Abstract

The Fe(III)-Tiron system (Tiron = 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonate) was investigated using a combination of 1H and 17O NMR relaxometric studies at variable field and temperature and theoretical calculations at the DFT and NEVPT2 levels. These studies require a detailed knowledge of the speciation in aqueous solution at different pH values. This was achieved using potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations, which afforded the thermodynamic equilibrium constants characterizing the Fe(III)-Tiron system. A careful control of the pH of the solution and the metal-to-ligand stoichiometric ratio allowed the relaxometric characterization of [Fe(Tiron)3]9-, [Fe(Tiron)2(H2O)2]5-, and [Fe(Tiron)(H2O)4] complexes. The 1H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles of [Fe(Tiron)3]9- and [Fe(Tiron)2(H2O)2]5- complexes evidence a significant second-sphere contribution to relaxivity. A complementary 17O NMR study provided access to the exchange rates of the coordinated water molecules in [Fe(Tiron)2(H2O)2]5- and [Fe(Tiron)(H2O)4] complexes. Analyses of the NMRD profiles and NEVPT2 calculations indicate that electronic relaxation is significantly affected by the geometry of the Fe3+ coordination environment. Dissociation kinetic studies indicated that the [Fe(Tiron)3]9- complex is relatively inert due to the slow release of one of the Tiron ligands, while the [Fe(Tiron)2(H2O)2]5- complex is considerably more labile.
