Abstract

The (formal) replacement of Co in cobalamin (Cbl) by NiII generates nibalamin (Nibl), a new transition-metal analogue of vitamin B12. Described here is Nibl, synthesized by incorporation of a NiII ion into the metal-free B12 ligand hydrogenobalamin (Hbl), itself prepared from hydrogenobyric acid (Hby). The related NiII corrin nibyric acid (Niby) was similarly synthesized from Hby, the metal-free cobyric acid ligand. The solution structures of Hbl, and Niby and Nibl, were characterized by spectroscopic studies. Hbl features two inner protons bound at N2 and N4 of the corrin ligand, as discovered in Hby. X-ray analysis of Niby shows the structural adaptation of the corrin ligand to NiII ions and the coordination behavior of NiII. The diamagnetic Niby and Nibl, and corresponding isoelectronic CoI corrins, were deduced to be isostructural. Nibl is a structural mimic of four-coordinate base-off Cbls, as verified by its ability to act as a strong inhibitor of bacterial adenosyltransferase.
