Nitrate reductases (NRs) are molybdoenzymes that reduce nitrate (NO ) to nitrite (NO ) in both mammals and plants. In mammals, the salival microbes take part in the generation of the NO from NO , which further produces nitric oxide (NO) either in acid-induced NO reduction or in the presence of nitrite reductases (NiRs). Here, we report a new approach of VCl (V ion source) induced step-wise reduction of NO in a Co-nitrato complex, [(12-TMC)Co(NO )] (2,{Co-NO }), to a Co-nitrosyl complex, [(12-TMC)Co(NO)] (4,{CoNO}), bearing an -tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand. The VCl inspired reduction of NO to NO is believed to occur in two consecutive oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions, , OAT-1 = NO → NO (r) and OAT-2 = NO → NO (r). In these OAT reactions, VCl functions as an O-atom abstracting species, and the reaction of 2 with VCl produces a Co-nitrosyl ({CoNO}) with V-Oxo ({V[double bond, length as m-dash]O}) species, a proposed Co-nitrito (3, {Co-NO }) intermediate species. Further, in a separate experiment, we explored the reaction of isolated complex 3 with VCl, which showed the generation of 4 with V-Oxo, validating our proposed reaction sequences of OAT reactions. We ensured and characterized 3 using VCl as a limiting reagent, as the second-order rate constant of OAT-2 ( ) is found to be ∼1420 times faster than that of the OAT-1 ( ) reaction. Binding constant ( ) calculations also support our proposition of NO to NO transformation in two successive OAT reactions, as is higher than , hence the reaction moves in the forward direction (OAT-1). However, is comparable to , and therefore sequenced the second OAT reaction (OAT-2). Mechanistic investigations of these reactions using N-labeled-NO and NO revealed that the N-atom in the {CoNO} is derived from NO ligand. This work highlights the first-ever report of VCl induced step-wise NO reduction (NRs activity) followed by the OAT induced NO reduction and then the generation of Co-nitrosyl species {CoNO}.
硝酸还原酶（NRs）是一种钼酶，在哺乳动物和植物中均可将硝酸盐（NO₃⁻）还原为亚硝酸盐（NO₂⁻）。在哺乳动物中，唾液微生物参与了从NO₃⁻生成NO₂⁻的过程，在酸诱导的NO₂⁻还原或存在亚硝酸还原酶（NiRs）的情况下，NO₂⁻会进一步生成一氧化氮（NO）。在此，我们报道了一种新方法，即VCl（V离子源）诱导钴-硝酸根配合物[(12-TMC)Co(NO₃)]（2，{Co-NO₃}）中的NO₃⁻逐步还原为钴-亚硝酰配合物[(12-TMC)Co(NO)]（4，{CoNO}），该配合物带有一个1,4,8,11-四甲基环四胺（TMC）配体。据信，VCl引发的NO₃⁻到NO₂⁻的还原发生在两个连续的氧原子转移（OAT）反应中，即OAT-1 = NO₃⁻ → NO₂⁻（反应速率r₁）和OAT-2 = NO₂⁻ → NO（反应速率r₂）。在这些OAT反应中，VCl充当氧原子提取物种，2与VCl的反应生成带有V-氧代（{V═O}）物种的钴-亚硝酰（{CoNO}），即一种推测的钴-亚硝酸根（3，{Co-NO₂}）中间体物种。此外，在另一个单独的实验中，我们研究了分离出的配合物3与VCl的反应，结果表明生成了带有V-氧代的4，这验证了我们提出的OAT反应序列。我们以VCl作为限量试剂确保并表征了3，因为发现OAT-2（k₂）的二级反应速率常数比OAT-1（k₁）反应的速率常数快约1420倍。结合常数（K）计算也支持我们关于在两个连续的OAT反应中NO₃⁻到NO₂⁻转化的观点，因为K₂高于K₁，因此反应朝着正方向（OAT-1）进行。然而，K₃与K₂相当，因此确定了第二个OAT反应（OAT-2）的顺序。使用N标记的NO₃⁻和NO₂⁻对这些反应进行的机理研究表明，{CoNO}中的N原子源自NO₃⁻配体。这项工作首次报道了VCl诱导的逐步NO₃⁻还原（NRs活性），随后是OAT诱导的NO₂⁻还原，然后生成钴-亚硝酰物种{CoNO}。
