A W/Cu Synthetic Model for the Mo/Cu Cofactor of Aerobic CODH Indicates That Biochemical CO Oxidation Requires a Frustrated Lewis Acid/Base Pair

Constructing synthetic models of the Mo/Cu active site of aerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) has been a long-standing synthetic challenge thought to be crucial for understanding how atmospheric concentrations of CO and CO2 are regulated in the global carbon cycle by chemolithoautotrophic bacteria and archaea. Here we report a W/Cu complex that is among the closest synthetic mimics constructed to date, enabled by a silyl protection/deprotection strategy that provided access to a kinetically stabilized complex with mixed O2-/S2- ligation between (bdt)(O)WVI and CuI(NHC) (bdt = benzene dithiolate, NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) sites. Differences between the inorganic core's structural and electronic features outside the protein environment relative to the native CODH cofactor point to a biochemical CO oxidation mechanism that requires a strained active site geometry, with Lewis acid/base frustration enforced by the protein secondary structure. This new mechanistic insight has the potential to inform synthetic design strategies for multimetallic energy storage catalysts.
