Biomimetic interaction between Fe(II) and O2: effect of the second coordination sphere on O2 binding to Fe(II) complexes: evidence of coordination at the metal centre by a dissociative mechanism in the formation of mu-oxo diferric complexes.

We report that the formation of mu-oxo diferric compounds from O(2) and FeCl(2) complexes within the tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine series (N. K. Thallaj et al.
