Abstract
A discrete peroxynitrite-copper(II) complex, [(TMG3tren)CuII(-OON=O)]+(3), has been generated in solution (ESI-MS, m/z = 565.15; tetragonal EPR) by reacting ·NO(g) with superoxo complex [(TMG3tren)CuII(O2·-)]+ (2). Complex 3 undergoes a thermal transformation to give CuII-nitrite complex [(TMG3tren)CuII(-ONO)]+ (4) (X-ray) along with ca. 0.5 molar equiv dioxygen. A DFT calculation derived structure with cyclic bidentate k2-O,O′-OONO bound peroxynitrite moiety and dx2-y2 ground state is proposed. Experiments using 18O2 suggest that the adjacent peroxo oxygen atoms in 3 are derived from molecular oxygen. Further, 18O2 containing 3 undergoes O-O bond cleavage to form singly 18-O-labeled 4. The results suggest the viability of biological CuI/O2/(·NO) peroxynitrite formation and chemistry, that is, not coming from free superoxide plus ·NO reaction.
