Abstract: | The Ni(II)-dicarboxamido-dithiolato complexes (Et4N)2Ni(NpPepS)] (1) and (Et4N)2Ni(PhPepS)] (2) were used as Nid metallosynthons in the construction of higher nuclearity dinuclear Ni-Cu and Ni-Ni species to model the bimetallic Mp-Nid site of the A-cluster of acetyl coenzyme A synthase/CO dehydrogenase (ACS/CODH). Reaction of 1 with Cu(neo)Cl] and Ni(terpy)Cl2] in MeCN affords the dinuclear complexes (Et4N)Cu(neo)Ni(NpPepS)] (3) and Ni(terpy)Ni(NpPepS)] (4), respectively. Reaction of 2 with Ni(dppe)Cl2] in MeCN yields Ni(dppe)Ni(PhPepS)] (6). The Ni-Cu complex 3 exhibits no redox chemistry at the Nid site and no reaction with CO. In contrast, the Nip sites in 4 and 6 are readily reduced (characterized by their Ni(I) EPR spectra) and bind CO, exhibiting nuco bands at 2044 and 1997 cm-1, respectively, indicating terminal CO binding. The present Ni-Ni systems replicate the structural and chemical properties of the A-cluster site in ACS/CODH and support the presence of Ni at Mp in the catalytically active enzyme. |
