We have prepared and characterized a Ni complex with an N(3)S(2) ligand set (1) that represents the first isolable synthetic model of the reduced form of the Ni-SOD (SOD = superoxide dismutase) active site featuring all relevant donor functionality in the proper spatial distribution. As revealed by X-ray crystallography, the axial py-N donor of 1 does not bind Ni(II) in the solid state or in solution like SOD. Oxidation of 1 provides a disulfide-linked dinuclear species, [{Ni(N(3)S(2))}(2)] (2), which we have isolated and characterized. Moreover, the 1 → 2 conversion is reversible, much like redox cycling in the enzyme.
我们制备并表征了一种具有 N(3)S(2)配体的 Ni 配合物(1),它代表了 Ni-SOD(SOD=超氧化物歧化酶)活性位点的还原形式的第一个可分离的合成模型,具有适当空间分布的所有相关供体功能。正如 X 射线晶体学所揭示的那样,1 的轴向 py-N 供体在固态或溶液中不与 Ni(II)结合,就像 SOD 一样。1 的氧化提供了一个二硫键连接的双核物种,[{Ni(N(3)S(2))}(2)](2),我们已经对其进行了分离和表征。此外,1→2 的转化是可逆的,很像酶中的氧化还原循环。
