Cytochromes cо have a quite unique structure in the sense that they are pentacoordinate with a histidyl imidazole group as the fifth ligand. In the oxidized state, these proteins exhibit a unique spin state, a mixed intermediate-(S= 3/2) and highspin (S= 5/2) state that ranges from a mainly S= 5/2 to a mainly S= 3/2 state depending on the bacterial sources and spectroscopic methods applied for the measurements.[1] To reveal the ambiguous spin state of these proteins, both structural and spectroscopic studies with synthetic monoimidazole complexes are necessary. Although we have reported the spin states of a wide variety of [Fe (TMP) L]+ model complexes, we were unable to obtain good crystals for structural studies.[2, 3] In fact, the isolation of monoimidazole complexes is quite difficult because of the formation of stable bisadducts. To date, the only structurally characterized complex is [Fe (OEP)(2-MeIm)] ClO4, reported by Scheidt et al.[4] This complex maintains the S= 5/2 state, at least above 60K. In this paper, we report that the monoimidazole complexes [Fe (oetpp) L] ClO4, in which L is HIm (1), 2-MeIm (2), or 2-MeBzIm (3), exhibit extremely labile spin states, on the basis of 1H NMR, 13CNMR, EPR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1–3 were prepared by the addition of HIm, 2-MeIm, or 2-MeBzIm (1.0 equiv), respectively, to CH2Cl2 solutions of [Fe (oetpp)(thf) 2] ClO4. The black crystal thus obtained was recrystallized from CHCl3/cyclohexane. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray crystallography at 123 and 120 K, respectively. Figure 1 shows the molecular structure of 2; the molecular structure of 1 is given in the Supporting Information. Both 1 and 2 exhibit a highly saddled porphyrin core. The average FeÀNp bond lengths are 1.969 (3) and 1.966 (2) for 1 and 2, respectively; these values are quite close to the average FeÀNp bond length in S= 3/2 [Fe (oetpp)] ClO4, that is, 1.963 (7),[5] and are much shorter than that in S= 5/2 [Fe (OEP)(2-MeIm)] ClO4, that is, 2.038 (6).[4] In contrast, the FeÀNaxial bond length in 2 is longer than that in 1 by 0.013. The axial 2-MeIm ligand is aligned along the NÀFeÀN axis.The deviation of the FeIII ion from the 4N mean plane is rather small (0.26), which is again quite close to that in [Fe (oetpp)] ClO4 (0.25).[5] Table 1 lists the structural parameters of 1 and 2, together with those of some analogous complexes mentioned above.[4–7] The similarity of the structural parameters of 1 and 2 to those of [Fe (oetpp)] ClO4 suggests that 1 and 2 adopt the S= 3/2 state.
