Protonation of a subsite analogue of [FeFe]-hydrogenase: mechanism of a deceptively simple reaction revealed by time-resolved IR spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide the first detailed time-resolved mechanistic information on the protonation of a model of the subsite of [FeFe]-hydrogenase, [Fe2(mu-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2]; the deceptively simple stoichiometric reaction is shown to be limited by the rate of protonation of the basal-apical isomer followed by its rearrangement to the transoid basal form.

Encapsulating Subsite Analogues of the [FeFe]-Hydrogenases in Micelles Enables Direct Water Interactions.
Encapsulation of subsite analogues of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes in supramolecular structures has been shown to dramatically increase their catalytic ability, but the molecular basis for this enhancement remains unclear. We report the results of experiments employing infrared absorption, ultrafast infrared pump-probe, and 2D-IR spectroscopy to investigate the molecular environment of Fe2(pd...
متن کاملOn the structure of a proposed mixed-valent analogue of the diiron subsite of [FeFe]-hydrogenase.
We show that a dinuclear assembly apparently providing the first example of a synthetic molecule exhibiting key features of the diiron subsite of [FeFe] hydrogenase, viz. CO-bridging of a coordinatively unsaturated, dithiolate-bridged mixed-valence diiron centre, is in fact a diamagnetic tetranuclear complex.
متن کاملMuonium Chemistry at Diiron Subsite Analogues of [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase
The chemistry of metal hydrides is implicated in a range of catalytic processes at metal centers. Gaining insight into the formation of such sites by protonation and/or electronation is therefore of significant value in fully exploiting the potential of such systems. Here, we show that the muonium radical (Mu. ), used as a low isotopic mass analogue of hydrogen, can be exploited to probe the ea...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Investigations of [FeFe] Hydrogenase Maturated with [(57)Fe2(adt)(CN)2(CO)4](2-).
The preparation and spectroscopic characterization of a CO-inhibited [FeFe] hydrogenase with a selectively (57)Fe-labeled binuclear subsite is described. The precursor [(57)Fe2(adt)(CN)2(CO)4](2-) was synthesized from the (57)Fe metal, S8, CO, (NEt4)CN, NH4Cl, and CH2O. (Et4N)2[(57)Fe2(adt)(CN)2(CO)4] was then used for the maturation of the [FeFe] hydrogenase HydA1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardti...
متن کاملCharacterization of a monocyanide model of FeFe hydrogenases - highlighting the importance of the bridgehead nitrogen for catalysis.
An azadithiolate bridged monocyanide derivative [Fe2(adt)(CO)5(CN)]- of [Fe2(adt)(CO)4(CN)2]2- has been prepared and extensively characterized as a model of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site, using a combination of FTIR spectroscopy, electrochemical methods and catalytic assays with chemical reductants. The presence of two basic nitrogen sites opens up multiple protonation pathways, enabling c...
