Give me an "O"! Mononuclear nonheme iron(IV) oxo complexes have been generated using water as oxygen source and cerium(IV) oxidant. The high-yield oxygenation of organic substrates in this system (see picture, Fe green, O red, N blue, C gray) is catalyzed by iron(II) complexes. the oxygenated products has assigned unambiguously isotopic labeling experiments.
A comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the reactivity patterns reaction mechanisms in alkane hydroxylation, olefin epoxidation, cyclohexene oxidation, sulfoxidation reactions by a mononuclear nonheme ruthenium(IV)–oxo complex, [RuIV(O)(terpy)(bpm)]2+ (1), has been conducted. In hydroxylation (i.e., oxygen rebound vs non-rebound mechanisms), both results show that substrate radical formed via rate-determining H atom abstraction alkanes 1 prefers dissociation over desaturation...
We show by experiments that nonheme Fe(IV)O species react with cyclohexene to yield selective hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions virtually no C═C epoxidation. Straightforward DFT calculations reveal, however, epoxidation on the S = 2 state possesses a low-energy barrier and should contribute substantially oxidation of species. By modeling selectivity this two-site reactivity, we an interplay tunneling spin inversion probability (SIP) reverses apparent barriers prefers exclusive 1 HAT...
Activation of dioxygen (O
Two-state reactivity involving close triplet ground and quintet excited states is responsible for the opposite trends of FeIV oxo complexes in O-transfer H-abstraction reactions dependence on electron richness axial ligand X (see picture), as shown by comparison with RuIV analogues, which both reactivities are solely governed electrophilicity complex because state inaccessible.

Abstract This paper investigates the structural diversity and non‐covalent interactions in eight newly synthesized [Zn(II)(cyclam)] 2+ compounds ( 1 – 8 ) featuring ortho ‐substituted benzoate ligands. Compounds 2 exhibit 1D polymeric structures, wherein aqua ligands bridge cationic anionic units, resulting [Zn (μ‐H O) (cyclam)(L) 4 ] compounds. Here, L = o ‐methyl , ‐methoxy cyclam 1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotradecane. Conversely, using hydroxy nitro substituents at position results formation of...
Abstract Mit Cer(IV) als Oxidationsmittel und Wasser Sauerstoffquelle wurden einkernige Nichthäm‐Eisen(IV)‐Oxo‐Komplexe erhalten. Die in hoher Ausbeute verlaufende Oxygenierung organischer Substrate diesem System (siehe Schema; Fe grün, O rot, N blau, C grau) wird durch Eisen(II)‐Komplexe katalysiert. Quelle des Sauerstoffs den Eisen(IV)‐Oxo‐Komplexen oxygenierten Produkten wurde Isotopenmarkierung eindeutig bestimmt. magnified image
