Abstract
A nonheme iron complex bearing the tris(6-phenylamino-pyridyl)methylamine (TPANHPh) ligand with appended hydrogen bond (H-bond) groups displays facile O2 reactivity to form a monomeric Fe(III)OH complex, which can release •OH via rebound to a carbon radical. An analogous compound without H-bonds, based on tris(6-methylpyridyl)methylamine (TPAMe), exhibits minimal O2 reactivity, forming a Fe(III)2(μ-O)(μ-OH) dimer, which also reacts with carbon-based radicals. The H-bonding system enables O2 binding and activation at weakly reducing nonheme iron complexes, highlighting a cooperative role of secondary sphere units to facilitate reactions at atypical redox environments.
期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the American Chemical Society, known as the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), has been a prestigious publication since its establishment in 1879. It holds a preeminent position in the field of chemistry and related interdisciplinary sciences. JACS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and encompasses approximately 19,000 pages of Articles, Communications, and Perspectives annually. With a weekly publication frequency, JACS plays a vital role in advancing the field of chemistry by providing essential research.
