Abstract Protonation of FeMo-cofactor (FeMo-co) is important for the process of substrate hydrogenation. Its structure has been clarified as Δ-Mo*Fe7S9C(R-homocit*)(cys)(Hhis) after the efforts of nearly 30 years, but it remains controversial whether FeMo-co is protonated or deprotonated with chelated ≡C − O(H) homocitrate. We have used protonated molybdenum(V) lactate 1 and its enantiomer as model compounds for R-homocitrate in FeMo-co of nitrogenase. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum of 1 at 1051 cm−1 is attributed to ≡C − OH vibration, and molybdenum(VI) R-lactate at 1086 cm−1 is assigned as ≡C − Oα-alkoxy vibration. These vibrations set up labels for the protonation state of coordinated α-hydroxycarboxylates. The characteristic VCD band of NMF-extracted FeMo-co is assigned to ν(C − OH), which is based on the comparison of molybdenum(VI) R-homocitrate. Density functional theory calculations are consistent with these assignments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that protonated R-homocitrate in FeMo-co is confirmed by VCD spectra.

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) has been observed for the first time with the use of a polarizing Michelson interferometer (PMI). VCD spectra have been recorded for (–)- α-pinene between 900 and 1350 cm−1 at 4 cm−1 resolution with excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The FT-VCD spectra are virtually the same as those recorded for (–)- α-pinene under the same conditions with the use of the more conventional double modulation FT-IR approach.
