Interaction of sulphate and chloride with cobalt(II)-carbonic anhydrase

1990

The interaction between Cobalt(II)-Bovine Carbonic Anhydrase II and the inhibitors sulphate and chloride have been investigated through 1H NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies. Both inhibitors bind to the metal ion forming a 1:1 adduct and the corresponding affinity constants have been determined. These inhibitors interact weakly with CoBCA II and this interaction only occurs at low pH values. The T1 values of the meta-like protons of the coordinated histidines have been measured. The coordination number of the metal ion in the adducts is discussed on the basis of temperature dependence of the isotropic shifts, T1, and molar absorbance values.

The dynamic properties of the M121H azurin metal site as studied by NMR of the paramagnetic Cu(II) and Co(II) metalloderivatives

1998

The M121H azurin mutant in solution presents various species in equilibrium that can be detected and studied by 1H NMR of the Cu(II) and Co(II) paramagnetic metalloderivatives. In both cases up to three species are observed in slow exchange, the proportions of which are different for the two metalloderivatives. Above pH 5 the major species displays a tetrahedral coordination in which the His121 can be observed as a coordinated residue. Its metal site corresponds to a new type of site that is defined as a type 1.5 site. The second and third species resemble the wild type (type 1) azurin and, above pH 4.5, they are present only at a low concentration. At low pH a protonation process increases…

Paramagnetic Cobalt and Nickel Derivatives of Alcaligenes denitrificans Azurin and Its M121Q Mutant. A 1H NMR Study

1996

Using cobalt or nickel to replace copper in native azurin allows one to fingerprint the metal coordination site of the protein. The metal sites of wild type Alcaligenes denitrificans azurin and its M121Q mutant are clearly distinguishable through the paramagnetic 1H NMR spectra of the Ni(II) and Co(II) derivatives. In the wild type azurin, Gly45 coordinates to nickel or cobalt, while Met121 appears as a weak metal ligand. On the contrary, in the M121Q azurin mutant, the metal exhibits a clear preference for the Gln121, which coordinates through the side chain carbonyl oxygen, and Gly45 is not a ligand. Changes in the isotropic shifts and relaxation properties of signals from the Cys112, His…

Single-ion magnet behaviour in mononuclear and two-dimensional dicyanamide-containing cobalt(ii) complexes.

2016

Three cobalt(II) complexes of formulae [Co(dca)2(bim)4] (1), [Co(dca)2(bim)2]n (2) and [Co(dca)2(bmim)2]n (3) [dca = dicyanamide, bim = 1-benzylimidazole and bmim = 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole] were prepared and structurally analyzed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 is a mononuclear species where the cobalt(II) ion is six-coordinate with four bim molecules in the equatorial positions [Co–Nbim = 2.1546(15) and 2.1489(15) A] and two trans-positioned dca ligands [Co–Ndca = 2.1575(18) A] in the axial sites of a somewhat distorted octahedral surrounding. The structures of 2 and 3 consist of two-dimensional grids of cobalt(II) ions where each metal atom is linked to the other fo…

EPR and Magnetic Susceptibility Studies of Cobalt(II)- and Nickel(II)-Substituted Azurins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Electronic Structure of the Ac…

1996

The electronic properties of cobalt(II)- and nickel(II)-substituted azurins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been investigated. EPR data for the cobalt derivative and paramagnetic susceptibility data for the nickel derivative are reported. The EPR spectrum of Co(II)−azurin shows the typical pattern of a Kramers' doublet (±1/2) associated with an S = 3/2 ground state in a distorted axial symmetry environment. The temperature dependence of the EPR intensities shows that this Kramers' doublet is the excited doublet and, therefore, that the corresponding zero-field splitting parameter D is negative (∼−3.5 cm-1). The mean g value is equal to 2.3. Nickel(II) azurin exhibits an effective magnetic …

Coordination Complexes of a Neutral 1,2,4-Benzotriazinyl Radical Ligand: Synthesis, Molecular and Electronic Structures, andMagnetic Properties

2015

A series of d-block metal complexes of the recently reported coordinating neutral radical ligand 1-phenyl-3-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl (1) was synthesized. The investigated systems contain the benzotriazinyl radical 1 coordinated to a divalent metal cation, MnII, FeII, CoII, or NiII, with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato (hfac) as the auxiliary ligand of choice. The synthesized complexes were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and electronic structure calculations. The complexes [Mn(1)(hfac)2] and [Fe(1)(hfac)2] displayed antiferromagnetic coupling between the unpaired electrons of the ligand and the meta…

First Cobalt(II) Spin Crossover Compound with N4S2-Donorset

2020

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel bis-tridentate 1,3,4-thiadiazole ligand (L = 2,5-bis[(2-pyridylmethyl)thio]methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole). Two new mononuclear complexes of the type [MII(L)2](ClO4)2 (with M = FeII (C1) and CoII (C2)) have been synthesized, containing the new ligand (L). In both complexes the metal centers are coordinated by an N4S2-donorset and each of the two ligands is donating to the metal ion with just one of the tridentate pockets. The iron(II) complex (C1) is in the low spin [LS] state below room temperature and shows an increase in the magnetic moment only above 300 K. In contrast, the cobalt(II) complex (C2) shows a gradual spin crossover (S…

The Missing Link in the Magnetism of Hybrid Cobalt Layered Hydroxides: The Odd‐Even Effect of the Organic Spacer

2021

A dramatic change in the magnetic behaviour, which solely depends on the parity of the organic linker molecules, has been found in a family of layered CoII hydroxides covalently functionalized with dicarboxylic molecules. These layered hybrid materials have been synthesized at room temperature using a one-pot procedure through the epoxide route. While hybrids connected by odd alkyl chains exhibit coercive fields (Hc) below ca. 3500 Oe and show spontaneous magnetization at temperatures (TM) below 20 K, hybrids functionalized with even alkyl chains behave as hard magnets with Hc>5500 Oe and display a TM higher than 55 K. This intriguing behaviour was studied by density functional theory with …
