A linear correlation between energy of LMCT band and oxygenation reaction rate of a series of catecholatoiron(III) complexes: initial oxygen binding during intradiol catechol oxygenation

The oxygen reactivity of catecholatoiron(III) complexes has been examined using a series of catecholate ligands as the substrate. All the complexes examined here, [Fe III(TPA)(R-Cat)]BPh 4 ( 1– 9) (TPA: tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine; R-Cat: substituted catecholate ligand, R = 3,5- t Bu 2 ( 1), 3,6-...
