Photo-disproportionation of a bis-corrole diiron(IV) μ-oxo dimer gave a corrole iron(III) species and a corrole iron(V)-oxo species that can be detected and studied in real time. Air oxidation of the corrole iron(III) species regenerated the bis-corrole diiron(IV) μ-oxo dimer, allowing the development of a photo-catalytic method for organic oxidations using molecular oxygen and visible light.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
