The ability of bacteria to use methane as their sole source of carbon and energy has fascinated chemists interested in CH activation. 1, 2 The key catalytic component in soluble methane monooxygenase (MMO) systems is a 251 kDa hydroxylase enzyme containing two noninteracting carboxylate-bridged dinuclear non-heme iron centers. 3-5 Recently, freeze-quench kinetic studies of the reaction with dioxygen of the reduced hydroxylase (Hred) component of MMO from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) afforded optical, Raman, and Mössbauer spectra which were tentatively assigned to an antiferromagnetically coupled (μ-peroxo) diiron (III) intermediate designated Hperoxo. 6, 7 The optical absorption spectral band at 600-650 nm and the νO-O stretching frequency of 905 cm-1 supported this assignment, but the isomer shift in the Mössbauer spectrum (δ, 0.66 mm s-1) was outside the range of those previously reported for diiron (III) peroxo complexes. Although unstable peroxo-bridged diiron (III) complexes had been spectroscopically identified, no X-ray structural determination had been published at the inception of this work, 8, 9 and none had the specific Mössbauer parameters of Hperoxo. We therefore sought to characterize crystallographically a small molecule analog of the putative peroxo intermediate and to obtain its Mössbauer spectrum for comparison to that of Hperoxo. One likely candidate was the blue-green species formed in the reaction of [Fe {HB (pz′) 3}(O2CR)], pz′) 3, 5-bis (isopropyl)-pyrazolyl and R) Ph, with dioxygen at low temperature. 10 After extensive trials with different R groups (R) Ph (1a), CH2Ph (2a), p-tol (3a), 4-biphenyl (4a), and 2-naphthyl (5a)) and crystallization conditions, and with the power of a CCD-detector-based X-ray diffractometer, we finally succeeded in characterizing one such complex,[Fe2 (μ-1, 2-O2)(μ-O2CCH2Ph) 2-{HB (pz′) 3} 2], 2b, by crystallographic chemical analysis (CCA).
