Abstract

Addition of HOTf to a mixture of Co^III(BDPP)(O₂˙) (1, H₂BDPP = 2,6-bis((2-(S)-diphenylhydroxylmethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl)pyridine) and Cp*₂Fe produced H₂O₂ in high yield implying formation of Co^III(BDPP)(OOH) (3), and reaction of Sc(OTf)₃ with the same mixture gave a peroxo-bridged Co^III/Sc^III5. These findings demonstrate the ambiphilic property of Co^III-superoxo 1.
