We have synthesized and characterized, using X-ray crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational techniques, a six-coordinate diazide Fe (3+) complex, LFe(N 3) 2 (where L is the tetradentate ligand 7-diisopropyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1-acetic acid), that serves as a model of the azide adducts of Fe (3+) superoxide dismutase (Fe (3+)SOD). While previous spectroscopic studies revealed that two distinct azide-bound Fe (3+)SOD species can be obtained at cryogenic temperatures depending on protein and azide concentrations, the number of azide ligands coordinated to the Fe (3+) ion in each species has been the subject of some controversy. In the case of LFe(N 3) 2, the electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra are dominated by two broad features centered at 21 500 cm (-1) (approximately 4000 M (-1) cm (-1)) and approximately 30 300 cm (-1) (approximately 7400 M (-1) cm (-1)) attributed to N3 (-) --&gt; Fe (3+) charge transfer (CT) transitions. A normal coordinate analysis of resonance Raman (RR) data obtained for LFe(N 3) 2 indicates that the vibrational features at 363 and 403 cm (-1) correspond to the Fe-N 3 stretching modes (nu Fe-N3) associated with the two different azide ligands and yields Fe-N 3 force constants of 1.170 and 1.275 mdyne/A, respectively. RR excitation profile data obtained with laser excitation between 16,000 and 22,000 cm (-1) reveal that the nu Fe-N3 modes at 363 and 403 cm (-1) are preferentially enhanced upon excitation in resonance with the N 3 (-) --&gt; Fe (3+) CT transitions at lower and higher energies, respectively. Consistent with this result, density functional theory electronic structure calculations predict a larger stabilization of the molecular orbitals of the more strongly bound azide due to increased sigma-symmetry orbital overlap with the Fe 3d orbitals, thus yielding higher N 3 (-) --&gt; Fe (3+) CT transition energies. Comparison of our data obtained for LFe(N 3) 2 with those reported previously for the two azide adducts of Fe (3+)SOD provides compelling evidence that a single azide is coordinated to the Fe (3+) center in each protein species.
