Axial Cu-S(Met) bonds in electron transfer (ET) active sites are generally found to lower their reduction potentials. An axial S(Met) bond is also present in cytochrome c (cyt c) and is generally thought to increase the reduction potential. The highly covalent nature of the porphyrin environment in heme proteins precludes using many spectroscopic approaches to directly study the Fe site to experimentally quantify this bond. Alternatively, L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) enables one to directly focus on the 3d-orbitals in a highly covalent environment and has previously been successfully applied to porphyrin model complexes. However, this technique cannot be extended to metalloproteins in solution. Here, we use metal K-edge XAS to obtain L-edge like data through 1s2p resonance inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). It has been applied here to a bis-imidazole porphyrin model complex and cyt c. The RIXS data on the model complex are directly correlated to L-edge XAS data to develop the complementary nature of these two spectroscopic methods. Comparison between the bis-imidazole model complex and cyt c in ferrous and ferric oxidation states show quantitative differences that reflect differences in axial ligand covalency. The data reveal an increased covalency for the S(Met) relative to N(His) axial ligand and a higher degree of covalency for the ferric states relative to the ferrous states. These results are reproduced by DFT calculations, which are used to evaluate the thermodynamics of the Fe-S(Met) bond and its dependence on redox state. These results provide insight into a number of previous chemical and physical results on cyt c.

The reaction of Co(TPP)Cl and various imidazoles (RIm) has been investigated in acetone and dichloromethane solvents. Kinetic measurements at room temperature as well as low-temperature spectroscopic, conductivity, and kinetic studies show that Co-(TPP)(RIm)Cl is rapidly formed and then slowly converts to Co(TPP)(RIm)2+Cl- in the presence of excess RIm. When the imidazole has a methyl or phenyl group at the N-1 position, the Co(TPP)(RIm)Cl intermediate reacts via rate-determining chloride ionization. With imidazoles bearing a hydrogen at the N-1 position, the chloride ionization is accelerated due to a hydrogen-bonding interaction with the N-H group. Although the cobalt porphyrin complexes react much more slowly than analogous iron porphyrins, the two metalloporphyrins follow the same detailed mechanism and display similar sensitivities to hydrogen-bonding interactions. The reaction of Co(TPP)Cl with imidazoles containing a 2-substituent was also studied in order to probe the effect of steric interactions in the intermediate Co(TPP)(RIm)Cl. When a 2-methyl or 2-phenyl substituent is present, the steric strain with the porphyrin ligand increases the lability of the trans chloride by a factor of at least 10; this may be related to proximal strain present in certain hemoproteins.

The EPR spectra of a wide range of tetraphenylporphyrin complexes of Fe(III) have been investigated as a function of solvent, ligand type, ligand basicity, porphyrin substituents, covalent attachment of axial ligands, and mixed axial ligand coordination.The results show the following: (1) EPR parameters of low-spin bis-axial ligand complexes of Fe(III) porphyrins depend not only on ligand basicity but also on ligand type.Of the three major classes studied, bis(imidazole) and -(aminopyridine) complexes all have similar values of gx, gy, and gz which are nearly independent of ligand basicity, while bis(pyrazole) (and bis(indazole)) complexes have gx, gy, and gz values which tend to converge as ligand basicity increases. (2) The effect of the electron-donating or -withdrawing nature of phenyl substituents on the EPR parameters of a large series of phenyl-substituted (TPP)Fe(N-MeIm)2+ derivatives is very small: The rhombicity V/Δ=0.64+/-0.01 for all complexes, while the tetragonality Δ/λ ranges from 2.97 for electron-donating substituents to 3.33 for electron-withdrawing substituents, the opposite trend from that expected for increasing axial ligand donor strength.No difference was observed in the EPR parameters of unsymmetrically as compared to symmetrically substituted TPP derivatives. (3) Covalent attachment of axial ligands or steric crowding of externally supplied axial ligands in the hope of seeing variation in the EPR parameters with relative axial ligand plane orientation (parallel vs. perpendicular) was not successful in producing pure isomers, and thus no effects on EPR parameters with axial ligand plane orientation were detected. (4) A covalently attached (N-alkylimidazole-TPP)Fe(III) derivative was utilized to allow formation of mixed-ligand low-spin Fe(III) complexes.The alkylimidazole-imidazolate ligand combination was only very slightly more tetragonal than its protonated imidazole counterpart, while the alkylimidazole-pyrazole, 3-aminopyrazole, 1,2,4-triazole, and 2-methylimidazole mixed ligand complexes all had EPR parameters uniquely different from those of the parent bis-ligand complexes.Discussion of these results in light of the g values of membrane-bound cytochromes b, c, and a3 bound to cyanide is also included.
