    Notes: Abstract The approach of CO2 to a series of active site model complexes of human carbonic anhydrase   II (HCAII) and its catalytic hydration to bicarbonate anion have been investigated using semiempirical MO theory (AM1). The results show that direct nucleophilic attack of zinc-bound hydroxide to the substrate carbon occurs in each model system. Further rearrangement of the bicarbonate complex thus formed via a rotation-like movement of the bicarbonate ligand can only be found in active site model systems that include at least one additional water molecule. Further refinement of the model complex by adding a methanol molecule to mimic Thr-199 makes this process almost activationless. The formation of the final bicarbonate complex by an internal (intramolecular) proton transfer is only possible in the simplest of all model systems, namely {[Im3Zn(OH)]+·CO2}. The energy of activation for this process, however, is 36.8 kcal·mol−1 and thus too high for enzymatic catalysis. Therefore, we conclude that within the limitations of the model systems presented and the level of theory employed, the overall mechanism for the formation of the bicarbonate complex comprises an initial direct nucleophilic attack of zinc-bound hydroxide to carbon dioxide followed by a rotation-like rearrangement of the bicarbonate ligand via a penta-coordinate Zn2+ transition state structure, including the participation of an extra active site water molecule.

    Notes: Both reaction steps observed for the substitution of water by thiourea in the complexes [Pt(en)(OH2)2]2+ and [Pt(phen)(OH2)2]2+ (en = ethylenediamine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions using the stopped-flow technique. The substitution of the second water molecule in each complex was also studied under high pressure. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants kobs (s-1) obeyed the equation k1,2obs= k1,2[tu] (tu = thiourea), where “1” and “2” refer to the first and the second substitution reactions, respectively. Kinetic parameters associated with the substitution process are: k1en (25.0°C, pH = 3.0, I = 0.1 M) = 25.6 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 51 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -48 J K-1 mol-1; k2en (same conditions) = 12.1 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 30 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -124 J K-1 mol-1, ΔV# = -7 cm3 mol-1; k1phen (25.0°C, pH = 1.0, I = 0.1 M) = 2900 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 41 kJ mol-1, ΔS# = -41 J K-1 mol-1; k2phen (same conditions) = 1170 M-1 s-1, ΔH# = 37 kJ mol-1, ΔS#= -61 J K-1 mol-1, ΔV# = -5 cm3 mol-1. The temperature and pressure dependence of all the processes studied suggest an associative substitution mechanism. The hydroxo-bridged dinuclear complex [{Pt(phen)(μ-OH)}2]2+ is formed from [Pt(phen)(OH2)2]2+ in aqueous solution unless the solution is very dilute and highly acidic. The X-ray structure of [{Pt(phen)(μ-OH)}2](F3CSO3)2 · 2 H2O was determined. It belongs to the triclinic space group P1­ and has one formula unit in the unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are a = 7.126(5), b = 9.665(5), c = 12.774(7) Å; α = 71.85(5), β = 85.52(5), γ = 73.12(5) deg; V = 799.9(8) Å3. The structure was solved with the Patterson method and refined to R = 0.061. A square planar coordination of the platinum centers is observed, with no deviations from planarity but distortions due to the small bite angle of phen and the four-membered ring. No significant lengthening of the Pt-O bond [mean value: 2.03(1) Å] is observed in comparison with [{Pt(NH3)2(μ-OH)}2]2+.

    Notes: The new diiron complex [Fe2(tbpo){O2As(CH3)2}(CH3O)(CH3OH)](ClO4)3 · 5 CH3OH · 2 H2O (1) containing a (μ-alkoxo)(μ-dimethylarsinato)diiron(III) core was synthesized using the heptadentate ligand N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol (Htbpo). The complex was characterized structurally by X-ray crystallography. 1reproduces the coordination mode and the stoichiometry of the proposed purple acid phosphatase-arsenate inhibitor complex. More importantly, 1 is a good functional model for the activation of small molecules, since the solvent molecule in the coordination sphere of each iron ion can be substituted very easily by a small substrate molecule. This is confirmed by the comparatively high pH-dependent catalase-like activity of 1. In order to study the influence of the cacodylate bridge on the formation of the metastable adduct with hydrogen peroxide, the analogous hydroxo-bridged complex [Fe2(tbpo)(OH)(NO3)2](NO3)2 · CH3OH · 2 H2O (2) was employed. The reactions of 1and 2 with H2O2 were studied as a function of [H2O2], pH, temperature, and pressure, and the kinetic results including the activation parameters are reported. In the case of compound 2 the reaction proceeds in one step, and the observed first order rate constant, kobs, shows a linear dependence on the hydrogen peroxide concentration with a zero intercept. For complex 1 the kinetic traces could be fitted to two exponential functions. One of the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants, kobs1, exhibits a linear dependence on the hydrogen peroxide concentration with a zero intercept, whereas the other rate constant, kobs2, was independent of the hydrogen peroxide concentration. A mechanistic interpretation is presented.Supporting information for this article is available on the WWW under http://www.wiley-vch.de/contents/jc_2005/1999/99068_s.pdf or from the author.
