Transition metal complexes are rarely considered as paramagnetic tags for NMR spectroscopy due to them generally having relatively low magnetic anisotropy. Here we report cobalt(II) cage complexes with the largest (among the transition metal complexes) axial anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, reaching as high as 12.6 × 10-32 m3 at room temperature. This remarkable anisotropy, which results from an unusual trigonal prismatic geometry of the complexes and translates into large negative value of the zero-field splitting energy, is high enough to promote reliable paramagnetic pseudocontact shifts at the distance beyond 2 nm. Our finding paves the way towards the applications of cobalt(II) clathrochelates as future paramagnetic tags. Given the incredible stability and functionalization versatility of clathrochelates, the fine-tuning of the caging ligand may lead to new chemically stable mononuclear single-molecule magnets, for which magnetic anisotropy is of importance.

Paramagnetic tags are gaining popularity as probes for NMR spectroscopy to provide valuable information on structure and dynamics of proteins and their complexes1. Their possible application includes NMR structure determination of proteins2 and their complexes3 in solution, solid state NMR crystallography4 and characterization of otherwise inaccessible low-populated conformational states5. Lanthanide ion complexes6 account for most of the paramagnetic shift tags available to date owing to their unprecedentedly large magnetic anisotropy, reasonably high chemical stability and tunable (by the choice of a specific lanthanide ion) paramagnetic behavior. Magnetic properties of the central ion govern the changes in chemical shifts, relaxation rates and weak alignment of a biomolecule in a magnetic field; all of those resulting in restrains useful for structure calculations7. Their further advancement is, however, complicated by high coordination number of lanthanide ions, large size of chelating probes, formation of several diastereomers8 or conformational isomers9 with different magnetic properties and net positive charge of probe’s moiety10. Despite 3d transition metal complexes were the first shown to have residual dipolar couplings11, they are rarely considered as shift agents, as they usually have significantly lower magnetic anisotropy resulting in smaller paramagnetic pseudocontact shifts and lower alignment ability. Additionally, these complexes are often not stable enough, owing to the oxidation of a central metal ion or its undesirable coordination, and the delocalization of unpaired electrons over the ligand leads to unwanted contact contribution to paramagnetic shifts that makes the interpretation of the experimental results even more difficult. Thus, the use of transition metal ions with few notable exceptions12-13 is mostly limited to assessing natural metal-binding sites14 or, in a chelated form, to their use as relaxation agents15. The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of complexes is determined by the g-tensor anisotropy and (for high-spin metal ions) by the value of zero-field splitting (ZFS), which in the case of transition metal complexes strongly depends on the features of the ligands and thus is amendable by the molecular design. Indeed, the recent progress in the field of single molecular magnets 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Scheme 1 The trigonal prismatic coordination, rather unusual for cobalt(II) compounds, is characteristic of cage complexes, so-called clathrochelates19. In these complexes, the paramagnetic ion is encapsulated by a three-dimensional caging ligand that shields the metal ion from any unwanted coordination20, compensates for its charge and provides a rigid macrobicyclic framework for its subsequent functionalization21. Conjugates of clathrochelates with several proteins were recently reported22-23, and it was shown that they were stable towards oxidation or hydrolysis in biological conditions24-25. Despite these favorable properties and straightforward synthesis from available and inexpensive initial reagents, the cobalt(II) clathrochelates were never considered as precursors of paramagnetic tags due to most of them being either low spin21 or undergoing temperature-induced

spin

crossover26.

well as their isostructural iron(II)-containing diamagnetic analogues 3 and 4, Scheme 1, were obtained by direct template condensation of three dichloroglyoxime molecules with boronic acids on the metal ions (see SI for synthetic details). As expected, the crystalline cobalt(II) complexes undergo temperature-induced spin-transition27 (Fig. S1 in SI) but are entirely highspin in solution at temperatures above 190 K as demonstrated by the Evans method28 (the detailed description of their magnetic behavior in the solid state will be published elsewhere). Given the D3-symmetry of these complexes, the orientation of the main axis of the magnetic susceptibility tensor was chosen along the B…B axis. As the conformational dynamics of 1 is limited to the rotation around the B–C bond ensuring the axiality of the magnetic anisotropy tensor and the rotation of the CF3 group, the values of NMR paramagnetic shifts of 1H and

nuclei (Table S1) were used directly (after correction for contact contribution, see SI) to obtain the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of ∆χax = 12.6×10-32 m3 from its molecular geometry. Note that this value is appreciably higher compared to that of hexa- and tetra-coordinated cobalt(II) complexes29 (7×10-32 and 3×10-32 m3, respectively) and approach those of lanthanide-based shift reagents (See Table S2 for comparison).

The small number of nuclei in the capping fragment of 1 and the non-zero contact contribution reduce the precision of ∆χax determination. In contrast, the complex 2 demonstrates the paramagnetic shift of all the nuclei of its hexadecyl aliphatic fragment (Fig. 1) as compared to the diamagnetic compound 4. As the contact contribution to the paramagnetic shifts is negligible for the nuclei that are more than five single bonds away from the paramagnetic center1, and given the σ-character of the bonds in hexadecyl fragments, all these shifts can be considered as pseudocontact and should correlate with those calculated from molecular geometry for a given value of ∆χax (equation S1 in SI). The nuclei of the first methylene group of the hexadecyl fragment were excluded from the further analysis due to them being too close to the paramagnetic ion to neglect a possible contact contribution. The aliphatic chain of 2 and 4 is highly flexible, so the conformational mobility significantly influences the observed pseudocontact shifts (PCS)30. Indeed, the fit of paramagnetic shifts to the molecular structure of

2 resulted in a poor agreement between the experimental and calculated PCS (Fig. 2a). A standard method for calculating the library of all possible rotamers31-32 was not applicable owing to a very large number of rotable bonds and associated conformational explosion33. Therefore, a simplified model that assumes a highly limited number of conformations for each C–C bond was used (see SI for detailed description and justification of the model). Accounting for the conformational mobility of the complex 2 results in significant improvement between calculated and experimental PCS for ∆χax = 10.0×10-32 m3 (Fig. 2b) and suggests a very small influence of the apical group on the magnetic properties of the encapsulated ion.

The difference between the magnetic anisotropy of the complexes 1 and 2 can be also caused by the breakdown of the point-dipole approximation34 or underestimation of the contact shifts in the case of the compound 1. From the calculation, maps characterizing the probability density distribution of the aliphatic chain were built (Fig. S2). They show that the magnetic anisotropy of the cobalt(II) cage complexes is high enough to allow not only the study of a static structure but also investigation of a highly complicated dynamic behavior of aliphatic chains.

PSC are usually not the only source of structural constraints in paramagnetic biomolecular NMR1; however, relaxation properties of the reported compounds are hard to evaluate correctly, as the separation of the contributions of individual relaxation mechanisms is extremely difficult for compounds with significant unpaired electron delocalization (the complex 1) or flexibility (the complex 2). Owing to very short electronic relaxation times of high-spin cobalt(II) ion,35 we do not expect the reported compounds to be effective for relaxation-based experiments15 and propose the use of clathrochelates as shift agents owing to the reported remarkable magnetic anisotropy. To our knowledge, the compounds 1 and 2 demonstrate the largest reported ∆χax values for cobalt(II) complexes, with the possible source of this high magnetic anisotropy being a large negative ZFS value. In general, the Van-Vleck equation36 can be employed to determine the components of the g-tensor and ZFS37 by fitting the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. In our case, however, this approach is not applicable as the low-temperature magnetic behavior of the complexes 1 and 2 is masked by spin-crossover. Unfortunately, EPR spectroscopy is also not suitable in the case of these complexes, as the signals of a high-spin cobalt(II) ion are very difficult to detect in the presence of a predominantly populated low-spin state, owing to the sign and the value of zero-field splitting energy as well as short electronic spin-lattice relaxation time. To study the EPR and SQUID properties of the high-spin cobalt(II) ion in a cage ligand, we have therefore used the isostructural complex 5 that was previously shown to be high-spin at all temperatures26. High-spin complexes with a very large negative ZFS value are usually EPR silent38 for the following reasons: (i) the inter-Kramers transitions cannot be induced by typical microwave frequencies, (ii) the transition between the ms = ±3/2 levels of the lowest Kramers doublet is formally forbidden and (iii) the ms = ±½ doublet is thermally depopulated at low temperatures required for the detection of the fast-relaxing high-spin cobalt(II) ions (Fig. S3)35. The sample of 5 was indeed EPR silent in the X-band (9.5 GHz) within a broad temperature 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

range (5 – 290 K). In the Q-band (34 GHz), a very broad EPR signal assigned to the ms = ±½ transition (Fig. 2a) was detected. The magnetic field position of this signal (~700 mT at 34.1 GHz) corresponds to a system with total spin S = 3/2: it has a large negative ZFS with the perpendicular component of the g-tensor equal to about 1.9 and the parallel component being invisible owing to a very large linewidth. The temperature dependence of the EPR spectral intensity also agrees well with the large negative value of ZFS. The signals observed above 30K became more pronounced with increase in the temperature up to 100K, implying together with the decrease in the EPR intensity at higher temperatures a slow population of a higher-lying Kramers doublet followed by a gradual decrease in the population difference between its components (see Fig. S4 for theoretical temperature dependence of the spectrum’s intensity at different values of ZFS). To exclude the decrease in the intensity owing to the broadening, we simulated the experimental spectra and integrated the obtained best-fit results, including the regions outside of the experimental magnetic field range. Analysis of the obtained temperature dependence of the EPR intensity yields the estimate for the value of ZFS of D ≈ −40 cm-1. This value is in a good agreement with D ≈ −63 cm−1 obtained from the analysis of the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility for the solid sample 5 (Fig. S5), given the uncertainty of both methods and the relative simplicity of the model used for SQUID data interpretation (Eqs. S6–8). These D values were used as initial parameters for the analysis of the temperature-dependent paramagnetic shifts for the complexes 1 and 2 (Fig. S6) resulting in D ≈ −65 cm−1. Thus, the possibility to modify cobalt(II) clathrochelates with functionalizing groups (with linker abilities, if necessary) without sacrificing the magnetic anisotropy is demonstrated.

These compounds can be covalently bounded to a protein using either apical group with the tagging substituent for cysteine labeling39 or direct nucleophilic substitution of the ribbed chlorine atom by the cysteine thiol moiety in basic conditions21. Both these approaches allow for single- and two-point attachments, depending on the nature of the studied protein.

sample allows ascribing the origin of the high magnetic anisotropy in cage complexes to the large negative zero-field splitting energy. The large magnetic anisotropy property is also of extreme importance in the field of molecular magnetism37. Thus, the fine-tuning of the caging ligand may be the way to create new chemically stable mononuclear single-molecule magnets. Taking into account that both the successful paramagnetic shifting agents and single-molecular magnets share the same prerequisite (large magnetic anisotropy), the clathrochelates are expected to emerge as a link between these two fields.
