Artificial enzymatic systems are extensively studied to mimic the structures and functions of their natural counterparts. However, there remains a significant gap between structural modeling and catalytic activity in these artificial systems. Herein we report a novel strategy for the construction of an artificial binuclear copper monooxygenase starting from a Ti metal-organic framework (MOF). The deprotonation of the hydroxide groups on the secondary building units (SBUs) of MIL-125(Ti) (MIL = Matériaux de l'Institut Lavoisier) allows for the metalation of the SBUs with closely spaced CuI pairs, which are oxidized by molecular O2 to afford the CuII2(μ2-OH)2 cofactor in the MOF-based artificial binuclear monooxygenase Ti8-Cu2. An artificial mononuclear Cu monooxygenase Ti8-Cu1 was also prepared for comparison. The MOF-based monooxygenases were characterized by a combination of thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. In the presence of coreductants, Ti8-Cu2 exhibited outstanding catalytic activity toward a wide range of monooxygenation processes, including epoxidation, hydroxylation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, and sulfoxidation, with turnover numbers of up to 3450. Ti8-Cu2 showed a turnover frequency at least 17 times higher than that of Ti8-Cu1. Density functional theory calculations revealed O2 activation as the rate-limiting step in the monooxygenation processes. Computational studies further showed that the Cu2 sites in Ti8-Cu2 cooperatively stabilized the Cu-O2 adduct for O-O bond cleavage with 6.6 kcal/mol smaller free energy increase than that of the mononuclear Cu sites in Ti8-Cu1, accounting for the significantly higher catalytic activity of Ti8-Cu2 over Ti8-Cu1.

Photocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation of terminal olefins using a mononuclear non-heme chiral manganese catalyst, [(R,R-BQCN)MnII]2+, and water as an oxygen source yields epoxides with relatively high enantioselectivities (e.g., up to 60% enantiomeric excess). A synthetic mononuclear non-heme chiral Mn(IV)-oxo complex, [(R,R-BQCN)MnIV(O)]2+, affords similar enantioselectivities in the epoxidation of terminal olefins under stoichiometric reaction conditions. Mechanistic details of each individual step of the photoinduced catalysis, including formation of the Mn(IV)-oxo intermediate, are discussed on the basis of combined results of laser flash photolysis and other spectroscopic methods.

The dinuclear peroxotungstate with a SeO42- ligand, (TBA)2[SeO4{WO(O2)2}2] (I; TBA=[(n-C4Hg)4N]+), could act as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of organic substances such as olefins, alcohols, and amines with H 2O2 as the sole oxidant. The turnover frequency (TOF) was as high as 210 h-1 for the epoxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by I with H2O2. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused with maintenance of the catalytic performance. The SeO42- ligand in I played an important role in controlling the Lewis acidity of the peroxotungstates, which significantly affects their electrophilic oxygen-transfer reactivity. Several kinetic and spectroscopic results showed that the present catalytic epoxidation included the following two steps: (I) formation of the subsequent peroxo species [SeWmOn] o- (II; m=1 and 2) by the reaction of I with an olefin and (ii) regeneration of I by the reaction of Il with H2O2. Compound I was the dominant species under steady-state turnover conditions. The reaction rate for the catalytic epoxidation showed a first-order dependence on the concentrations of olefin and I and a zero-order dependence on the concentration of H2O2. The rate of the stoichiometric epoxidation with I agreed well with that of the catalytic epoxidation with H2O2 by I. All of these kinetic and spectroscopic results indicate that oxygen transfer from I to the C=C double bond is the rate-determining step. The computational studies support that the oxygen-transfer step is the rate-determining step.

A study was conducted to demonstrate olefin-dependent discrimination of two nonheme HO-Fev=O tautomeric species in catalytic H2O 2 epoxidations. Mechanistic studies were carried out under the condition of excess of olefin to minimize over-oxidation reactions and all reactions for the study were carried out under a N2 atmosphere to prevent auto-oxidation process due to presence of O2. It was observed that the diol/epoxide (D/E) ration for these reaction was dependent on the specific olefin and ranged from 3/2 (cyclooctene) to 6/1 (1-octene). The oxidation of cyclooctene using H218O2 revealed that only 28% of the oxygen atoms in the epoxide derived from H 2O2. Mechanistic results suggested that HO-Fe v=O oxidant need to be labeled before its reaction with substrates.
