REVIEW This journal isDuring the past decade isoindoline-based ligands became subject of growing interest due to their modular set-up. In this review the structure and reactivity of these ligands and their transition metal complexes are covered. Beyond the discussion of the structural properties particular attention is paid to the expanding fields of applications of these compounds.

The chiral pentadentate low-spin (S = 1) oxoiron(IV) complex [Fe(O)(asN4Py)] (2) was synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Its formation kinetics, reactivity, and (enantio)selectivity in an oxygen-atom-transfer reaction was investigated in detail and compared to a similar pentadentate ligand-containing system.
