Peroxynitrite (–OON=O, PN) is a reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which can effect deleterious nitrative or oxidative (bio)chemistry. It may derive from reaction of superoxide anion (O2•–) with nitric oxide (·NO) and has been suggested to form an as-yet unobserved bound heme-iron-PN intermediate in the catalytic cycle of nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) enzymes, which facilitate a ·NO homeostatic process, i.e., its oxidation to the nitrate anion. Here, a discrete six-coordinate low-spin porphyrinate-FeIII complex [(PIm)FeIII(–OON=O)] (PIm; a porphyrin moiety with a covalently tethered imidazole axial “base” donor ligand) has been identified and characterized by various spectroscopies (UV–vis, NMR, EPR, XAS, resonance Raman) and DFT calculations, following its formation at –80 °C by addition of ·NO(g) to the heme-superoxo species, [(PIm)FeIII(O2•–)]. DFT calculations confirm that is a six-coordinate low-spin species with the PN ligand coordinated to iron via its terminal peroxidic anionic O atom with the overall geometry being in a cis-configuration. Complex thermally transforms to its isomeric low-spin nitrato form [(PIm)FeIII(NO3–)]. While previous (bio)chemical studies show that phenolic substrates undergo nitration in the presence of PN or PN-metal complexes, in the present system, addition of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4DTBP) to complex does not lead to nitrated phenol; the nitrate complex still forms. Furthermore, DFT calculations reveal that the phenolic H atom approaches the terminal PN O atom (farthest from the metal center and ring core), effecting O–O cleavage, giving nitrogen dioxide (·NO2) plus a ferryl compound [(PIm)FeIV=O] (7); this rebounds to give [(PIm)FeIII(NO3–)].The generation and characterization of the long sought after ferriheme peroxynitrite complex has been accomplished.
