Soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) carries out methane oxidation at 4 °C and under ambient pressure in a catalytic cycle involving the formation of a peroxodiiron(III) intermediate (<b>P</b>) from the oxygenation of the diiron(II) enzyme and its subsequent conversion to <b>Q</b>, the diiron(IV) oxidant that hydroxylates methane. Synthetic diiron(IV) complexes that can serve as models for <b>Q</b> are rare and have not been generated by a reaction sequence analogous to that of sMMO. In this wor ...[more]
