The biscatechol, H4BP (4,4′-bis(3-tert-butyl-1,2-catechol)) that can directly connect two redox active catechol moieties was synthesized. Also, tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa), bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(2-quinolylmethyl)amine (bpqa), (2-pyridylmethyl)bis(2-quinolyl methyl)amine (pbqa), and tris (2-quinolylmethyl)amine (tqa) were synthesized as terminal ligands of the tetracoordinated tripod. In total, five different dinuclear Co complexes were synthesized from H4BP with various terminal ligands as follows, [Co2(BP)(tpa)2](PF6)2(1), [Co2(BP)(tpa)2](PF6)3(2), [Co2(BP)(bpqa)2](PF6)2(3), [Co2(BP)(pbqa)2](PF6)2(4), and [Co2(BP)(tqa)2](PF6)2(5). After a one-electron oxidation reaction of complex (1), complex (2), was isolated as a mixed valence state lsCoIII-[SQ-Cat]-lsCoIII, with an absorption intensity of about 1370 nm (intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) bands) in CH3CN solution. In addition, an investigation of the magnetic properties of the dinuclear Co complex (3) with SQUID showed that theχMTvalue gradually increased as the temperature increased from 280 to 380 K. Studies in the solid and solution states using electronic spectra, cyclic voltammetry and SQUID for the above complexes provide clear evidence for three different charge distributions: complexes (1) and (3) are CoIII-[Cat-Cat]-CoIII, complex (2) is CoIII-[Sq-Cat]-CoIII, complexes (4) and (5) are CoII-[Sq-Sq]-CoII. Of the five cobalt dinuclear complexes, only complex (3) shows evidence of the temperature dependence of the charge distribution, displaying a thermally induced valence tautomeric transition from the lsCoIII-[Cat-Cat]-lsCoIIIto hsCoII-[Sq-Sq]-hsCoIIin both solid and solution states. However, this valence tautomeric step is incomplete at 380 K, with the?χMT?value of hsCoII-[Sq-Sq]-hsCoII. This suggests that the steric hindrance of the quinolyl rings around the Co ion produces a coordination atmosphere that is weaker than that observed with pyridyl rings, which facilitates a change in the CoIIIions to CoII

Two types of biscatechol, namely H4L1 (5,5′-(buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl)bis(3-t-butylcatechol)) and H4L2 (5,5′-(ethyne-1,2-diyl)bis(3-t-butylcatechol)) were synthesized. In these ligands, two redox active catechol moieties are connected by one or two triple bonds. Also, tpa (tris(2-pyridylmethyl) amine), bpqa (bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(2-quinolylmethyl)amine) and pbqa ((2-pyridylmethyl)bis(2-quinolylmethyl)amine) were synthesized as terminal ligands of the tetracoordinated tripod type. In total, six dinuclear Co complexes were synthesized from these biscatechol and terminal ligands as follows: [Co2(L1)(tpa)2](BF4)2 (1), [Co2(L1)(bpqa)2](PF6)2 (2), [Co2(L1)(pbqa)2](PF6)2 (3), [Co2(L2)(tpa)2](BF4)2 (4), [Co2(L2)(bpqa)2](PF6)2 (5), [Co2(L2)(pbqa)2](PF6)2 (6). Of the six dinuclear Co complexes, complex 6, which was isolated as a mixed valent state CoII(HS)-[SQ-Cat]-CoIII(LS) compound, showed an absorption intensity at around 703 nm (MLCT bands) that increased with increasing temperature in acetonitrile solution. In addition, an investigation of the magnetic properties of the complex 6 with SQUID showed that the χMT value gradually increased as the temperature increased from 150 to 380 K. This suggests that a transition from CoIII(LS) (S = 0) to CoII(HS) (S = 3/2) accompanies the temperature rise. This means the steric hindrance and electronic effect of the quinolyl groups around the Co ion produce a coordination atmosphere weaker than that of pyridyl groups, with the result that the CoIII ions easily convert to CoII ions.

Can't fight the SEEPR: Simultaneous electrochemical electron paramagnetic resonance reveals that a molecule containing the nitronyl nitroxide (NN) radical (structure and red layer) is redox-active, with switchability between oxidized and reduced states. An organic NN radical device utilizes the dual p- and n-type properties in a memory device. Copyright
Elucidation of the catalytic mechanisms of the non-haem iron-dependent catechol dioxygenases: Synthesis of carba-analogues for hydroperoxide reaction intermediates

The catalytic mechanisms of the non-haem iron-dependent intradiol and extradiol catechol dioxygenases are thought to involve transient hydroperoxide reaction intermediates, formed by reaction of a catechol substrate with dioxygen. The synthesis of carba-analogues of these intermediates is described in which the hydroperoxide functional group (-OOH) is replaced by a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH), and the cyclohexadienone skeleton simplified to a cyclohexanone. Analogues of the "proximal" hydroperoxide in which the hydroxymethyl group was positioned axially with respect to the ring were found to act as reversible competitive inhibitors (Ki 0.7-7.6 mM) for the extradiol enzyme 2,3-dihydroxyphenylpropionate 1,2-dioxygenase (MhpB) from Escherichia coli, whereas analogues in which the hydroxymethyl group was positioned equatorially showed no inhibition. In contrast, assays versus the intradiol-cleaving protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas sp. showed inhibition only by an analogue containing an equatorial hydroxymethyl group (IC50 9.5 mM). These data support the existence of a proximal hydroperoxide intermediate in the extradiol catechol dioxygenase mechanism, and suggest that the conformation adopted by the hydroperoxide reaction intermediate may be an important determinant in the reaction specificity of the extradiol and intradiol dioxygenases.
