Peroxynitrite (-OON=O, PN) is a reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which can effect deleterious nitrative or oxidative (bio)chemistry. It may derive from reaction of superoxide anion (O-2(center dot-)) with nitric oxide (center dot NO) and has been suggested to form an as-yet unobserved bound heme-iron-PN intermediate in the catalytic cycle of nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) enzymes, which facilitate a NO homeostatic process, i.e., its oxidation to the nitrate anion. Here, a discrete six-coordinate low-spin porphyrinate-Fe-III complex [(P-Im)-Fe-III(-OON=O)] (3) (P-Im; a porphyrin moiety with a covalently tethered imidazole axial base donor ligand) has been identified and characterized by various spectroscopies (UV vis, NMR, EPR, XAS, resonance Raman) and DFT calculations, following its formation at -80 degrees C by addition of center dot NO(g) to the heme-superoxo species, [(P-Im)Fe-III(I-2(center dot-))] (2). DFT calculations confirm that 3 is a six-coordinate low-spin species with the PN ligand coordinated to iron via its terminal peroxidic anionic O atom with the overall geometry being in a cis-configuration. Complex 3 thermally transforms to its isomeric low-spin nitrato form [(P-Im)Fe-III(NO3-)] (4a). While previous (bio)chemical studies show that phenolic substrates undergo nitration in the presence of PN or PN-metal complexes, in the present system, addition of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2'4DTBP) to complex 3 does not lead to nitrated phenol; the nitrate complex 4a still forms. DFT calculations reveal that the phenolic H atom approaches the terminal PN O atom (farthest from the metal center and ring core), effecting O-O cleavage, giving nitrogen dioxide (NO2) plus a ferryl compound [(P-Im)Fe-v=0] (7); this rebounds to give [(P-Im)Fe-III(NO3-)] (4a).The generation and characterization of the long sought after ferriheme peroxynitrite complex has been accomplished.
