The nature of the axial ligand in high-valent iron-oxo heme enzyme intermediates and related synthetic catalysts is a critical structural element for controlling proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reactivity of these species. Herein, we describe the generation and characterization of three new 6-coordinate, iron(IV)-oxo porphyrinoid-π-cation-radical complexes and report their PCET reactivity together with a previously published 5-coordinate analogue, FeIV(O)(TBP8Cz+•) (TBP8Cz = octakis(p-tert-butylphenyl)corrolazinato3-) (2) (Cho, K. A high-valent iron-oxo corrolazine activates C-H bonds via hydrogen-atom transfer. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 7392-7399). The new complexes FeIV(O)(TBP8Cz+•)(L) (L = 1-methyl imidazole (1-MeIm) (4a), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (4b), cyanide (CN-)(4c)) can be generated from either oxidation of the ferric precursors or by addition of L to the Compound-I (Cpd-I) analogue at low temperatures. These complexes were characterized by UV-vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies, and cryospray ionization mass spectrometry (CSI-MS). Kinetic studies using 4-OMe-TEMPOH as a test substrate indicate that coordination of a sixth axial ligand dramatically lowers the PCET reactivity of the Cpd-I analogue (rates up to 7000 times slower). Extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with the experimental data show that the trend in reactivity with the axial ligands does not correlate with the thermodynamic driving force for these reactions or the calculated strengths of the O-H bonds being formed in the FeIV(O-H) products, pointing to non-Bell-Evans-Polanyi behavior. However, the PCET reactivity does follow a trend with the bracketed reduction potential of Cpd-I analogues and calculated electron affinities. The combined data suggest a concerted mechanism (a concerted proton electron transfer (CPET)) and an asynchronous movement of the electron/proton pair in the transition state.
