Abstrakt: A handful of oxygen-activating enzymes has recently been found to contain Fe/Mn active sites, like Class 1c ribonucleotide reductases and R2-like ligand-binding oxidase, which are closely related to their better characterized diiron cousins. These enzymes are proposed to form high-valent intermediates with Fe-O-Mn cores. Herein, we report the first examples of synthetic Fe/Mn complexes that mimic doubly bridged intermediates proposed for enzymatic oxygen activation. Fe K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis has been used to characterize the structures of each of these compounds. Linear compounds accurately model the Fe···Mn distances found in Fe/Mn proteins in their resting states, and doubly bridged diamond core compounds accurately model the distances found in high-valent biological intermediates. Unlike their diiron analogues, the paramagnetic nature of Fe/Mn compounds can be analyzed by EPR, revealing S = 1/2 signals that reflect antiferromagnetic coupling between the high-spin Fe(III) and Mn(III) units of heterobimetallic centers. These compounds undergo electron transfer with various ferrocenes, linear compounds being capable of oxidizing diacetyl ferrocene, a weak reductant, and diamond core compounds being capable of oxidizing acetyl ferrocene. Diamond core compounds can also perform HAT reactions from substrates with X-H bonds with bond dissociation free energies (BDFEs) up to 75 kcal/mol and are capable of oxidizing TEMPO-H at rates of 0.32-0.37 M -1 s -1 , which are comparable to those reported for some mononuclear Fe III -OH and Mn III -OH compounds. However, such reactivity is not observed for the corresponding diiron compounds, a difference that Nature may have taken advantage of in evolving enzymes with heterobimetallic active sites.
