To determine how a substitutionally inert metal can play a catalytic role in the metalloenzyme nitrile hydratase (NHase), a reactive five-coordinate CoIIIthiolate complex ([CoIII(S2Me2N3(Pr,Pr))](PF6) (1)) that resembles the active site of cobalt containing nitrile hydratase (Co NHase) was prepared. This was screened for reactivity, by using low-temperature electronic absorption spectroscopy, toward a number of biologically relevant “substrates”. It was determined1will react with azide, thiocyanate, and ammonia, but is unreactive toward nitriles, NO, and butyrate. Substrate-bound1has similar spectroscopic and structural properties as [CoIII(ADIT2)](PF6) (2). Complex2is a six-coordinate CoIIIcomplex containingcis-thiolates and imine nitrogens, and has properties similar to the cobalt center of Co NHase. Substrate binding to1is reversible and temperature-dependent, allowing for the determination of the thermodynamic parameters of azide and thiocyanate binding and the rates of ligand dissociation. Azide and thiocyanate bind trans to a thiolate, and with similar entropies and enthalpies (thiocyanate: ΔH= −7.5 ± 1.1 kcal/mol, ΔS= −17.2 ± 3.2 eu; azide: ΔH= −6.5 ± 1.0 kcal/mol, ΔS= −12.6 ± 2.4 eu). The rates of azide and thiocyanate displacement from the metal center are also comparable to one another (kd= (7.22 ± 0.04) × 10-1s-1for thiocyanate andkd= (2.14 ± 0.50) × 10-2s-1for azide), and are considerably faster than one would expect for a low-spin d6six-coordinate CoIIIcomplex. These rates are comparable to those of an analogous Fe(III) complex, demonstrating that Co(III) and Fe(III) react at comparable rates when in this ligand environment. This study therefore indicates that ligand displacement from a low-spin CoIIIcenter in a ligand environment that resembles NHase is not prohibitivly slow so as to disallow catalytic action in nonredox active cobalt metalloenzymes.
