Formation, stability, and reactivity of a mononuclear nonheme oxoiron(IV) complex in aqueous solution

Abstract

A mononuclear nonheme oxoiron(IV) complex bearing a pentadentate N5 ligand was prepared in aqueous solution; the pH dependence of its stability and reactivities was reported along with the mechanistic details of sulfide oxidation by the oxoiron(IV) species. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
