Abstract
In addition to its primary oxygen-atom-transfer function, cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) exhibits a relatively understudied anaerobic disproportionation reaction (ADO-Fe(III)-SR → ADO-Fe(II) + ½ RSSR) with its native substrates. Inspired by ADO disproportionation reactivity, we employ [Fe(tacn)Cl3] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) as a precursor for generating Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes in buffered aqueous media. A series of Fe(III)-thiolate model complexes are generated in situ using aqueous [Fe(tacn)Cl3] and thiol-containing ligands cysteamine, penicillamine, mercaptopropionate, cysteine, cysteine methyl ester, N-acetylcysteine, and N-acetylcysteine methyl ester. We observe trends in UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, disproportionation rate constants, and cathodic peak potentials as a function of thiol ligand. These trends will be useful in rationalizing substrate-dependent Fe(III)-thiolate disproportionation reactions in metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Cysteine dioxygenation is an important step in the metabolism of toxic L-cysteine (Cys) in the human body, carried out by cysteine dioxygenase enzyme (CDO). The disruption of this process is found to elicit neurological health issues. This work reports a computational investigation of mechanistic aspects of this reaction, using a recently reported tris(2-pyridyl)methane-based biomimetic model complex of CDO. The computed results indicate that, the initial SO2 bond formation process is the slowest step in the S-dioxygenation process, possessing an activation barrier of 12.7 kcal/mol. The remaining steps were found to be downhill requiring very small activation energies. The transition states were found to undergo spin crossover between triplet and quintet states, while the singlet surface remained unstable throughout the entire reaction. In essence, the mechanistic scheme and multistate reactivity pattern together with the relatively small computed rate-limiting activation barrier as well as the exothermic formation energy demonstrate that the model complex is an efficient biomimetic CDO model. In addition, the study also substantiates the involvement of Fe(IV)oxido intermediates in the mechanism of S-dioxygenation by the chosen model complex. The insights derived from the O2 activation process might pave way for development of more accurate CDO model catalysts that might be capable of even more efficiently mimicking the geometric, spectroscopic and functional features of the CDO enzyme.

Abstract
The activation of O2 at thiolate-ligated iron(II) sites is essential to the function of numerous metalloenzymes and synthetic catalysts. Iron-thiolate bonds in the active sites of nonheme iron enzymes arise from either coordination of an endogenous cysteinate residue or binding of a deprotonated thiol-containing substrate. Examples of the latter include sulfoxide synthases, such as EgtB and OvoA, that utilize O2 to catalyze tandem S-C bond formation and S-oxygenation steps in thiohistidine biosyntheses. We recently reported the preparation of two mononuclear nonheme iron-thiolate complexes (1 and 2) that serve as structural active-site models of substrate-bound EgtB and OvoA (Dalton Trans. 2020, 49, 17745-17757). These models feature monodentate thiolate ligands and tripodal N4 ligands with mixed pyridyl/imidazolyl donors. Here, we describe the reactivity of 1 and 2 with O2 at low temperatures to give metastable intermediates (3 and 4, respectively). Characterization with multiple spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis absorption, NMR, variable-field and -temperature Mössbauer, and resonance Raman) revealed that these intermediates are thiolate-ligated iron(III) dimers with a bridging oxo ligand derived from the four-electron reduction of O2. Structural models of 3 and 4 consistent with the experimental data were generated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The combined experimental and computational results illuminate the geometric and electronic origins of the unique spectral features of diiron(III)-μ-oxo complexes with thiolate ligands, and the spectroscopic signatures of 3 and 4 are compared to those of closely-related diiron(III)-μ-peroxo species. Collectively, these results will assist in the identification of intermediates that appear on the O2 reaction landscapes of iron-thiolate species in both biological and synthetic environments.

Abstract
S-Oxygenation of thiophenolate bridges by ethereal hydroperoxides was studied. [NiII2LS(PhCO2)]+ (1), where LS = macrocyclic aminethiolate supporting ligand, is S-oxygenated readily in a mixed methanol/acetonitrile solution with ether/dioxygen at room temperature in the presence of daylight. The reactions were found to depend strongly on the choice of the ether. Uptake of two O atoms occurs in dioxane to give a mixed thiolate/sulfinate complex [NiII2LSO2(PhCO2)]+ (2) containing the rare five-membered Ni(μ1,1-S)(μ1,2-OS)Ni core. In tetrahydrofuran, four O atoms are taken up by 1 to generate the bis(sulfinate) species [NiII2LSO4(PhCO2)]+ (3). A mono-S-oxygenated sulfenate intermediate can be detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The oxygenation reactions proceed in high yields without complex disintegration and invariably provide μ1,2-bridging sulfinates as established by spectroscopy (IR and UV/vis), X-ray crystallography, and accompanying density functional theory calculations. The oxygenation of the S atoms has a strong impact on the electronic structures of the nickel complexes. The monosulfinate complex 2 has an S = 2 ground state resulting from moderate ferromagnetic exchange coupling interactions (J = +15.7 cm-1; H = -2JS1S2), while an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction in 3 shows the presence of a ground state with spin S = 0 (J = -0.56 cm-1).

Abstract
The design of biomimetic model complexes for the cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) is reported, where the 3-His coordination of the iron ion is simulated by three pyrazole donors of a trispyrazolyl borate ligand (Tp) and protected cysteine and cysteamine represent substrate ligands. It is found that the replacement of phenyl groups-attached at the 3-positions of the pyrazole units in a previous model-by mesityl residues has massive consequences, as the latter arrange to a more spacious reaction pocket. Thus, the reaction with O2 proceeds much faster and afterwards the first structural characterization of an iron(II) η2 -O,O-sulfinate product became possible. If one of the three Tp-mesityl groups is placed in the 5-position, an even larger reaction pocket results, which leads to yet faster rates and accumulation of a reaction intermediate at low temperatures, as shown by UV/Vis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. After comparison with the results of investigations on the cobalt analogues this intermediate is tentatively assigned to an iron(III) superoxide species.

Abstract
The activation of dioxygen by FeII(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) is reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 at -135 °C in 2-MeTHF generates a thiolate-ligated (peroxo)diiron complex FeIII2(O2)(Me3TACN)2(S2SiMe2)2 (2) that was characterized by UV-vis (λmax = 300, 390, 530, 723 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.53, |ΔEQ| = 0.76 mm s-1), resonance Raman (RR) (ν(O-O) = 849 cm-1), and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopies. Complex 2 is distinct from the outer-sphere oxidation product 1ox (UV-vis (λmax = 435, 520, 600 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.45, |ΔEQ| = 3.6 mm s-1), and EPR (S = 5/2, g = [6.38, 5.53, 1.99])), obtained by one-electron oxidation of 1. Cleavage of the peroxo O-O bond can be initiated either photochemically or thermally to produce a new species assigned as an FeIV(O) complex, FeIV(O)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (3), which was identified by UV-vis (λmax = 385, 460, 890 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.21, |ΔEQ| = 1.57 mm s-1), RR (ν(FeIV═O) = 735 cm-1), and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, as well as reactivity patterns. Reaction of 3 at low temperature with H atom donors gives a new species, FeIII(OH)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (4). Complex 4 was independently synthesized from 1 by the stoichiometric addition of a one-electron oxidant and a hydroxide source. This work provides a rare example of dioxygen activation at a mononuclear nonheme iron(II) complex that produces both FeIII-O-O-FeIII and FeIV(O) species in the same reaction with O2. It also demonstrates the feasibility of forming Fe/O2 intermediates with strongly donating sulfur ligands while avoiding immediate sulfur oxidation.

Abstract
The iron(II) complexes [Fe(L)(MeCN)3 ](SO3 CF3 )2 (L are two derivatives of tris(2-pyridyl)-based ligands) have been synthesized as models for cysteine dioxygenase (CDO). The molecular structure of one of the complexes exhibits octahedral coordination geometry and the Fe-Npy bond lengths [1.953(4)-1.972(4) Å] are similar to those in the Cys-bound FeII -CDO; Fe-NHis : 1.893-2.199 Å. The iron(II) centers of the model complexes exhibit relatively high FeIII/II redox potentials (E1/2 =0.988-1.380 V vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium electrode, Fc/Fc+ ), within the range for O2 activation and typical for the corresponding nonheme iron enzymes. The reaction of in situ generated [Fe(L)(MeCN)(SPh)]+ with excess O2 in acetonitrile (MeCN) yields selectively the doubly oxygenated phenylsulfinic acid product. Isotopic labeling studies using 18 O2 confirm the incorporation of both oxygen atoms of O2 into the product. Kinetic and preliminary DFT studies reveal the involvement of an FeIII peroxido intermediate with a rhombic S= 1 / 2 FeIII center (687-696 nm; g≈2.46-2.48, 2.13-2.15, 1.92-1.94), similar to the spectroscopic signature of the low-spin Cys-bound FeIII CDO (650 nm, g≈2.47, 2.29, 1.90). The proposed FeIII peroxido intermediates have been trapped, and the O-O stretching frequencies are in the expected range (approximately 920 and 820 cm-1 for the alkyl- and hydroperoxido species, respectively). The model complexes have a structure similar to that of the enzyme and structural aspects as well as the reactivity are discussed.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a Co(II) dithiolato complex Co(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) are reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 generates a rare thiolate-ligated cobalt-superoxo species Co(O2)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (2) that was characterized spectroscopically and structurally by resonance Raman, EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies as well as density functional theory. Metal-superoxo species are proposed to S-oxygenate metal-bound thiolate donors in nonheme thiol dioxygenases, but 2 does not lead to S-oxygenation of the intramolecular thiolate donors and does not react with exogenous sulfur donors. However, complex 2 is capable of oxidizing the O-H bonds of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol derivatives via H atom abstraction. Complementary proton-coupled electron-transfer reactivity is seen for 2 with separated proton/reductant pairs. The reactivity studies indicate that 2 can abstract H atoms from weak X-H bonds with bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) ≤ 70 kcal mol-1. DFT calculations predict that the putative Co(OOH) product has an O-H BDFE = 67 kcal mol-1, which matches the observed pattern of reactivity seen for 2. These data provide new information regarding the selectivity of S-oxygenation versus H atom abstraction in thiolate-ligated nonheme metalloenzymes that react with O2.

Abstract
The synthesis of four new FeII(N4S(thiolate)) complexes as models of the thiol dioxygenases are described. They are composed of derivatives of the neutral, tridentate ligand triazacyclononane (R3TACN; R = Me, iPr) and 2-aminobenzenethiolate (abtx; X = H, CF3), a non-native substrate for thiol dioxygenases. The coordination number of these complexes depends on the identity of the TACN derivative, giving 6-coordinate (6-coord) complexes for FeII(Me3TACN)(abtx)(OTf) (1: X = H; 2: X = CF3) and 5-coordinate (5-coord) complexes for [FeII(iPr3TACN)(abtx)](OTf) (3: X = H; 4: X = CF3). Complexes 1-4 were examined by UV-vis, 1H/19F NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to support the data. Mössbauer spectroscopy reveals that the 6-coord 1-2 and 5-coord 3- 4 exhibit distinct spectra, and these data are compared with that for cysteine-bound CDO, helping to clarify the coordination environment of the cys-bound FeII active site. Reaction of 1 or 2 with O2 at -95 °C leads to S-oxygenation of the abt ligand, and in the case of 2, a rare di(sulfinato)-bridged complex, [Fe2III(μ-O)((2-NH2) p-CF3C6H3SO2)2](OTf)2 ( 5), was obtained. Parallel enzymatic studies on the CDO variant C93G were carried out with the abt substrate and show that reaction with O2 leads to disulfide formation, as opposed to S-oxygenation. The combined model and enzyme studies show that the thiol dioxygenases can operate via a 6-coord FeII center, in contrast to the accepted mechanism for nonheme iron dioxygenases, and that proper substrate chelation to Fe appears to be critical for S-oxygenation.

A nonheme Fe(ii) complex (1) that models substrate-bound cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) reacts with O2 at -80 °C to yield a purple intermediate (2). Analysis with spectroscopic and computational methods determined that 2 features a thiolate-ligated Fe(iii) center bound to a superoxide radical, mimicking the putative structure of a key CDO intermediate.

Abstract
Amino acid metabolism is a significant metabolic activity in humans, especially of sulphur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine (Cys). Cys is cytotoxic and neurotoxic in nature; hence, mammalian cells maintain a constant intracellular level of Cys. Metabolism of Cys is mainly regulated by two thiol dioxygenases: cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase (ADO). CDO and ADO are the only human thiol dioxygenases reported with a role in Cys metabolism and localized to mitochondria. This metabolic pathway is important in various human disorders, as it is responsible for the synthesis of antioxidant glutathione and is also for the synthesis of hypotaurine and taurine. CDO is the most extensively studied protein, whose high-resolution crystallographic structures have been solved. As compared to CDO, ADO is less studied, even though it has a key role in cysteamine metabolism. To further understand ADO's structure and function, the three-dimensional structures have been predicted from I-TASSER and SWISS-MODEL servers and validated with PROCHECK software. Structural superimposition approach using iPBA web server further confirmed near-identical structures (including active sites) for the predicted protein models of ADO as compared to CDO. In addition, protein-protein interaction and their association in patho-physiology are crucial in understanding protein functions. Both ADO and CDO interacting partner profiles have been presented using STRING database. In this study, we have predicted a 3D model structure for ADO and summarized the biological roles and the pathological consequences which are associated with the altered expression and functioning of ADO and CDO in case of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and other human diseases.

Abstract
Mononuclear non-heme iron complexes that serve as structural and functional mimics of the thiol dioxygenases (TDOs), cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO), have been prepared and characterized with crystallographic, spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational methods. The high-spin Fe(II) complexes feature the facially coordinating tris(4,5-diphenyl-1-methylimidazol-2-yl)phosphine (Ph2TIP) ligand that replicates the three histidine (3His) triad of the TDO active sites. Further coordination with bidentate l-cysteine ethyl ester (CysOEt) or cysteamine (CysAm) anions yielded five-coordinate (5C) complexes that resemble the substrate-bound forms of CDO and ADO, respectively. Detailed electronic-structure descriptions of the [Fe(Ph2TIP)(LS,N)]BPh4 complexes, where LS,N = CysOEt (1) or CysAm (2), were generated through a combination of spectroscopic techniques [electronic absorption, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD)] and density functional theory (DFT). Complexes 1 and 2 decompose in the presence of O2 to yield the corresponding sulfinic acid (RSO2H) products, thereby emulating the reactivity of the TDO enzymes and related complexes. Rate constants and activation parameters for the dioxygenation reactions were measured and interpreted with the aid of DFT calculations for O2-bound intermediates. Treatment of the TDO models with nitric oxide (NO)-a well-established surrogate of O2-led to a mixture of high-spin and low-spin {FeNO}7 species at low temperature (-70 °C), as indicated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. At room temperature, these Fe/NO adducts convert to a common species with EPR and infrared (IR) features typical of cationic dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs). To complement these results, parallel spectroscopic, computational, and O2/NO reactivity studies were carried out using previously reported TDO models that feature an anionic hydrotris(3-phenyl-5-methyl-pyrazolyl)borate (Ph,MeTp-) ligand. Though the O2 reactivities of the Ph2TIP- and Ph,MeTp-based complexes are quite similar, the supporting ligand perturbs the energies of Fe 3d-based molecular orbitals and modulates Fe-S bond covalency, suggesting possible rationales for the presence of neutral 3His coordination in CDO and ADO.

Abstract
The rational design of well-defined, first-row transition metal complexes that can activate dioxygen has been a challenging goal for the synthetic inorganic chemist. The activation of O2 is important in part because of its central role in the functioning of metalloenzymes, which utilize O2 to perform a number of challenging reactions including the highly selective oxidation of various substrates. There is also great interest in utilizing O2, an abundant and environmentally benign oxidant, in synthetic catalytic oxidation systems. This Perspective brings together recent examples of biomimetic Fe and Mn complexes that can activate O2 in heme or nonheme-type ligand environments. The use of oxidants such as hypervalent iodine (e.g., ArIO), peracids (e.g., m-CPBA), peroxides (e.g., H2O2) or even superoxide is a popular choice for accessing well-characterized metal-superoxo, metal-peroxo, or metal-oxo species, but the instances of biomimetic Fe/Mn complexes that react with dioxygen to yield such observable metal-oxygen species are surprisingly few. This Perspective focuses on mononuclear Fe and Mn complexes that exhibit reactivity with O2 and lead to spectroscopically observable metal-oxygen species, and/or oxidize biologically relevant substrates. Analysis of these examples reveals that solvent, spin state, redox potential, external co-reductants, and ligand architecture can all play important roles in the O2 activation process.

Abstract
Mononuclear, O2-activating nonheme iron enzymes are a fascinating class of metalloproteines, capable of realizing the most different reactions, ranging from C-H activation, via O atom transfer to C-C bond cleavage, in the course of O2 activation. They can lead us the way to achieve similar reactions with comparable efficiency and selectivity in chemical laboratories, which would be highly desirable aiming at accessing value-added products or to achieve degradation of unwanted compounds. Hence, these enyzmes motivate attempts to construct artificial low-molecular weight analogues, mimicking structural or functional characteristics. Such models can, for instance, provide insights about which of the features inherent to an active site are essential and guarantee the enzyme function, and from this kind of information the minimal requirements for a biomimetic or bioinspired complex that may be applied in catalysis can be derived. On the other hand, they can contribute to an understanding of the enzyme functioning. In order to create such replicates, it is important to faithfully mimic the surroundings of the iron centers in their active sites. Most of them feature two histidine residues and one carboxylate donor, while a few exhibit a deceptively simple (His)3Fe active site. For the simulation of these, the trispyrazolyl borate ligand (Tp) particularly offers itself, as the facial arrangement of three pyrazole donors is reminiscent of the three histidine-derived imidazole donors. The focus of this Account will be on bioinorganic/biomimetic research from our laboratory utilizing Tp ligands to develop molecular models for (i) two representatives of the (His)3Fe-enzyme family, namely, the cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and acetyl acetone dioxygenase (Dke1), (ii) a related but less well-explored variant of the CDO-the 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase-as well as (iii) the 2-His-1-carboxylate representative 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACCO). The CDO catalyzes the dioxygenation of cysteine with O2 to give cysteine sulfinic acid, which could be mimicked at TpFe units in a realistic manner. Furthermore, the successful dioxygenation of 2-aminoethanethiol at the same complex metal fragments lends further support to the hypothesis that the active sites of CDO and the one of 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase, whose structure is unknown, are quite similar. Dke1 is capable of cleaving diketones and ketoesters to give the corresponding carboxylic acids and α-keto aldehydes, and Tp-based models have achieved comparable C-C bond cleavage reactions. The ACCO develops ethylene from ACC in the course of oxidation, and recently this has been achieved the first time for a TpFe model, too.

Abstract
The hitherto most realistic low-molecular-weight analogue for the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACCO) is reported. The ACCOs 2-His-1-carboxylate iron(II) active site was mimicked by a TpFe moiety, to which the natural substrate ACC could be bound. The resulting complex [Tp(Me,Ph) FeACC] (1), according to X-ray diffraction analysis performed for the nickel analogue, represents an excellent structural model, featuring ACC coordinated in a bidentate fashion-as proposed for the enzymatic substrate complex-as well as a vacant coordination site that forms the basis for the first successful replication also of the ACCO function: 1 is the first known ACC complex that reacts with O2 to produce ethylene. As a FeOOH species had been suggested as intermediate in the catalytic cycle, H2 O2 was tested as the oxidant, too, and indeed evolution of ethylene proceeded even more rapidly to give 65 % yield.
