Probing shapes of bichromophoric metal-organic complexes using ion mobility mass spectrometry.

Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) was used to probe the structures of several metal complexes carrying pendant chromophores. The three complexes investigated were the copper(II) complex Cu(DAC)2+ (DAC = 1,8-bis(9-methylanthracyl)cyclam, cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), the N-nitrosylated ligand DAC-NO, and the Roussin's red salt ester (mu-S,mu-S')-protoporphyrin-IX-bis(2-thioethyl ester)tetranitrosyldiiron (PPIX-RSE). From the IM-MS data coupled with theoretical calculations, it was found that [Cu(II)(DAC - H)]+ exists as a single conformer, with one anthracenyl group above the cyclam and the other below, similar to the crystal structure of Cu(II)(DAC)2+. The metal-free N-nitrosylated ligand (DAC-NO + H)+ has two conformations: one family of structures has one anthracenyl group above the cyclam and one below, while the other has both anthracenyl groups on the same side of the cyclam. These observations are consistent with 1H NMR data for the neutral DAC-NO complex that indicate the presence of two geometric isomers in solution. The third species, PPIX-RSE, has a porphyrin chromophore covalently linked to an Fe2S2(NO)4 cluster for use as a precursor for the photochemical delivery of nitric oxide in single- and two-photon excitation processes. Ion mobility indicates the presence of two (PPIX-RSE + H)+ conformations, consistent with the previous interpretation of the bimodal fluorescence lifetime decay seen for PPIX-RSE. DFT structures, in good agreement with the IM-MS cross sections, indicate two "bent" conformations with the planes of the porphyrin and Fe2S2 rings at different angles with respect to each other.
