Popis: It has been before reported that, in addition to hydration of nitriles, the Fe-type nitrile hydratase (NHase) also catalyzes the hydrolysis of tert-butylisocyanide (tBuNC). In order to investigate the unique isocyanide hydrolysis by NHase, we prepared three related Co(III) model complexes, PPh4[Co(L)] (1), PPh4[Co(L-O3)] (2), and PPh4[Co(L-O4)] (3), where L is bis(N-(2-mercapto-2-methylpropionyl)aminopropyl)sulfide. The suffixes L-O3 and L-O4 indicate ligands with a sulfenate and a sulfinate and with two sulfinates, respectively, instead of the two thiolates of L. The X-ray analyses of 1 and 3 reveal trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal structures, respectively. Complex 2, however, has five-coordinate trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with η2-type S–O coordination by a sulfenyl group. Addition of tBuNC to 1, 2, and 3 induces an absorption spectral change as a result of formation of an octahedral Co(III) complex. This interpretation is also supported by the crystal structures of PPh4[Co(L-O4)(tBuNC)] (4) ...
