    Resumen:
    © 2021 American Chemical Society. The mechanism responsible for peptide bond hydrolysis by Co(III) and Cu(II) complexes with (oxa)cyclen ligands has been revisited by means of computational tools. We propose that the mechanism starts by substrate coordination and an outer-sphere attack on the amide C atom of a solvent water molecule assisted by the metal hydroxo moiety as a general base, which occurs through six-membered ring transition states. This new mechanism represents a more likely scenario than the previously proposed mechanisms that involved an inner-sphere nucleophilic attack through more strained four-membered rings transition states. The corresponding computed overall free-energy barrier of 25.2 kcal mol-1 for hydrolysis of the peptide bond in Phe - Ala by a cobalt(III) oxacyclen catalyst (1) is consistent with the experimental values obtained from rate constants. Also, we assessed the influence of the nature of the ligand throughout a systematic replacement of N by O atoms in the (oxa)cyclen ligand. Increasing the number of coordinating O atoms accelerates the reaction by increasing the Lewis acidity of the metal ion. On the other hand, the higher reactivity observed for the copper(II) oxacyclen catalyst with respect to the analogous Co(III) complex can be attributed to the larger Brönsted basicity of the copper(II) hydroxo ligand. Ultimately, the detailed understanding of the ligand and metal nature effects allowed us to identify the double role of the metal hydroxo complexes as Lewis acids and Brönsted bases and to rationalize the observed reactivity trends.
