Octahedral iron(iv)-tosylimido complexes exhibiting single electron-oxidation reactivity.

ABSTRACT: High valent iron species are very reactive molecules involved in oxidation reactions of relevance to biology and chemical synthesis. Herein we describe iron(iv)-tosylimido complexes [Fe^IV(NTs)(MePy₂tacn)](OTf)₂ (1^(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs) and [Fe^IV(NTs)(Me₂(CHPy₂)tacn)](OTf)₂ (2^(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs), (MePy₂tacn = N-methyl-N,N-bis(2-picolyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, and Me₂(CHPy₂)tacn = 1-(di(2-pyridyl)methyl)-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, Ts = Tosyl). 1^(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2^(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs are rare examples
