Abstract:Two oxoiron(IV) isomers ( R 2a and R 2b) of general formula [Fe IV (O)( R PyNMe 3 )(CH 3 CN)] 2 + are obtained by reaction of their iron(II) precursor with NBu 4 IO 4 . The two isomers differ in the position of the oxo ligand, cis and trans to the pyridine donor. The mechanism of isomerization between R 2a and R 2b has been determined by kinetic and computational analyses uncovering an unprecedented path for interconversion of geometrical oxoiron(IV) isomers. The activity of the two oxoiron(IV) isomers in hydr… Show more
