The Fe(II)- and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases catalyze hydroxylation reactions of considerable biomedical and environmental significance. Recently, the first oxidized iron intermediate in the reaction of a member of this family, taurine:alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD), was detected and shown to be a high-spin Fe(IV) complex. In this study we have used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to demonstrate the presence of a short (1.62 A) interaction between the iron and one of its ligands in the Fe(IV) intermediate but not in the Fe(II) starting complex. The detection of this interaction strongly corroborates the hypothesis that the intermediate contains an Fe=O structural motif.

Ferrate is a promising oxidizing agent for water treatment. Understanding the reaction characteristics and transformation mechanism of high-valent intermediate irons [Fe(V) and Fe(IV)] remains challenging. Here, we systematically investigated the roles of Fe(VI), Fe(V), and Fe(IV) species for acetaminophen oxidation using reaction kinetics, products, and stoichiometries.

The ferrate(VI) ion is a green, versatile oxidant employed eliminate organic contaminants. Research on the degradation of saturated chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP), by Fe(VI) is limited. In this study, we investigated the degradation of 1,2,3-TCP by Fe(VI).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the oxidation of clofibric acid (CA) using the Fe/persulfate (PS) process, focusing on how chlorine affects degradation and toxicity in saline pharmaceutical wastewater.
- Results showed a high removal efficiency (70.91%) for CA at pH 3.0, but only low mineralization (20.99%), indicating that while CA can be removed, it doesn’t break down completely.
- Moreover, the presence of chlorine led to the formation of toxic chlorinated by-products, raising ecological concerns around using the Fe/PS treatment in high-salinity environments.

Article Synopsis
- Coordination engineering of Fe-N single-atom catalysts (Fe-N SACs) is proposed to enhance the generation of high-valent Fe(IV)-oxo (Fe=O), providing a solution to the traditional trade-off in activity and selectivity of reactive oxygen species.
- The new Fe-N SACs/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system shows significant improvements in Fe=O production, allowing for the rapid removal of various pollutants within seconds.
- The study reveals that low-coordination Fe-N SACs promote efficient Fe=O generation, which selectively oxidizes sulfamethoxazole (SMX) into less toxic byproducts, while differently coordinated Fe=O can lead to the formation of more toxic azo compounds through

The isolation of thermally unstable and highly reactive organoiron(IV) complexes is a challenge for synthetic chemists. In particular, the number of examples where the C-based ligand is not part of the chelating ligand remains scarce. These compounds are of interest because they could pave the way to designing catalytic cycles of bond forming reactions proceeding via organoiron(IV) intermediates.
