μ-Oxo bridged diiron(III) complexes and hydrogen peroxide: oxygenation and catalase-like activities

Non-heme iron polyazadentate complexes as catalysts for oxidations by H2O2: particular efficiency in aromatic hydroxylations and beneficial effects of a reducing agent

“…More recently, non-heme iron complexes that were developed as mimics of non-heme iron-containing monooxygenases, have also been found to act as good catalysts for the epoxidation or cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes by H 2 O 2 (for recent articles, see for instance [7][8][9][10][11][12]). Cytochromes P450 and some non-heme iron-containing monooxygenases also catalyze the selective and efficient hydroxylation of aromatic compounds [13].…”

The chemical mechanism of oxidative stress by copper(II) and iron(III) ions in several neurodegenerative disorders

“…On the basis of the spectral studies on the solution containing an iron(III) compound and hydrogen peroxide, we found that in the presence of hydrogen peroxide the Fe-(nta) complex facilely gives a (m-1 : 1 )-peroxodiiron (III)-(nta) species shown in Scheme 5 [20,62,65], which exhibits high reactivity similar to that of singlet oxygen ( 1 D g ) [66][67][68]. However, no formation of (m-1 : 1 )-peroxodiiron(III) species occurs in the solution of Fe-(pac) complex in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.…”

Fe-Catalyzed Oxidation Reactions of Olefins, Alkanes, and Alcohols: Involvement of Oxo- and Peroxo Complexes

“…The first example of a nonheme iron catalyst with the TPA ligand 2, which effected stereospecific alkane hydroxylation, was developed by Que and coworkers in 1997 [97]. In the same year, the linear N 4 tetradentate mep or BPMEN 1 ligand was reported by Nishida and coworkers [98]. [Fe(1)(OTf) 2 ] complexes are characterized by two essential pyridine donors connected with an ethylendiamine bridge, two labile cis-coordination sites at the metal center and single cis-a coordination geometry [99].…”
