Metal oxo complexes can serve as oxidants in chemical and biological systems, with activation by Lewis or Brønsted acids. Weak Lewis and Brønsted acids, such as Ca2+ and CH3CO2H, can efficiently activate RuO4- and exhibit cooperative effects, enhancing the oxidation efficiency.
Metal oxo (M=O) complexes are common oxidants in chemical and biological systems. The use of Lewis acids to activate metal oxo species has attracted great interest in recent years, especially after the discovery of the CaMn4O5 cluster in the oxygen-evolving centre of photosystem II. Strong Lewis acids such as Sc3+ and BF3, as well as strong Bronsted acids such as H2SO4 and CF3SO3H, are commonly used to activate metal oxo species. In this work, we demonstrate that relatively weak Lewis acids such as Ca2+ and other group 2 metal ions, as well as weak Bronsted acids such as CH3CO2H, can readily activate the stable RuO4- complex towards the oxidation of alkanes. Notably, the use of Ca2+ and CH3CO2H together produces a remarkable cooperative effect on RuO4-, resulting in a much more efficient oxidant. DFT calculations show that Ca2+ and CH3CO2H can bind to two oxo ligands to form a chelate ring. This results in substantial lowering of the barrier for hydrogen atom abstraction from cyclohexane.
