A [FeFe]-hydrogenase model (1) containing a chelating diphosphine ligand with a pendant amine was readily oxidized by Fc(+) (Fc = Cp2Fe) to a Fe(II)Fe(I) complex (1), which was isolated at room temperature. The structure of 1 with a semibridging CO and a vacant apical site was determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 catalytically activates H2 at 1 atm at 25 °C in the presence of excess Fc(+) and P(o-tol)3. More interestingly, the catalytic activity of 1 for H2 oxidation remains unchanged in the presence of ca. 2% CO. A computational study of the reaction mechanism showed that the most favorable activation free energy involves a rotation of the bridging CO to an apical position followed by activation of H2 with the help of the internal amine to give a bridging hydride intermediate.
一种[FeFe]-氢化酶模型(1),其中含有一个螯合双膦配体,带有一个悬垂的胺基,很容易被 Fc(+)(Fc = Cp2Fe)氧化为 Fe(II)Fe(I) 配合物(1),1在室温下被分离出来。通过 X 射线晶体学确定了1的结构,其中含有一个半桥连的 CO 和一个空缺的顶端位置。在过量 Fc(+)和 P(o-tol)3 的存在下,配合物1在 25°C 下于 1 atm 下催化 H2 的活化。更有趣的是,1在存在约 2%CO 的情况下,其 H2 氧化的催化活性保持不变。反应机理的计算研究表明,最有利的活化自由能涉及桥连 CO 旋转到顶端位置,然后在内部胺的帮助下激活 H2,生成桥连氢化物中间体。
