Investigation of Non-Heme Iron-Oxo Intermediates in the Gas Phase
Andris, Erik ; Roithová, Jana (advisor) ; Nachtigall, Petr (referee) ; Klán, Petr (referee)
I used helium-tagging infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of ions in the IR (IRPD) and vis (visPD) range in conjunction with gas-phase reactivity studies to study biomimetic terminal iron-oxo complexes. In first part of the work, I measured IRPD spectra of iron(IV)- oxo complexes of TMC, N4Py and PyTACN amine ligands in different charge states. Results show that the gas-phase Fe=O stretching frequencies are, on average, blue-shifted by 9 cm-1 with respect to the condensed phase. I prepared stereoisomers of [(PyTACN)FeIV (O)(X)]+ complexes (X = CF3COO, NO3) that were in quintet and triplet state using nitrate cleavage method and showed that the Fe=O frequency of these iron(IV)-oxo complexes is not affected by the spin state. Gas-phase reactivity shows that dicationic complexes react with 1,4- cyclohexadiene by hydride transfer and monocationic complexes engage in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the methylene group and oxygen atom transfer to the C=C bond. Variation of the ligand trans to the Fe=O unit has the greatest influence on reactivity, whereas the spin state has a modest effect. In the second part of the work, I prepared and studied gas- phase iron(III)-oxo complexes with N4Py, TPA, TQA and TMC ligands. IRPD and visPD spectra in conjunction with DFT calculations allowed me to assign the...
