Evidence for the formation of a mononuclear ferric–hydroperoxo complex via the reaction of dioxygen with an (N4S(thiolate))iron(ii) complex†
Abstract
Addition of O2(g) at low-temperature to a mononuclear, nonheme iron(II) complex comprising a tetraazamacrocyclic N4 donor and an arylthiolate S donor leads to the generation of a deep red complex assigned as a low-spin FeIII–OOH complex, formed via metal- and
