A N3S(thioether)-ligated Cu(II)-superoxo with enhanced reactivity.

Previous efforts to synthesize a cupric superoxide complex possessing a thioether donor have resulted in the formation of an end-on trans-peroxo-dicopper(II) species, [{(Ligand)Cu(II)}2(μ-1,2-O2(2-))](2+). Redesign/modification of previous N3S tetradentate ligands has now allowed for the stabilization of the monomeric, superoxide product possessing a S(thioether) ligation, [((DMA)N3S)Cu(II)(O2(•-))](+) (2(S)), as characterized by UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopies. This complex mimics the putative Cu(II)(O2(•-)) active species of the copper monooxygenase PHM and exhibits enhanced reactivity toward both O-H and C-H substrates in comparison to close analogues [(L)Cu(II)(O2(•-))](+), where L contains only nitrogen donor atoms. Also, comparisons of [(L)Cu(II/I)](n+) compound reduction potentials (L = various N4 vs (DMA)N3S ligands) provide evidence that (DMA)N3S is a weaker donor to copper ion than is found for any N4 ligand-complex.
