The kinetics and thermodynamics of aqueous iron(III) complexation by 4-CH3OC6H4C(X)N(OH)H (X = O, S) to form Fe(H2O)4(4-CH3OC6H 4C(X)N(O)H)2+ are reported. These data provide a direct comparison between the iron(III) chelation chemistry of hydroxamic oxo and thio acids. A parallel-path mechanism involving Fe(H2O)63+ and Fe(H2O)5OH2+ was found to be operative for both ligands. Equilibrium quotients and microscopic rate constants for the forward and reverse directions of both paths were obtained along with the corresponding ΔH°, ΔH? and ΔS°, ΔS? values. An associative interchange (Ia) mechanism is operative for the substitution of both ligands at Fe(H2O)63+. Data are also presented that support an Ia mechanism for substitution at Fe(H2O)5OH2+, although the associative character in this path may be due to H-bonding interactions between the ligand and coordinated OH-. Initial bond formation at iron(III) for either path occurs at the >C=X (X = O, S) site. The thiohydroxamic acid forms a more stable complex at physiological pH, and aquation by the acid-dependent and acid-independent paths is ca. 50 times slower than for the hydroxamic acid complex. The increased kinetic stability is consistent with enhanced delocalization of the N atom lone electron pair into the C-N bond in the thiohydroxamic acid complex. The chemistry of iron(III) chelation by CH3OC6H4C(S)N(OH)H suggests that siderophores may exist that use the thiohydroxamate moiety for iron(III) binding.
