The iron oxo unit, [Fe=O] <sup><i>n</i>+</sup> is a critical intermediate in biological oxidation reactions. While its higher oxidation states are well studied, relatively little is known about the least-oxidized form [Fe<sup>III</sup>=O]<sup>+</sup>. Here, the thermally stable complex PhB(AdIm)<sub>3</sub>Fe=O has been structurally, spectroscopically, and computationally characterized as a <i>bona fide</i> iron(III) oxo. An unusually short Fe-O bond length is consistent with iron-oxygen multipl ...[more]
