The redox state of the metallomonooxygenases is finely tuned by imposing specific coordination environments on the metal center to reduce the activation energy for the generation of active-oxygen species and subsequent substrate oxygenation reactions. In this study, copper(II) complexes supported by a series of linear tetradentate ligands consisting of a rigid 6-, 7-, or 8-membered cyclic diamine with two pyridylmethyl (−CH2Py) side arms (L6Pym2,L7Pym2, andL8Pym2) are employed to examine the effects of the coordination environment on the reactivity of their acylperoxide adduct complexes. The UV–vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic data indicate that the ligand-field splitting between the dx2–y2and dz2orbitals of the starting copper(II) complexes increase with an increase of the ring size of the diamine moiety (L6Pym2→L7Pym2→L8Pym2). In the reaction of these copper(II) complexes withm-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA), theL6Pym2complex gives a stablem-CPBA adduct complex, whereas theL7Pym2andL8Pym2complexes are immediately converted to the correspondingm-chlorobenzoic acid (m-CBA) adducts, indicating that the reactivity of the copper(II) acylperoxide complexes largely depends on the coordination environment induced by the supporting ligands. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on them-CPBA adduct complexes show that the ligand-field-splitting energy increases with an increase of the ring size of the diamine moiety, as in the case of the starting copper(II) complexes, which enhances the reactivity of them-CPBA adduct complexes. The reasons for such different reactivities of them-CPBA adduct complexes are evaluated by using DFT calculations.
