Density functional theory investigations of NiN2S2 reactivity as a function of nitrogen donor type and N–H···S hydrogen bonding inspired by nickel-containing superoxide dismutase

Abstract: Density functional theory calculations on a series of six square-planar NiN2S2 complexes have been performed. The nitrogen donor type was varied from diamino in Ni(bme-dmed), 1, to amino-amido in [Ni(mama)]-, 2, to diamido in [Ni(ema)]2-, 3. The sulfur-oxygenated derivative Ni(bme-O2-dmed), 4, and hydrogen-bonded derivatives (5 and 6) of 2 and 3 were also studied. Full geometric optimization and subsequent population analyses were performed using the 6-311g(d,p) basis set. The frontier molecular orbitals for a… Show more

“…4654 We did not observe any reaction between complex 5 and excess O 2 in CH 2 Cl 2 , even after prolonged stirring for several days. Solutions of the mono-reduced nickel(II) complex [Ni(LN 3 S)] 0 generated from Na/Hg amalgam in THF were next tested for their reactivity toward O 2 .…”

“…This lack of reactivity is in contrast to the iron analogs, as well as some nickel-thiolate complexes that do react with O 2 to give S-oxygenated sulfinato and sulfonato products, although these reactions can be sluggish. 4654 …”

“…In addition, our calculations indicate that the coordination geometry of the metal center and conformation of the ligand backbones play a major role in determining the composition of the redox-active orbitals. [60] This is most apparent for the calculations of 1(py) 2 + and 2(py) 2 + ; the latter complex, for which C 2v symmetry was imposed, possesses a SOMO that has no S p-character. Thus, it www.chemeurj.org is likely that the conformation of the protein side chains is also important in fine-tuning the nature of the electronic structure of the active site of NiSOD.…”

“…[18][19][20] A multitude of possible intermediates and mechanisms, which are further complicated by the possibility of various proton sources as well as a variable spin (high or low) on nickel are theoretically possible. For example, one current study suggests that as O 2 C À approaches the active site, it is protonated before it reaches the central nickel ion.…”
