A new structurally characterized ferrous corrole [Fe (ttppc)] (1) binds one equivalent of dioxygen to form [Fe (O )(ttppc)] (2). This complex exhibits a O -isotope sensitive ν(O-O) stretch at 1128 cm concomitantly with a single ν(Fe-O ) at 555 cm , indicating it is an η -superoxo ("end-on") iron(III) complex. Complex 2 is the first well characterized Fe-O corrole, and mediates the following biologically relevant oxidation reactions: dioxygenation of an indole derivative, and H-atom abstraction from an activated O-H bond.
