While the synthesis and characterization of {FeNO} complexes have been well documented in heme and nonheme iron models, {FeNO} complexes have been less clearly understood. Herein, we report the synthesis and structural and spectroscopic characterization of mononuclear nonheme {FeNO} and iron(iii)-nitrito complexes bearing a tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (TAML), such as [(TAML)Fe(NO)] and [(TAML)Fe(NO)], respectively. First, direct addition of NO to [Fe(TAML)] results in the formation of [(TAML)Fe(NO)], which is sensitive to moisture and air. The spectroscopic data of [(TAML)Fe(NO)], such as H nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, combined with computational study suggest the neutral nature of nitric oxide with a diamagnetic Fe center ( = 0). We also provide alternative pathways for the generation of [(TAML)Fe(NO)], such as the iron-nitrite reduction triggered by protonation in the presence of ferrocene, which acts as an electron donor, and the photochemical iron-nitrite reduction. To the best of our knowledge, the present study reports the first photochemical nitrite reduction in nonheme iron models.

The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe(BNPAO)(F) () and [Fe(BNPAOH)(F)(THF)](BF) (), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either or led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe(BNPAO)(F)(μ-F)] (), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe(BNPAO)(I) (), was prepared and reacted with O to give the mononuclear complex -Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(I) ().

The first-coordination sphere of catalysts is known to play a crucial role in reaction mechanisms, but details of how equatorial ligands influence the reactivity remain unknown. Heteroatom ligated to the equatorial position of iron centers in nonheme iron metalloenzymes modulates structure and reactivity. To investigate the impact of equatorial heteroatom substitution on chlorite oxidation, we synthesized and characterized three novel mononuclear nonheme iron(II) complexes with a pentadentate bispidine scaffold.

Dioxygen (O) activation by iron-containing enzymes and biomimetic compounds generates iron-oxygen intermediates, such as iron-superoxo, -peroxo, -hydroperoxo, and -oxo, that mediate oxidative reactions in biological and abiological systems. Among the iron-oxygen intermediates, iron(III)-peroxo species are less frequently implicated as active intermediates in oxidation reactions. In this study, we present the combined experimental and theoretical investigations on -dihydroxylation reactions mediated by synthetic mononuclear nonheme iron-peroxo intermediates, demonstrating the importance of supporting ligands and metal centers in activating the peroxo ligand toward the O-O bond homolysis for the -dihydroxylation reactions.

Two mononuclear iron(II) complexes, [(6-amide-BPMEN)Fe](OTf) () and [(6-amide-Me-BPMEN)Fe(OTf)](OTf) (), supported by two BPMEN-derived (BPMEN = ,-dimethyl-,-bis(pyridine-2-yl-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) ligands bearing one or two amide functionalities have been isolated to study their reactivity in the oxygenation of C-H and C═C bonds using isopropyl 2-iodoxybenzoate (Pr-IBX ester) as the oxidant. Both and contain six-coordinate high-spin iron(II) centers in the solid state and in solution. The 6-amide-BPMEN ligand stabilizes an = 1 iron(IV)-oxo intermediate, [(6-amide-BPMEN)Fe(O)] ().
