Construction of functional synthetic systems that can reversibly bind and transport the most biologically important gaseous molecules, oxygen and nitric oxide (NO), remains a contemporary challenge. Myoglobin and nitrophorin perform these respective tasks employing a protein-embedded heme center where one axial iron site is occupied by a histidine residue and the other is available for small molecule ligation, structural features that are extremely difficult to mimic in protein-free environments. Indeed, the hitherto reported designs rely on sophisticated multistep syntheses for limiting access to one of the two axial coordination sites in small molecules. We have shown previously that binuclear Ga(III) and Al(III) corroles have available axial sites, and now report a redox-active binuclear Fe(III) corrole, (1-Fe)2, in which each (corrolato)Fe(III) center is 5-coordinate, with one axial site occupied by an imidazole from the other corrole. The binuclear structure is further stabilized by attractive forces between the corrole π systems. Reaction of NO with (1-Fe)2 affords mononuclear iron nitrosyls, and of functional relevance, the reaction is reversible: nitric oxide is released upon purging the nitrosyls with inert gases, thereby restoring (1-Fe)2 in solutions or films.

pmcHeme proteins perform a myriad of vital functions, notably including the transport and/or activation of O2 and NO.[1–4] The prosthetic groups of O2-binding myoglobin and NO-transferring nitrophorin are similar in that each contains a 5-coordinate heme with an axial histidine ligand, as well as a vacant trans axial site for binding small molecules.[2,5–9] Design of synthetic systems in which one and only one histidine (or imidazole) is bound in a protein-free environment is challenging, owing to the tendency of both iron(II) and iron(III) porphyrins to be coordinatively saturated.[10] Architecture-like synthesis is one way to obtain coordinatively unsaturated complexes, as exemplified by tethering an imidazole group to a porphyrin core or by sterically blocking a coordination site (a and b in Scheme 1, respectively).[10–12] Mimicking the Fe/Cu active site of cytochrome c oxidase requires an even more elaborate architecture, namely 4 tethered imidazole units of which only one coordinates to the heme along with three others for Cu binding (c in Scheme 1).[13–16]

The motivation of the present investigation was our finding that the binuclear complexes (1-Ga)2 and (1-Al)2 (d in Scheme 1) remain 5-coordinate even in the presence of strongly donating ligands.[17] We reasoned that O2 and/or NO might bind to the vacant axial site in the redox-active Fe(III) analogue (1-Fe)2; and, indeed, the NO reaction with (1-Fe)2 is reversible, in contrast to the irreversible reaction of NO with monomer 2-Fe(N-imid)2.

The bis-pyridine complex 2-Fe(py)2 has been previously reported,[18] but that is not the case for 2-Fe(N-imid)2 which has now been prepared (Figure 1a). Both the axial and equatorial Fe–N bond lengths are shorter in the latter complex: Fe-Nimid = 1.988(4) Å vs. Fe-Npy = 2.030(5) Å; and (average) Fe-Ncorrole = 1.868(5) and 1.894(5) Å for 2-Fe(imid)2 and 2-Fe(py)2, respectively. Of interest is that treatment of either 2-Fe(N-imid)2 or 2-Fe(py)2 with NO led to the formation of an iron nitrosyl, designated 2-Fe(NO). Apparently, both complexes spontaneously lost one axial ligand in solution and another one upon NO binding (Figure S8 and S10), chemistry consistent with earlier studies.[18–20] Once formed, 2-Fe(NO) did not release NO when exposed to nitrogen or air.

Iron insertion into the C10-imidazole-substituted corrole proceeded in 85% chemical yield. The product, an iron(III) dimer (1-Fe)2 (Scheme 1d), was fully characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. Crystal structure analysis confirmed that (1-Fe)2 (Figure 1b) is very similar in structure to the Ga(III) and Al(III) analogues.[17] The coordination geometry of each iron center in (1-Fe)2 is square pyramidal, with an out-of-corrole N4 plane displacement of 0.38 Å. The deviation, which is 0.08 Å greater than that for deoxy Mb (0.30 Å)[21] is comparable to those of the Ga(III) and Al(III) analogues. The average Fe-Ncorrole bond [Fe–Nc = 1.893(8) Å in (1-Fe)2] is 0.14 Å shorter than that in deoxy Mb,[21] as well as in Ga(III) and Al(III) analogues,[17] but slightly longer than in 2-Fe(N-imid)2. Comparison of average Fe–N axial bond lengths between (1-Fe)2 and 2-Fe(imid)2 revealed that the former is longer, 2.099(5) Å vs 1.988(4) Å. The mean plane separation (MPS) of the two corrole subunits in (1-Fe)2 is 2.935 Å, somewhat shorter than in the analogous (1-Ga)2 and (1-Al)2 and more so relative to co-facial porphyrins.[17] This suggests that the attractive π-π interaction between the aromatic rings in (1-Fe)2 is exceptionally strong, a hypothesis that is further supported by electrochemistry (see below). Additional X-ray crystallographic data for the iron complexes are in Table S1 & S2. High-resolution mass spectrometry confirmed that (1-Fe)2 remains dimeric even in the gaseous state, with m/z=1498.0405 for C68H22F20Fe2N12 (Figure S3). Regarding the electronic structure, preliminary investigations disclose that it is EPR-silent at temperatures down to 5 K and according to SQUID has a magnetic moment of 2.9 μB per iron atom at 300 K (Figure S11).

The structural integrity of (1-Fe)2 was examined in solution by UV-vis, electrochemistry, and NMR. The data confirm that (1-Fe)2 remains binuclear even in very dilute solution (7 μM - 5 mM). However, reactions occur when (1-Fe)2 and 2-Fe(N-imid)2 are treated with increasing amounts of N-methylimidazole (N-imid). The initial spectra of the two complexes were quite similar in solution, (bis-amine)Fe(III) corroles are in active equilibrium between the 5- and 6-coordinate states.[22] Transformation to bis-N-imid iron(III) coordination (documented by 590–650 nm absorptions) produced 30% and 100% increases in the Soret intensity for the mono- and binuclear complexes, respectively (Figure S2). This finding is consistent with a more drastic change for (1-Fe)2 from binuclear (pure 5-coordinate) to mononuclear (6-coordinate).

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was employed to investigate inter-subunit interactions upon oxidation and reduction of (1-Fe)2. Anaerobic CV data collected for (1-Fe)2 (0.5 mM, in PhCN containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate) revealed two reduction and two oxidation processes. The oxidation waves were reversible, with half-wave potentials (E1/2) of 0.62 and 0.83 V (Figure 2a). This finding of two reversible corrole-based oxidation reactions indicates that (1-Fe)2 remains intact. Also notable is the 0.21 V redox potential difference, larger than for the analogous Ga(III) complex (1-Ga)2 (ΔE1/2 = 0.17 V),[17] consistent with the earlier discussed smaller interplanar distance in (1-Fe)2.

In contrast, only the second reduction of (1-Fe)2 is reversible. Examination of the same redox event with the mononuclear 2-Fe(py)2 [2-Fe(N-imid)2 is sparingly soluble in PhCN] reveals that its E1/2 value is 140 mV less negative than for the binuclear complex. This is attributable to the meso-imidazole substituent in (1-Fe)2, which is less electron withdrawing than the −C6F5 group of 2-Fe(py)2. However, the difference is much larger for the first reduction reaction: the anodic peaks are −0.9 and 0.46 V for (1-Fe)2 and 2-Fe(py)2, respectively (Figure 2b and S4). This 440-mV difference is clearly attributable to the axial imidazole being a stronger donor than pyridine. Taken together, these results suggest that reduction of the binuclear complex triggers dissociation to the mononuclear form (Figure 2c). Additional support for this proposal is that the reoxidation peaks of the products obtained by single electron reduction are virtually identical for (1-Fe)2 [Epc = −0.38 V, Figure 2b] and 2-Fe(py)2 [Epc = −0.37 V, Figure S4]. The outcome is that the characteristics of (1-Fe)2, featuring iron centers with imidazole and an empty binding site trans to it, are lost upon its reduction to the iron(II) oxidation state. This largely reduced affinity to external ligands is consistent with the two studies that reported the isolation of iron(II) corroles.[42,43]

As nitrophorins have been shown to bind NO in both the Fe(II) and Fe(III) states,[23–26] our focus turned to the study of its reactions with (1-Fe)2. We note that high affinity NO binding has traditionally focused mainly on ferrous model complexes,[11,26–28] not at least because of difficulties of obtaining stable ferric nitrosyl complexes.[29] Treatment of (1-Fe)2 with NO gas in anaerobic tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution immediately converted the initial brick red solution to deep orange, accompanied by a blue shift in Soret absorption (403 to 380 nm) and appearance of a new feature at 504 nm, as well as disappearance of the 724 nm band (Figure 3a). Clear indication for formation of a nitrosyl complex was obtained by recording the CV of (1-Fe)2 in THF solution with dissolved NO gas. A 1.1 V shift in the first reduction peak was observed (Figure 3b), similar to that recorded upon 2-Fe conversion to 2-Fe(NO) (Figure S7), in agreement with a prior report.[31] Importantly, N2 purging the orange solution restored the original brick-red color and electronic spectrum (Figure 3a, blue trace), thereby indicating reversible NO reactivity. In contrast, 2-Fe(NO) did not release NO upon purging and even not on chromatographic columns.

More evidence was obtained by recording the 19F NMR spectrum of (1-Fe)2 in THF-d8 (Figure 4b). Consistent with a dipolar (=pseudo-contact=through space) component being dominant, as in paramagnetic NMR spectra of intermediate spin iron(III) porphyrins,[32–35] all 19F resonances of (1-Fe)2 were shifted in the same direction. That was in the order of ortho->meta-> and para-F: by 41, 6, and 3 ppm, respectively, relative to the diamagnetic analogue (1-Ga)2 (Figure 4a). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the respective resonances also are in the same order: 1.19, 0.14, and 0.11 ppm. Consistent with a binuclear structure (Figure 1b) is the clear separation between the ortho- and meta-F resonances in each of the four identical C6F5 groups.

Upon NO(g) purging of the same solution, the ortho-F resonances shifted from −99 to −140 ppm, followed by meta-F from −158.7 to −163.2 ppm, and para-F from −154.0 to −155.8 ppm (Figures 4b and 4c). These changes clearly point toward a change from para- to diamagnetic complex, consistent with the formation of either a mononuclear 1-Fe(NO) (similar to 2-Fe(NO) whose spectrum is depicted in Figure 4d) or a binuclear 1-Fe(NO)2 complex. Evidence in favor of the first possibility comes from comparison of the spectra in Figures 4a and 4c: the differences between the two kinds of ortho-F and meta-F atoms in (1-Ga)2 are about 2 times larger than in the product obtained from combination of (1-Fe)2 with NO. This finding suggests that NO coordination to (1-Fe)2 triggers dissociation to mononuclear units via detachment of the imidazole that holds them together, consistent with the very strong trans effect of nitric oxide.[36,37] Examination of the same solution by 1H NMR provided even stronger evidence for the formation of 1-Fe(NO). Unlike (1-Ga)2 but much like its free base 1-H3,17 all the β-pyrrole C–H and imidazole N–H resonances appeared in the ‘normal’ aromatic region. This is consistent with the formation of a mononuclear complex in which these H atoms do not experience any diamagnetic current effect from another corrole. A unique finding was that 1-Fe(NO) is only stable in the presence of excessive amounts of dissolved NO(g). Although purging with N2(g) led to a very complex NMR spectrum, pure (1-Fe)2 was isolated following column chromatography. In contrast, NO binding to 2-Fe(N-imid)2 was irreversible; notably, product 2-Fe(NO), which was isolated and fully characterized (Figures 4d and S6–9)[18,39] remained unchanged upon purging with either inert gases or air or upon column chromatography treatment. A plausible explanation for this difference is that attractive forces between macrocyclic subunits (<3 Å distance and largely separated oxidation potentials, see above) enhance the binding of imidazole associated with formation of the binuclear complex.

The robustness of the reversible NO reaction with (1-Fe)2 was tested by recording 8 cycles of NO(g) treatment followed by Ar(g) purging (virtually identical results were obtained with N2(g); and both under ambient light and in the dark). Changes in both the color and λmax of the main absorption were followed (Figure 5a), confirming robust reversible N O reactivity. As NO binding to solid materials is important in many applications,[40] a solution of (1-Fe)2 in CH2Cl2 was drop-cast on a platinum surface of the IR device (Figure 5b, black trace). Repeating the same procedure using a freshly prepared NO-purged solution revealed a new N–O stretching band at 1795 cm−1 (Figure 5b, red trace). This band is attributed to the presence of an iron nitrosyl, and its frequency closely resembled the N–O stretching frequency of 2-Fe(NO) (1800 cm−1, Figure S9, red trace), as well as other monomeric Fe(III) corrole and porphyrin complexes.[19,29,39,41] Notably, the N–O stretching band disappeared when the modified surface was purged with Ar(g) in the case of (1-Fe)2 (Figure 5b, blue trace), while this phenomenon did not occur for 2-Fe(NO).

In summary, we have demonstrated reversible NO reactivity with (1-Fe)2 in which a meso-imidazole moiety of one monomeric unit is coordinated to the iron in the other unit. Nitric oxide binding to one of the vacant axial coordination sites in the binuclear complex occurs even in the ferric state, which triggers dissociation to mononuclear iron-nitrosyls. As NO concentrations are lowered, repopulation of (1-Fe)2 is favored, owing to the strong dimerization driving forces. The discovery of reversible nitric oxide reactivity with (1-Fe)2 paves the way for development of advanced sensing systems and real-time NO concentration monitoring devices.
