ABSTRACT l-norepinephrine (NE) is a neuroendocrine catecholamine that supports bacterial growth by mobilizing iron from a primary source such as holotransferrin to increase its bioavailability for cellular uptake. Iron complexes of NE resemble those of bacterial siderophores that are scavenged by human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as part of the innate immune defense. Here, we show that NGAL binds iron-complexed NE, indicating physiological relevance for both bacterial and human iron metabolism. The fluorescence titration of purified recombinant NGAL with the FeIII·(NE)3 iron complex revealed high affinity for this ligand, with a K D of 50.6 nM. In contrast, the binding protein FeuA of Bacillus subtilis, which is involved in the bacterial uptake of triscatecholate iron complexes, has a K D for FeIII·(NE)3 of 1.6 μM, indicating that NGAL is an efficient competitor. Furthermore, NGAL was shown to inhibit the NE-mediated growth of both E. coli and B. subtilis strains that either are capable or incapable of producing their native siderophores enterobactin and bacillibactin, respectively. These experiments suggest that iron-complexed NE directly serves as an iron source for bacterial uptake systems, and that NGAL can function as an antagonist of this iron acquisition process. Interestingly, a functional FeuABC uptake system was shown to be necessary for NE-mediated growth stimulation as well as its NGAL-dependent inhibition. This study demonstrates for the first time that human NGAL not only neutralizes pathogen-derived virulence factors but also can effectively scavenge an iron-chelate complex abundant in the host.

Hydride and cyanide addition to a series of di- and polycyclopentadienyliron arene complex cations with etheric bridges is described. Reaction of the di-iron complexes with sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of a number of adducts.p-Methyl- and o,o-dimethylphenoxybenzene cyclopentadienyliron complexes were used as models in this study to allow for the characterization of the analagous di-iron complexes. The use of HH COSY and CH COSY NMR techniques enabled us to identify the isomeric nature of these adducts. The hydride addition results indicated that the etheric substituent had the predominant effect over the methyl group, leading to a higher addition ratio to the meta-, followed by the ortho-, then the para-positions. It was also clear that in the di-iron system, the hydride addition to each complexed arene ring took place independently. The addition of the cyanide anion to di- and poly-iron arene systems was more selective than that of the hydride anion. Reaction of sodium cyanide with p-methyl- or o-methyl-substituted arene complexes led to the formation of one adduct, with the cyanide being added to the meta position to the etheric bridges. However, cyanide addition to the di-iron complex, with a methyl substituent attached at the meta position of each complexed arene, led to the formation of a mixture of adducts. Cyanide addition to the poly-iron system with p-substituted arenes proved to be very selective, allowing for the formation of one adduct. Oxidative demetallation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) produced the uncomplexed polyaromatic ethers with cyano groups in a very good yield. Key words: cyclopentadienyliron, arene, nucleophilic addition, hydride, cyanide.

Reactions of β-chlorovinylcarbonyl compounds 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, with sodium dicarbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyl-ferrate (NaFp) furnish β-acylvinyl-dicarbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyliron complexes 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and binuclear iron complexes 26-29. Spectral data demonstrate the donor effect of the Fp group. Irradiation of these complexes in the presence of triphenylphosphane delivers β-acylvinyl-carbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyl-triphenylphosphane-iron complexes 34, 35. Reaction of glutarimides with oxalyl chloride gives rise to oxazolo-[3,2 a]pyridines 13. Benzylidenemalonyl chloride reacts with FpCS2Na to form benzylidenethietane-2,4-dione (32). A β-acylethinyl-carbonyl-η5-dicyclopentadienyl-iron complex 43 has been prepared.

We use molecular mechanics and DFT calculations to analyze the particular electronic behavior of a giant nanoball. This nanoball is a self-assembled M12L24 nanoball; with M equal to Pd+2; Cr; and Mo. These systems present an extraordinarily large cavity; similar to biological giant hollow structures. Consequently, it is possible to use these nanoballs to trap smaller species that may also become activated. Molecular orbitals, molecular hardness, and Molecular Electrostatic Potential enable us to define their potential chemical properties. Their hardness conveys that the Mo system is less reactive than the Cr system. Eigenvalues indicate that electron transfer from the system with Cr to other molecules is more favorable than from the system with Mo. Molecular Electrostatic Potential can be either positive or negative. This means that good electron donor molecules have a high possibility of reacting with positive regions of the nanoball. Each of these nanoballs can trap 12 molecules, such as CO. The nanoball that we are studying has large pores and presents electronic properties that make it an apposite target of study.

The highly reactive arene iron complex [(η4-toluene)(η6-toluene)iron] allows the formation of C4-units from alkynes below room temperature. By this route butadiene-, cyclobutadiene-, and ferracyclopentadiene(arene)iron complexes are accessible. Synthesis, structure and the properties of one example each are reported. Ferracyclopentadienes are potential intermediates for the catalytic cyclotrimerization of alkynes in the coordination sphere of arene iron complexes.

Treatment of the μ3-oxo-centered mixed-valent trinuclear iron complex [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-OAc)6- (H2O)3] (1) in methanol solution with one, two, or three equivalents of 1-methyl-imidazole (C4H6N2) afforded the substitution products [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-OAc)6(H2O)2(C4H6N2)] (2), [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-OAc)6- (H2O)(C4H6N2)2] (3), and [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-OAc)6(C4H6N2)3] (4), respectively. Complexes 2 - 4 were characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analyses, and the crystal structures of complexes 3 · 1.5MeOH· 2H2O and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that in 2 - 4 the trinuclear core unit [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ-OAc)6] of 1 is preserved.

Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/DGDZVP and UB3LYP/TZVP levels were performed on 1,3-bis[1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino)ethyl]imidazolium and on the corresponding imidazol-2-ylidene iron(II) dichloride complex, respectively. The resulting geometrical parameters of the optimized structures were in good agreement with previously reported X-ray structures. The ground state for the high-spin (quintet multiplicity) iron complex is 82.4 kJ/mol lower in energy compared to the low-spin (triplet) configuration, in agreement with magnetic susceptibility measurements. Further calculations were carried out on related benzimidazol-2-ylidene and pyrimidin-2-ylidene ligands and on the corresponding iron complexes to gain insight into their electronic properties and reactivities. The energy of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of all three carbenes suggests that the pyrimidin-2-ylidene and the benzimidazol-2-ylidene are the best σ-donor and best π-acceptor, respectively. Using those results, the metal center in the pyrimidin-2-ylidene iron dichloride complex was predicted to bear the highest electron density. This was supported by the high relative energy of its highest occupied molecular orbital compared to that of the corresponding imidazole-2-ylidene and benzimidazol-2-ylidene iron complexes. The electrostatic potential maps of all three metal complexes furthermore indicated a marked decrease in electron density for the coordinated imine group, supporting a greater reactivity towards nucleophiles.

The iron complexes of 5,10,15-tris(4-nitrophenyl)corrole have been prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The (nitrosyl)iron complex is diamagnetic and its X-ray structure reveals an almost perfectly linear Fe–N–O bond. EPR spectroscopy in conjunction with 15N labelling were used to deduce the redox centre of the one-electron reduction and oxidation products of the (nitrosyl)iron corrole.
