A monocarboxylate-bridged diiron(III) mu-oxido complex that catalyzes alkane oxidation by hydrogen peroxide

Summary, in English

Reaction of the ligand 2-(N-isopropyl-N-{(2-pyridyl)methyl}aminomethyl)- 6-(N-(carboxymethyl)-N-((2-pyridyl)-methyl) aminomethyl)- 4-methylphenol (H2IPCPMP) with two equivalents of Fe(ClO4)(2) and two equivalents of sodium pivalate in air leads to the formation of the mu-oxido, mu-carboxylato-bridged diiron complex [{Fe(H-IPCPMP)}(2)(mu-O)(Piv)]ClO4 (1) (Piv = pivalate). Complex 1 is capable of catalysing the oxidation of cyclohexane or 1,2-cis-dimethylcyclohexane by hydrogen peroxide, leading to the formation of the corresponding cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, as well as a small amount of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide.
