Non-heme iron complexes are emerging as powerful and versatile catalysts in several oxidative transformations. Them ost investigated iron complex structures are based on aminopyridine ligands,b ut an umber of imine-based ligands have been also tested. In this review ac ollection of recent results obtained in oxidation catalysisw ith non-heme iminebased iron complexes is presented. Theirc atalytic performances in C À H, C=Ca nd À S À oxidation are spread over aw ide range of efficiency,g oing from very low to quite high.S uch performances are discussed, whenever possible,i nl ight of the operating reactionm echanismsa nd of catalyst stability.I n order to facilitate the discussion,a ni nitial survey of the most useful mechanistic tools widelya pplied to distinguish am etal-based oxidation from ar adicalchain process is also reported. Imine-basedc atalysts are divided into twoc lasses:( i) salen-Fec omplexes, and (ii)i mine-Fe complexes.I ns ome cases clues for free-radical oxidation mechanisms have been reported whilei no ther casese vidence for metal-based mechanisms has been collected. Thep referredm echanisticp athway is shown to be af unction of catalyst structure and features
