Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how a nonheme [Fe(L25)(MeCN)] complex activates dioxygen (O) through cyclic voltammetry, showing that coordination results in a strong Fe-O bond rather than a superoxide form.
- - An electron injection into the Fe-O adduct occurs at -700 mV, leading to the creation of Fe-peroxo and subsequently Fe-hydroperoxo upon protonation by water, with CV simulations supporting this detailed mechanism.
- - Despite the formation of the Fe-peroxo intermediate at -650 mV, low faradaic yields in oxidative bromination reactions indicate that side reactions hinder efficiency, prompting suggestions for improved catalytic methods.
