Hydrogen atom transfer reactions of iron-porphyrin-imidazole complexes as models for histidine-ligated heme reactivity

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions of the bis(histidine) cytochrome active site models (TPP)FeII(ImH)2 (FeIIImH) and (TPP)Fe(Im)(ImH) (FeIIIIm) have been examined in acetonitrile solvent (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin, ImH = 4-methylimidazole). The ascorbate derivative 5,6-isopropylidine ascorbate, hydroquinone, and the hydroxylamine TEMPOH all rapidly add H? to FeIIIIm to give FeIIImH. Similarly, the phenoxyl radical 2,4,6-tBu3C6H2O? and excess TEMPO? each oxidize FeIIImH to give FeIIIIm. On the basis of redox potential, pKa, and equilibrium measurements, the N-H bond in FeIIImH was found to have a bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 70 ± 2 kcal mol-1. A hydrogen atom transfer mechanism (concerted transfer of e- and H+) is indicated based on data for the ascorbate and TEMPO? reactions. Copyright

The synthesis of several new imidazole and imidazolate complexes of ferric tetraphenylporphyrine (TPP) are reported.The following coplexes have been made with L = imidazole (ImH) or 4-methylimidazole (4MeImH) and L- = imidazolate (Im-) or 4-methylimidazolate (4MeIm-): FeTPP(L)(L-), -2>-, and (SbF6).Addition of Im- to FeTPPCl resulted in the formation first of the imidazolate-bridged complex + and then of -.Similar addition of 4MeIm- to FeTPPCl resulted in the formation first of the high-spin mononuclear complex FeTPP(4MeIm) and then of -.The affinity of (SbF6) for a second 4MeImH was found to be very high, with K >/= 107 M-1 in toluene, 25 deg C.By contrast, 4MeImH was found preferentially to hydrogen bond to Fe(TPP)(4MeIm), with K ca. 5 * 104 M-1 in THF, 25 deg C.Coordination of 4MeImH was only observed at high concentration of ligand (K ca. 50 +/- 10 M-1).The monoimidazole complex (SbF6) was concluded to be high spin after a comparison of the visible spectral properties of a large number of ferric TPP complexes.
