A few iron(III) 3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate (DBC2-) adducts of the type [Fe(L)(DBC)(CH3OH)], where L is a tridentate substituted monophenolate ligand such as 2-((N-benzylpyrid-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)phenol (H(L1)), 2-((N-benzylpyrid-2-ylmethylamino)-methyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol (H(L2)), 2-((N-benzylpyrid-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol (H(L3)) and 2-((N-benzylpyrid-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)-4-nitrophenol (H(L4)), have been isolated and characterized by elemental and ESI-MS analysis. The spectral and electrochemical properties and dioxygenase activities of the adducts have been studied in methanol solution. Upon varying the substituents on the phenolate ring from electron-releasing to electron-withdrawing, the redox potential of DBSQ/DBC2- couple is shifted to a more positive value indicating an increase in covalency of iron(III)-catecholate bonds. All the complexes elicit cleavage of DBC2- using molecular oxygen to afford both intra- (I) and extradiol (E) cleavage products with the product selectivity (E/I) varying in the range 0.3-1.9. Interestingly, the incorporation of electron-withdrawing substituents facilitates the regioselective extradiol cleavage of catechol while that of electron-releasing substituents facilitate the regioselective intradiol cleavage.

Four half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L1-O)][PF6] (1), [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L2-O)][PF6] (2), [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L3-O)][PF6] (3), [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L4-O)][PF6] (4a), and [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L4-O)][BPh4] (4b) [L1-OH, 4-nitro-6-{[(2′-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)methylamino]methyl}-phenol; L2-OH, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(2′-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)methylamino]methyl}-phenol; L3-OH, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[2′-((pyridin-2-yl)benzylamino)methyl}-phenol; L4-OH, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(2′-imethylaminoethyl)methylamino]methyl}-phenol (L4-OH)], supported by a systematically varied series of tridentate phenolate-based pyridylalkylamine and alkylamine ligands are reported. The molecular structures of 1-3, 4a, and 4b have been elucidated in solution using 1H NMR spectroscopy and of 1, 3, and 4b in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Notably, due to coordination by the ligands the Ru center assumes a chiral center and in turn the central amine nitrogen also becomes chiral. The 1H NMR spectra exhibit only one set of signals, suggesting that the reaction is completely diastereoselective [1: SRu,SN/RRu,RN; 2: RRu,RN/SRu,SN; 3: SRu,RN/RRu,SN; 4b: SRu,RN/RRu,SN]. The crystal packing in 1 and 3 is stabilized by C-H...O interactions, in 4b no meaningful secondary interactions are observed. From the standpoint of generating phenoxyl radical, as investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), complex 1 is redox-inactive in MeCN solution. However, 2, 3, and 4a generate a one-electron oxidized phenoxyl radical coordinated species [2]2+{radical dot}, [3]2+{radical dot}, and [4a]2+{radical dot}, respectively. The radical species are characterized by CV, UV-Vis, and EPR spectroscopy. The stability of the radical species has been determined by measuring the decay constant (UV-Vis spectroscopy).
