Trinuclear Zn(II) and Cu(II) homo and heterotrimetallic complexes involving D-glucopyranosyl and biscarboxylate bridging ligands. A substrate binding model of xylose isomerases.
Reactions of MCl(2).nH(2)O with N,N'-bis(D-glucopyranosyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane ((D-Glc)(2)-tacn), which was formed from D-glucose and 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (tacn) in situ, afforded a series of mononuclear divalent metal complexes with two beta-D-glucopyranosyl moieties, [M((D-Glc)(2)-tacn)Cl]Cl (M = Zn (11), Cu (12), Ni (13), Co (14)). Complexes 11-14 were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic measurements and X-ray crystallography and were found to have a distorted octahedral M(II) center ligated by the pentacoordinate N-glycoside ligand, (beta-D-glucopyranosyl)(2)-tacn, and a chloride anion. Each D-glucose moiety is tethered to the metal center through the beta-N-glycosidic bond with tacn and additionally coordinated via the C-2 hydroxyl group, resulting in a lambda-gauche five-membered chelate ring. When L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose) was used instead of D-glucose, the nickel(II) complex with two beta-L-rhamnopyranosyl moieties, [Ni((D-Man)(2)-tacn)(MeOH)]Cl(2) (15), was obtained and characterized by an X-ray analysis. Reactions of 11 (M = Zn) with [Zn(XDK)(H(2)O)] (21) or [Cu(XDK)(py)(2)] (22) (H(2)XDK = m-xylylenediamine bis(Kemp's triacid imide)) yielded homo and heterotrimetallic complexes formulated as [Zn(2)M'((D-Glc)(2)-tacn)(2)(XDK)]Cl(2) (M' = Zn (31), Cu (32)). The similar reactions of 12 (M = Cu) with complex 21 or 22 afforded [Cu(2)M'((D-Glc)(2)-tacn)(2)(XDK)]Cl(2) (M' = Cu (33), Zn (34)). An X-ray crystallographic study revealed that complexes 31 and 34 have either Zn(II)(3) or Cu(II)Zn(II)Cu(II) trimetallic centers bridged by two carboxylate groups of XDK and two D-glucopyranosyl residues. The M...M' separations are 3.418(3)-3.462(3) A (31) and 3.414(1)-3.460(1) A (34), and the M...M'...M angles are 155.18(8) degrees (31) and 161.56(6) degrees (34). The terminal metal ions are octahedrally coordinated by the (D-Glc)(2)-tacn ligand through three nitrogen atoms of tacn, two oxygen atoms of the C-2 hydroxyl groups of the carbohydrates, and a carboxylate oxygen atom of XDK ligand. The central metal ions sit in a distorted octahedral environment ligated by four oxygen atoms of the carbohydrate residues in the (D-Glc)(2)-tacn ligands and two carboxylate oxygen atoms of XDK. The deprotonated beta-D-glucopyranosyl unit at the C-2 hydroxyl group bridges the terminal and central ions with the C-2 mu-alkoxo group, with the C-1 N-glycosidic amino and the C-3 hydroxyl groups coordinating to each metal center. Complexes 31-34 are the first examples of metal complexes in which D-glucose units act as bridging ligands. These structures could be very useful substrate binding models of xylose or glucose isomerases, which promote D-glucose D-fructose isomerization by using divalent dimetallic centers bridged by a glutamate residue.
