The five-coordinate high-spin (S= 1) Ni2+complex [Ni(tmc)CH3]+(1) (tmc = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) serves as a model for a viable reaction intermediate of the A cluster of acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) in which the distal nickel center is methylated. Spectroscopic and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies afford a quantitative bonding description for1that reveals a highly covalent Ni−CH3bond. From a normal coordinate analysis of resonance Raman data obtained for1, a value ofkNi-C= 1.44 mdyn/Å is obtained for the Ni−C stretch force constant of this species. This value is smaller thankCo-C= 1.85 mdyn/Å, which is reported for the Co−C stretch in the methylcobinamide cofactor (5) that serves as the methyl donor to the A cluster in the ACS catalytic cycle. Experimentally calibrated DFT computations on viable methylated A cluster models reveal that the methyl group binds to the proximal (Nip) rather than the distal (Nid) nickel center and afford a simple electronic argument for this preference. By correlating the experimental force constants with the computed bond orders of the M−C bonds in1and5, the Nip2+−CH3bond strength for an A cluster model with a square-planar Nipconformation, which is the most probable structure of the methylated A cluster on the basis of steric and energetic considerations, is predicted to be similar to the Co3+−CH3bond strength in CH3−CoFeSP. This similarity could be a crucial thermodynamic prerequisite for the reversibility of the enzymatic transmethylation reaction.
