Fe<sup>III</sup>-hypohalite complexes have been implicated in a wide range of important enzyme-catalyzed halogenation reactions including the biosynthesis of natural products and antibiotics and post-translational modification of proteins. The absence of spectroscopic data on such species precludes their identification. Herein, we report the generation and spectroscopic characterization of nonheme Fe<sup>III</sup>-hypohalite intermediates of possible relevance to iron halogenases. We show that F ...[more]
