We report the single crystal XRD and MicroED structure, magnetic susceptibility, and EPR data of a series of CaMn3IVO4and YMn3IVO4complexes as structural and spectroscopic models of the cuboidal subunit of the oxygen‐evolving complex (OEC). The effect of changes in heterometal identity, cluster geometry, and bridging oxo protonation on the spin‐state structure was investigated. In contrast to previous computational models, we show that the spin ground state of CaMn3IVO4complexes and variants with protonated oxo moieties need not be

Abstract S =9/2. Desymmetrization of thepseudo ‐C 3‐symmetric Ca(Y)Mn3IVO4core leads to a lowerS =5/2 spin ground state. The magnitude of the magnetic exchange coupling is attenuated upon oxo protonation, and anS =3/2 spin ground state is observed in CaMn3IVO3(OH). Our studies complement the observation that the interconversion between the low‐spin and high‐spin forms of the S2state is pH‐dependent, suggesting that the (de)protonation of bridging or terminal oxygen atoms in the OEC may be connected to spin‐state changes. -
Abstract The
syn andanti isomers of [FeIV(O)(TMC)]2+(TMC=tetramethylcyclam) represent the first isolated pair of synthetic non‐heme oxoiron(IV) complexes with identical ligand topology, differing only in the position of the oxo unit bound to the iron center. Both isomers have previously been characterized. Reported here is that thesyn isomer [FeIV(Osyn )(TMC)(NCMe)]2+(2 ) converts into itsanti form [FeIV(Oanti )(TMC)(NCMe)]2+(1 ) in MeCN, an isomerization facilitated by water and monitored most readily by1H NMR and Raman spectroscopy. Indeed, when H218O is introduced to2 , the nascent1 becomes18O‐labeled. These results provide compelling evidence for a mechanism involving direct binding of a water moleculetrans to the oxo atom in2 with subsequent oxo–hydroxo tautomerism for its incorporation as the oxo atom of1 . The nonplanar nature of the TMC supporting ligand makes this isomerization an irreversible transformation, unlike for their planar heme counterparts. -

Abstract Organofunctionalized tetranuclear clusters [(MIICl)2(VIVO)2{((HOCH2CH2)(H)N(CH2CH2O))(HN(CH2CH2O)2)}2] (
1 , M=Co,2 : M=Zn) containing an unprecedented oxometallacyclic {M2V2Cl2N4O8} (M=Co, Zn) framework have been prepared by solvothermal reactions. The new oxo‐alkoxide compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods, magnetic susceptibility measurement, DFT and ab initio computational methods, and complete single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction structure analysis. The isostructural clusters are formed of edge‐sharing octahedral {VO5N} and trigonal bipyramidal {MO3NCl} units. Diethanolamine ligates the bimetallic lacunary double cubane core of1 and2 in an unusual two‐mode fashion, unobserved previously. In the crystalline state, the clusters of1 and2 are joined by hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional network structure. Magnetic susceptibility data indicate weakly antiferromagnetic interactions between the vanadium centers [J iso(VIV−VIV)=−5.4(1 ); −3.9(2 ) cm−1], and inequivalent antiferromagnetic interactions between the cobalt and vanadium centers [J iso(VIV−CoII)=−12.6 and −7.5 cm−1] contained in1 . -
Abstract Reduction of d2metal–oxo ions of the form [MO(PP)2Cl]+(M=Mo, W; PP=chelating diphosphine) produces d3MO(PP)2Cl complexes, which include the first isolated examples in group 6. The stability and reactivity of the MO(PP)2Cl compounds are found to depend upon the steric bulk of the phosphine ligands: derivatives with bulky phosphines that shield the oxo ligand are stable enough to be isolated, whereas those with phosphines that leave the oxo ligand exposed are more reactive and observed transiently. Magnetic measurements and DFT calculations on MoO(dppe)2Cl indicate the d3compounds are low spin with a2[(d
xy )2(π*(MoO))1] configuration. X‐ray crystallographic and vibrational‐spectroscopic studies on d2and d3[MoO(dppe)2Cl]0/+establish that the d3compound possesses a reduced M−O bond order and significantly longer Mo−O bond, accounting for its greater reactivity. These results indicate that the oxo‐centered reactivity of d3complexes may be controlled through ligand variation.
