High-valent metal-oxo species are key intermediates for the oxygen atom transfer step in the catalytic cycles of many metalloenzymes. While the redox-active metal centers of such enzymes are typically supported by anionic amino acid side chains or porphyrin rings, peptide backbones might function as strong electron-donating ligands to stabilize high oxidation states. To test the feasibility of this idea in synthetic settings, we have prepared a nickel(II) complex of new amido multidentate ligand. The mononuclear nickel complex of this N5 ligand catalyzes epoxidation reactions of a wide range of olefins by using mCPBA as a terminal oxidant. Notably, a remarkably high catalytic efficiency and selectivity were observed for terminal olefin substrates. We found that protonation of the secondary coordination sphere serves as the entry point to the catalytic cycle, in which high-valent nickel species is subsequently formed to carry out oxo-transfer reactions. A conceptually parallel process might allow metalloenzymes to control the catalytic cycle in the primary coordination sphere by using proton switch in the secondary coordination sphere.

Dinuclear FeIII and NiII complexes, [(phenO)Fe(N3)]2(NO3)2 (1) and [(phenOH)Ni(N3)2]2 (2), were prepared by treating Fe(NO3)3?9 H2O and Ni(NO3)2?6 H2O in methanol, respectively, with phenOH (=N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine) and NaN3; both 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Two ethoxo-bridged FeIII and two azido-bridged NiII were observed in 1 and 2, respectively; corresponding antiferromagnetic interaction via the bridged ethoxo groups and strong ferromagnetic coupling via the bridged end-on azido ligands within the dimeric unit were observed. Complex 1 did not exhibit any catalytic activity, while 2 exhibited excellent catalytic activities for the epoxidation of aliphatic, aromatic, and terminal olefins.

Using the sterically hindered terphenyl-based carboxylate, the tetrameric Co(ii) complex [Co4(μ3-OH)4(μ-O2CAr4F-Ph)2(μ-OTf)2(Py)4] (1) with an asymmetric cubane-type core has been synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Interestingly, the cubane-type cobalt cluster 1 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as the oxidant was found to be very effective in the epoxidation of a variety of olefins, including terminal olefins which are more challenging targeting substrates. Moreover, this catalytic system showed a fast reaction rate and high epoxide yields under mild conditions. Based on product analysis and Hammett studies, the use of peroxyphenylacetic acid as a mechanistic probe, H218O-exchange experiments, and EPR studies, it has been proposed that multiple reactive cobalt-oxo species CoVO and CoIVO were involved in the olefin epoxidation.
