| Abstract: | Reactions of nonheme FeIII–superoxo and MnIV–peroxo complexes bearing a common tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (TAML), namely [(TAML)FeIII(O2)]2? and [(TAML)MnIV(O2)]2?, with nitric oxide (NO) afford the FeIII–NO3 complex [(TAML)FeIII(NO3)]2? and the MnV–oxo complex [(TAML)MnV(O)]? plus NO2?, respectively. Mechanistic studies, including density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reveal that MIII–peroxynitrite (M=Fe and Mn) species, generated in the reactions of [(TAML)FeIII(O2)]2? and [(TAML)MnIV(O2)]2? with NO, are converted into MIV(O) and .NO2 species through O?O bond homolysis of the peroxynitrite ligand. Then, a rebound of FeIV(O) with .NO2 affords [(TAML)FeIII(NO3)]2?, whereas electron transfer from MnIV(O) to .NO2 yields [(TAML)MnV(O)]? plus NO2?. |
