- Cupric and cuprous complexes of bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2-methylthiophene) amine (L-1), bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)benzylamine (L-2), bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2,4-dimethylphenylthioethyl)-amine (L-3), bis(1-methyl-2-methylbenzimidazolyl)benzylamine (Me2L2), and bis(1-methyl-2-methylbenzimidazolyl)(2,4-dimethylphenylthioethyl)amine (Me2L3) have been spectroscopically, structurally, and electrochemically characterised. The thioether-containing ligands L-3 and Me2L3 give rise to complexes with Cu-S bonds in solution and in the solid state, as evidenced by UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The Cu2+ complexes [(LCuCl2)-Cu-1] (1), [(LCuCl2)-Cu-2] (2) and [(Me2LCuCl)-Cu-3]ClO4 (3(Me,ClO4)) are monomeric in solution according to ESI mass spectrometry data, as well as in the solid state. Their Cu+ analogues [(LCu)-Cu-1]ClO4, [(LCu)-Cu-2]ClO4, [(LCu)-Cu-3]ClO4 (4-6), [(BOC2LCu)-Cu-1(NCCH3)]ClO4 (4(BOC)), [(Me2LCu)-Cu-2(NCCH3)(2)]PF6 (5(Me)) and [(Me2LCu)-Cu-3](2)(ClO4)(2) (6(Me)) are also monomeric in acetonitrile solution, as confirmed crystallographically for 4(BOC) and 5(Me). In contrast, 6(Me) is dimeric in the solid state, with the thioether group of one of the ligands bound to a symmetry-related Cu+ ion. Cyclic voltammetry studies revealed that the bis(2-methylbenzimidazolyl) amine-Cu2+/Cu+ systems possess half-wave potentials in the range -0.16 to -0.08 V (referenced to the ferrocenium-ferrocene couple); these values are nearly 0.23 V less negative than those reported for related bis(picolyl) amine-derived ligands. Based on these observations, the N-3 or N3S donor set of the benzimidazole-derived ligands is analogous to previously reported chelating systems, but the electronic environment they provide is unique, and may have relevance to histidine and methionine-containing metalloenzymes. This is also reflected in the reactivity of [(Me2LCu)-Cu-2(NCCH3)(2)](+) (5(Me)) and [(Me2LCu)-Cu-3](+) (6(Me)) towards dioxygen, which results in the production of the superoxide anion in both cases. The thioether-bound Cu+ centre in 6(Me) appears to be more selective in the generation of O-2(center dot-) than 5(Me), lending evidence to the hypothesis of the modulating properties of thioether ligands in Cu-O-2 reactions.

- The new di- and tetranuclear Fe(III) μ-oxido complexes [Fe 4 (μ-O) 4 (PTEBIA) 4 ](CF 3 SO 3 ) 4 (CH 3 CN) 2 ] (1a), [Fe 2 (μ-O)Cl 2 (PTEBIA) 2 ](CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 (1b), and [Fe 2 (μ-O)(HCOO) 2 (PTEBIA) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 (MeOH) (2) were prepared from the sulfur-containing ligand (2-((2,4-dimethylphenyl)thio)-N,N-bis ((1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine (PTEBIA). The tetrairon complex 1a features four μ-oxido bridges, while in dinuclear 1b, the sulfur moiety of the ligand occupies one of the six coordination sites of each Fe(III) ion with a long Fe-S distance of 2.814(6) Å. In 2, two Fe(III) centers are bridged by one oxido and two formate units, the latter likely formed by methanol oxidation. Complexes 1a and 1b show broad sulfur-to-iron charge transfer bands around 400-430 nm at room temperature, consistent with mononuclear structures featuring Fe-S interactions. In contrast, acetonitrile solutions of 2 display a sulfur-to-iron charge transfer band only at low temperature (228 K) upon addition of H 2 O 2 /CH 3 COOH, with an absorption maximum at 410 nm. Homogeneous oxidative catalytic activity was observed for 1a and 1b using H 2 O 2 as oxidant, but with low product selectivity. High valent iron-oxo intermediates could not be detected by UV-vis spectroscopy or ESI mass spectrometry. Rather, evidence suggest preferential ligand oxidation, in line with the relatively low selectivity and catalytic activity observed in the reactions.
