A new Cr(V) complex, K[CrVO(qaH3)2].H2O (Ia; qaH3 = quinato = (1R,3R,4R,5R)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydroxycyclohexanecarboxylato(2-)), synthesized by the reaction of K2Cr2O7 with excess qaH5 in MeOH (Codd, R.; Lay, P. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 7864-7876), has been characterized by microanalyses, electrospray mass spectra, and UV-visible, CD, IR, EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. This complex is of interest because of its ability to act as both a structural and a biomimetic model for a range of Cr(V) species believed to be generated in vivo during the intracellular reduction of carcinogenic Cr(VI). The Na+ analogue of Ia (Ib) has also been isolated and characterized by microanalyses and IR and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The reaction of Cr(VI) with MeOH in the presence of qaH5 that leads to I proceeds via a Cr(IV) intermediate (observed by UV-visible spectroscopy), and a mechanism for the formation of I has been proposed. DMF or DMSO solutions of I are stable for several days at 25 degrees C, while I in aqueous solution (pH = 4) disproportionates to Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in minutes. The likely structures in the solid state for Ia (14 K) and Ib (approximately 293 K) have been determined using both single-scattering (Ia,b) and multiple-scattering (Ia) analyses of XAFS data. These analyses have shown the following: (i) In agreement with the results from the other spectroscopic techniques, the quinato ligands are bound to Cr(V) by 2-hydroxycarboxylato moieties, with Cr-O bond lengths of 1.55, 1.82, and 1.94 A for the oxo, alcoholato, and carboxylato O atoms, respectively. (ii) The position of an oxo O atom is somewhat disordered. This is consistent with molecular mechanics modeling of the likely structures. The XAFS, EPR, and IR spectroscopic evidence points to the existence of hydrogen bonds between the oxo ligand and the 3,4,5-OH groups of the quinato ligands in the solid state of I.
