Non-heme iron complexes with <i>cis</i>-Fe<sup>III</sup>(OH)(SAr/OAr) coordination were isolated and examined for their reactivity with a tertiary carbon radical. The sulfur-ligated complex shows a temperature dependence on <sup>•</sup>OH versus ArS<sup>•</sup> transfer, whereas the oxygen-ligated complex does not. These results provide the first working model for C-S bond formation in isopenicillin N synthase and indicate that kinetic control may be a key factor in the selectivity of non-heme i ...[more]
