Room temperature photolysis of the bis(azide)cobaltate(II) complex [Na(THF)<sub>x</sub>][(<sup>ket</sup>guan)Co(N3)2] (<sup>ket</sup>guan = [(tBu2CN)C(NDipp)2]–, Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) (3a) in THF cleanly forms the binuclear cobalt nitride [Na(THF)4{[(<sup>ket</sup>guan)Co(N3)]2(μ-N)}]<sub>n</sub> (1). Compound 1 represents the first example of an isolable, bimetallic cobalt nitride complex, and it has been fully characterized by spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational analyses. Density functional theory supports a CoIII=N=CoIII canonical form with significant π-bonding between the cobalt centers and the nitride atom. Unlike other Group 9 bridging nitride complexes, no radical character is detected at the bridging N-atom of 1. Indeed, 1 is unreactive towards weak C-H donors and even co-crystallizes with a molecule of cyclohexadiene (CHD) in its crystallographic unit cell to give 1·CHD as a room temperature stable product. Notably, addition of pyridine to 1 or photolyzed solutions of [(<sup>ket</sup>guan)Co(N3)(py)]<sub>2</sub> (4a) leads to destabilization via activation of the nitride unit, resulting in the mixed-valent Co(II)/(III) bridged imido species [(<sup>ket</sup>guan)Co]2(μ-NH)(μ-N3) (5) formed from intermolecular hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) of strong C-H bonds (BDE ~ 100 kcal/mol). Kinetic rate analysis of the formation of 5 in the presence of C6H12 or C6D12 gives a KIE = 2.5±0.1, supportive of a HAA formation path-way. The reactivity of our system was further probed by photolyzing C6D6/py-d5 solutions of 4a under an H2 atmosphere (150 psi), which leads to the exclusive formation of the bis(imido)[(<sup>ket</sup>guan)Co(μ-NH)]2 (6) as a result of dihydrogen activa-tion. These results provide unique insights into the chemistry and electronic structure of late 3d-metal nitrides while providing entryway into C-H activation pathways.

<p>Despite the growing interest in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds, few methods are able to incorporate fluoride ion directly into alkyl C-H bonds. Here, we report the C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H fluorination reactivity of a formally copper(III) fluoride complex. The C-H fluorination intermediate, <b>L</b>CuF, along with its chloride and bromide analogs, <b>L</b>CuCl and <b>L</b>CuBr, were prepared directly from halide sources with a chemical oxidant and fully characterized. While all three copper(III) halide complexes capture carbon radicals efficiently to afford C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-halogen bonds, <b>L</b>CuF is two orders of magnitude more efficient at hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) than <b>L</b>CuCl and <b>L</b>CuBr. Alongside reported kinetic data for other <b>L</b>Cu(III) species, we established a positive correlation between ligand basicity and the rate of HAA. The capability of <b>L</b>CuF to perform both hydrogen atom abstraction and radical capture was leveraged to enable fluorination of allylic and benzylic C-H bonds and α-C-H bonds of ethers at room temperature.</p>

2-Oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases catalyze C-H activation while performing a wide range of chemical transformations. In contrast to their heme analogues, non-heme iron centers afford greater structural flexibility with important implications for their diverse catalytic mechanisms. We characterize an <i>in situ</i> structural model of the putative transient ferric intermediate of 2OG:taurine dioxygenase (TauD) by using a combination of spectroelectrochemical and semi-empirical computational methods, demonstrating that the Fe (III/II) transition involves a substantial, fully reversible, redox-linked conformational change at the active site. This rearrangement alters the apparent redox potential of the active site between -127 mV for reduction of the ferric state and 171 mV for oxidation of the ferrous state of the 2OG-Fe-TauD complex. Structural perturbations exhibit limited sensitivity to mediator concentrations and potential pulse duration. Similar changes were observed in the Fe-TauD and taurine-2OG-Fe-TauD complexes, thus attributing the reorganization to the protein moiety rather than the cosubstrates. Redox difference infrared spectra indicate a reorganization of the protein backbone in addition to the involvement of carboxylate and histidine ligands. Quantitative modeling of the transient redox response using two alternative reaction schemes across a variety of experimental conditions strongly supports the proposal for intrinsic protein reorganization as the origin of the experimental observations.
