Reduction reactions of Cu(dmp)22+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) by ferrocene (Fe(Cp)2 = bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)), decamethylferrocene (Fe(PMCp)2 = bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iron(II)), andCo(bpy)32+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and oxidation reactions of Cu(dmp)2+ by Ni(tacn)23+ (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) and Mn(bpyO2)33+ (bpyO2 = N,N'-dioxo-2,2'-bipyridine) were studied in acetonitrile for thepurpose of interpreting the gated behavior involving copper(II) and -(I) species. It was shown that the electronself-exchange rate constants estimated for the Cu(dmp)22+/+ couple from the oxidation reaction of Cu(dmp)2+ byNi(tacn)23+ (5.9 × 102 kg mol-1 s-1) and Mn(bpyO2)33+ (2.9 × 104 kg mol-1 s-1) were consistent with thedirectly measured value by NMR (5 × 103 kg mol-1 s-1). In contrast, we obtained the electron self-exchange rateconstant of Cu(dmp)22+/+ as 1.6 kg mol-1 s-1 from the reduction of Cu(dmp)22+ by Co(bpy)32+. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for the reduction reaction of Cu(dmp)22+ by Fe(Cp)2 was not linear against the concentrationof excess amounts of Fe(Cp)2. A detailed analysis of the reaction revealed that the reduction of Cu(dmp)22+involved the slow path related to the deformation of Cu(dmp)22+ (path B in Scheme 1). By using Fe(PMCp)2 (theE value is 500 mV more negative than that of Fe(Cp)2+/0) as the reductant, the mixing with another pathwayinvolving deformation of Cu(dmp)2+ (path A in Scheme 1) became more evident. The origin of the "GatedBehavior" is discussed by means of the energy differences between the "normal" and deformed Cu(II) and Cu(I)species: the difference in the crystal field activation energies corresponding to the formation of pseudo-tetrahedralCu(II) from tetragonally distorted Cu(II) and the difference in the stabilization energies of the tetrahedral andtetragonal Cu(I) for the activation of Cu(I) species. The reduction reaction of Cu(dmp)22+ by Fe(PMCp)2 confirmedthat the mixing of the two pathways takes place by lowering the energy level corresponding to the less favorableconformational change of Cu(I) species.
