize in-edge features that are often difficult to analyze by X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Thus, relative oxidation levels within the cluster were most reliably ascertained from comparing the entire envelope of the atomic scattering factor data.

Abstract
The synthesis, structural characterization, and electrochemical behavior of the neutral Mn(azpy)(CO)3(Br) 4 (azpy = 2-phenylazopyridine) complex is reported and compared with its structural analogue Mn(bipy)(CO)3(Br) 1 (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine). 4 exhibits reversible two-electron reduction at a mild potential (-0.93 V vs Fc+/0 in acetonitrile) in contrast to 1, which exhibits two sequential one-electron reductions at -1.68 V and -1.89 V vs Fc+/0 in acetonitrile. The key electronic structure differences between 1 and 4 that lead to disparate electrochemical properties are investigated using a combination of Mn-K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Mn-Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), and density functional theory (DFT) on 1, 4, their debrominated analogues, [Mn(L)(CO)3(CH3CN)][CF3SO3] (L = bipy 2, azpy 5), and two-electron reduced counterparts [Mn(bipy)(CO)3][K(18-crown-6)] 3 and [Mn(azpy)(CO)3][Cp2Co] 6. The results reveal differences in the distribution of electrons about the CO and bidentate ligands (bipy and azpy), particularly upon formation of the highly reduced, formally Mn(-1) species. The data show that the degree of ligand noninnocence and resulting redox-activity in Mn(L)(CO)3 type complexes impacts not only the reducing power of such systems, but the speciation of the reduced complexes via perturbation of the monomer-dimer equilibrium in the singly reduced Mn(0) state. This study highlights the role of redox-active ligands in tuning the reactivity of metal centers involved in electrocatalytic transformations.

Abstract
The question of ligand noninnocence in Cu corroles has long been a topic of discussion. Presented herein is a Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study, which provides a direct probe of the metal oxidation state, of three Cu corroles, Cu[TPC], Cu[Br8TPC], and Cu[(CF3)8TPC] (TPC = meso-triphenylcorrole), and the analogous Cu(II) porphyrins, Cu[TPP], Cu[Br8TPP], and Cu[(CF3)8TPP] (TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin). The Cu K rising-edges of the Cu corroles were found to be about 0-1 eV upshifted relative to the analogous porphyrins, which is substantially lower than the 1-2 eV shifts typically exhibited by authentic Cu(II)/Cu(III) model complex pairs. In an unusual twist, the Cu K pre-edge regions of both the Cu corroles and the Cu porphyrins exhibit two peaks split by 0.8-1.3 eV. Based on time-dependent density functional theory calculations, the lower- and higher-energy peaks were assigned to a Cu 1s → 3d x2- y2 transition and a Cu 1s → corrole/porphyrin π* transition, respectively. From the Cu(II) porphyrins to the corresponding Cu corroles, the energy of the Cu 1s → 3d x2- y2 transition peak was found to upshift by 0.6-0.8 eV. This shift is approximately half that observed between Cu(II) to Cu(III) states for well-defined complexes. The Cu K-edge XAS spectra thus show that although the metal sites in the Cu corroles are more oxidized relative to those in their Cu(II) porphyrin analogues, they are not oxidized to the Cu(III) level, consistent with the notion of a noninnocent corrole. The relative importance of σ-donation versus corrole π-radical character is discussed.
