3 – Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Section
X-band EPR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Elexsys E580 spectrometer equipped
with standard Bruker resonator with optical access and a variable-temperature cryostat (Air
Products). Samples at 4.2 K were illuminated directly in the spectrometer cavity using a LX 300
UV xenon lamp (Atlas Specialty Lighting, Tampa, FL) with a 520 nm cut off filter. Temperature
was controlled using Lake Shore temperature controller model 321-Autotuning. The background
EPR signal was measured for each sample before illumination. The g-values were calibrated by
comparison to the Mn2+ standard in a SrO matrix (g = 2.0012 ± 0.0002)1 and coal sample No 4
from Argonne coal collection (g = 2.00285 ± 0.00005).2

4 – Theoretical Calculations
The theoretical structures were optimized with Gaussian 093 at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)4-9
level of theory using the Conductor-like Polarizable Continuum Model (CPCM)10,11 for the
acetonitrile environment. The g-values for all the structures were obtained with ORCA12 at the
B3LYP/EPR-II13 level of theory using the Conductor-Like Screening Model (COSMO)14 to
simulate the acetonitrile environment.
The spin-density population of the structure that corresponds to the carboxylic acid form
of dyad-2 depicted as a radical cation after the proton transfer from the phenol to the
benzimidazole is shown in Supplementary Fig. S4. In agreement with the experimental data, a
very strong intra-molecular hydrogen bond can be inferred from the small dihedral angle (less
than 2°) between the phenol and imidazole planes of the BiP moiety in the optimized structure.
The spin-density distribution reveals that the unpaired electron is delocalized to some extent
between both the porphyrin and the phenol rings. The ratio of the unpaired spin populations
(PF10:BiP) is approximately 35:65. This explains the observation that the gx-value of dyad-2 is
lower than those reported for other BiP systems.15,16

Explicit water and/or acetonitrile molecules are included where indicated in calculated structures.
Calculations of the anisotropic g-values for the series of radical cation structures
presented in Supplementary Fig. S5 and Supplementary Table S1 were performed following
methodology from the literature.16 Structures with solvent molecules involved in hydrogen bonds
with N–H sites were based on the fact that the distal N–H proton interacts strongly with solvent
molecules as revealed by 1H-NMR studies. Solvent molecules binding to the newly formed N–H

bond were chosen based on the expectation of that this new N–H site would behave similarly to
the distal N–H (See Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 in the manuscript and discussion therein).

It is important to clarify that in our model we take into account explicitly two solvent
molecules and the solvent reorganization is defined in the following way. For example, in the
case of A•+ reorganizing to form B•+, we start with a structure in which the two explicit water

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONDOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.18628
molecules are near the positions shown in A•+ and then run the geometry optimization program
to yield the actual structure shown as A•+. We then relocate the water molecule near the newly
formed N–H site and run the geometry optimization program again to yield structure B•+. The
change in solvent structure between the two geometry-optimized systems is the reorganization of
the explicit water (solvent). The remaining solvent effect is included using the conventional
dielectric model. Other reorganizations in the system include a change in the BiP dihedral angle
and concomitant changes in the distance between phenoxyl O and N–H site.
The calculated g-values for the radical cation of the carboxylic acid form of dyad-2
without taking into account hydrogen bond formation involving the new (proximal) N–H site and
an explicit solvent molecule yields results that are very close to the experimental g-values
observed at 13 K (Supplementary Table S1 and Supplementary Fig. S5, A•+, D•+ and I•+). This
agreement supports the interpretation that at 13 K the solvent molecules do not have enough
energy to reorganize to form a hydrogen bond with the newly formed (proximal) N–H site. Upon
warming of the solution to 100 K the energy available for solvent reorganization increases and
hydrogen bond formation involving the newly formed (proximal) N–H site is possible resulting
in an increase of the gx-value. The calculated g-values for radical cations including this new
hydrogen bond with solvent molecules are in excellent agreement with those observed at 100 K
(Supplementary Table S1 and Supplementary Fig. S5, B•+, E•+, F•+ and G•+). The calculated gx-
value for a structure before proton transfer (C•+) results in a value much lower than that observed
experimentally even at 13 K. For the case where the distal N–H proton is deprotonated by a base
yielding a neutral radical (H•) the calculated gx-value is much higher than that observed
experimentally even after annealing at 100 K.

a) ∆E relative to structure C•+ (kcal/mol) was calculated by the following equation:
∆E = E(Structure) – E(C•+) – (E(explicit solvent) × number explicit solvent molecules).
The structure with the highest energy is C•+, corresponding to BiP–PF10•+ before the
proton is transferred from the phenol to the benzimidazole. The energy of this structure (C•+)
was used as the reference to calculate ∆E. Upon proton transfer to the benzimidazole (D•+), the
energy decreases. Adding a hydrogen bond acceptor to the distal N–H of the BiP further lowers
the energy (I•+). Addition of a water molecule hydrogen bonded to the nearby the N–H.....O bond
of the BiP stabilizes the system further (A•+ and B•+), but the gx-value increases only when a
bifurcated hydrogen bond involving the newly formed N–H site is formed (B•+). Structure E•+
shows the effect of water hydrogen bonded to the newly formed N–H site without the distal
water, and structures F•+ and G•+ show the effect of acetonitrile hydrogen bonded to the newly
formed N–H site with and without the distal water. Notice that acetonitrile is not hydrogen
bonded to the distal N–H in any of the structures. Due to steric considerations when an

5 – Electrochemical Section
Cyclic voltammetry was performed with a CHI 650C potentiostat (CH Instrument) with
scan rates ranging from 0.1 V/s and 0.5V/s. For scan rates faster than 1 V/s, cyclic voltammetry
was performed with a potentiostat equipped with EG&G Parc Model 175 and Princeton applied
research Model 176 current follower. A custom glass cell with Teflon top accommodating a
three electrode setup and 1–2 mL of solution was used. The working electrode was either a
platinum (1.5 mm diameter) or a glassy carbon (1 mm diameter) disc electrode as indicated for
the particular experiment. The working electrode was cleaned between experiments by polishing
with alumina (50 mm diameter) slurry followed by solvent rinses. The counter electrode was a
platinum grid. The potential of the pseudoreference electrode was determined using the
ferrocenium-ferrocene redox couple as an internal standard (with Em taken as 0.45 V vs. SCE in
acetonitrile). The compound of interest was dissolved in acetonitrile (Aldrich, 99.99%) to yield a
solution with concentration between 4 × 10-4 and 8 × 10-4, to which was added
tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate at a concentration of 100 mM as a supporting
electrolyte for all experiments. Prior to any experiment, the solution was purged with argon for 2
minutes and then run under an argon atmosphere.

5.1 – Electrochemical Kinetic Study17-19 Variable scan rate cyclic voltammetry studies of dyad-2 on glassy carbon and gold
electrodes at scan rates varying from 0.1 to 200 V/s (Supplementary Fig. S8) in acetonitrile
reveal that the phenol oxidation is reversible with the apparent standard potentials independent of
the scan rate in the range investigated. These findings indicate an extremely fast phenolic proton
transfer reaction to the benzimidazole moiety upon electrochemical oxidation of dyad-2. The
reversibility of the phenoxyl/phenol couple in dyad-2 at high scan rates clearly reveals the ability
of the proton to easily shuttle between the phenolic oxygen and the nitrogen atom of the
benzimidazole in the corresponding Bi–PhOH reduced and BiH+–PhO• oxidized forms.
However, further variable scan rate cyclic voltammetry experiments with dyad-2 dissolved in
acetonitrile containing 2% (v/v) of either regular or deuterated methanol, followed by
comparison of the experimental data with those afforded by digital simulations using the
DigiSim software for estimation of the apparent rate constants in the two solvent systems (kappH
= 0.054 ± 0.009 and kappD = 0.056 ± 0.006 in regular and deuterated methanol, respectively),
disclose a negligible kinetic isotope effect (KIE) for the electrochemical oxidation of the phenol.

A total of 1092 frames were collected. The total exposure time was 36.40 hours. The
frames were integrated with the Bruker SAINT20 software package using a narrow-frame
algorithm. The integration of the data using a monoclinic unit cell yielded a total of 47693
reflections to a maximum θ angle of 25.10° (0.84 Å resolution), of which 10916 were
independent (average redundancy 4.369, completeness = 99.4%, Rint = 9.06%, Rsig = 8.57%) and
5465 (50.06%) were greater than 2σ(F2). The final cell constants of a = 19.934(4) Å, b =
10.691(2) Å, c = 29.550(7) Å, β = 101.580(3)°, volume = 6169.(2) Å3, are based upon the
refinement of the XYZ-centroids of 3448 reflections above 20 σ(I) with 4.434° < 2θ < 40.09°.
Data were corrected for absorption effects using the multi-scan method (SADABS).21 The ratio
of minimum to maximum apparent transmission was 0.762. The calculated minimum and

The structure was solved and refined using the Bruker SHELXTL22 Software Package,
using the space group P 1 2/c 1, with Z = 4 for the formula unit, C57H33F10N6O3. After fruitless
attempts at modeling the disordered solvent in the structure, the PLATON SQUEEZE23
algorithm was applied to the partially solved structure to produce a solvent-free data set upon
which the final refinements were performed. There were no significant changes in the structure
of the primary molecule between the original solution and the final solvent-free model. The final
anisotropic full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2 with 693 variables converged at R1 =
7.74%, for the observed data and wR2 = 22.76% for all data. The goodness-of-fit was 0.978. The
largest peak in the final difference electron density synthesis was 0.323 e-/Å3 and the largest hole
was -0.395 e-/Å3 with an RMS deviation of 0.063 e-/Å3. On the basis of the final model, the
calculated density was 1.120 g/cm3 and F(000), 2124 e-. The depictions of the crystallographic
structure were produced by the Bruker XShell24 display software, which is illustrated in
Supplementary Fig. S9. When run through IUCR's CheckCIF routine, the crystal structure .cif
files produced 2 Level B alerts. These were on account of minor rotational disorder about the
axis defined by C5 and C15, as indicated by the elongated thermal parameters perpendicular to
this axis.
