The new nonheme iron complexes Fe(BNPAO)(N) (), Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(N) (), Fe(BNPAO)(OH) (), Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(NCS) (), Fe(BNPAO)(NCS) (), Fe(BNPAO)(NCS) (), and Fe(BNPAO)(N) () (BNPAO = 2-(bis((6-(neopentylamino)pyridin-2-yl) methyl)amino)-1,1-diphenylethanolate) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as by H NMR, Fe Mössbauer, and ATR-IR spectroscopies. Complex was reacted with a series of carbon radicals, ArC· (Ar = -X-CH), analogous to the proposed radical rebound step for nonheme iron hydroxylases and halogenases. The results show that for ArC· (X = Cl, H, Bu), only OH· transfer occurs to give ArCOH. However, when X = OMe, a mixture of alcohol (ArCOH) (30%) and azide (ArCN) (40%) products was obtained. These data indicate that the rebound selectivity is influenced by the electron-rich nature of the carbon radicals for the azide complex. Reaction of with PhC· in the presence of Sc or H reverses the selectivity, giving only the azide product. In contrast to the mixed selectivity seen for , the reactivity of -Fe(OH)(NCS) with the X = OMe radical derivative leads only to hydroxylation. Catalytic azidation was achieved with as catalyst, λ-azidoiodane as oxidant and azide source, and PhCH as test substrate, giving PhCN in 84% (TON = 8). These studies show that hydroxylation is favored over azidation for nonheme iron(III) complexes, but the nature of the carbon radical can alter this selectivity. If an OH· transfer pathway can be avoided, the Fe(N) complexes are capable of mediating both stoichiometric and catalytic azidation.

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) ().

We prepare iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with polydentate ligands that contain quinols, which can act as electron proton transfer mediators. Although the iron(II) complex with -(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,','-tris(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp1) is inactive as an electrocatalyst, iron complexes with ,'-bis(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp2) and -(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-,'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (Hqp3) were found to be much more active and more selective for water production than a previously reported cobalt-Hqp1 electrocatalyst while operating at low overpotentials. The catalysts with Hqp3 can enter the catalytic cycle as either Fe(II) or Fe(III) species; entering the cycle through Fe(III) lowers the effective overpotential.

A new alkylthiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex, Fe(BNPAS)Br (), is reported. Reaction of with O at -40 °C, or reaction of the ferric form with O at -80 °C, gives a rare iron(III)-superoxide intermediate, [Fe(O)(BNPAS)] (), characterized by UV-vis, Fe Mössbauer, ATR-FTIR, EPR, and CSIMS. Metastable then converts to an S-oxygenated Fe(sulfinate) product via a sequential O atom transfer mechanism involving an iron-sulfenate intermediate.

A series of nonheme iron complexes, Fe(BNPAO)(L)(L) (L = N, NCS, NCO, and Cl) have been synthesized using the previously reported BNPAO ligand. The ferrous analogs Fe(BNPAO)(L) (L = N, NCS, and NCO) were also prepared. The complexes were structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows that all the Fe complexes are six-coordinate, with one anionic ligand (L) in the H-bonding axial site and the other anionic ligand (L) in the equatorial plane, cis to the L ligand.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the reactions involving reactive intermediates in the -dihydroxylation of arenes and olefins using Rieske dioxygenases and synthetic nonheme iron catalysts.
- It presents findings on how a specific iron(III)-peroxo complex interacts with olefins and naphthalene derivatives, resulting in the formation of structurally characterized iron(III) cycloadducts.
- Notably, this study is the first to demonstrate the -dihydroxylation of these substrates using a nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complex, producing valuable -diol products.
