Abstract

Recently, we reported the characterization of the S = (1)/ 2 complex [Fe (V)(O)B*] (-), where B* belongs to a family of tetraamido macrocyclic ligands (TAMLs) whose iron complexes activate peroxides for environmentally useful applications. The corresponding one-electron reduced species, [Fe (IV)(O)B*] (2-) ( 2), has now been prepared in >95% yield in aqueous solution at pH > 12 by oxidation of [Fe (III)(H 2O)B*] (-) ( 1), with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. At room temperature, the monomeric species 2 is in a reversible, pH-dependent equilibrium with dimeric species [B*Fe (IV)-O-Fe (IV)B*] (2-) ( 3), with a p K a near 10. In zero field, the Mössbauer spectrum of 2 exhibits a quadrupole doublet with Delta E Q = 3.95(3) mm/s and delta = -0.19(2) mm/s, parameters consistent with a S = 1 Fe (IV) state. Studies in applied magnetic fields yielded the zero-field splitting parameter D = 24(3) cm (-1) together with the magnetic hyperfine tensor A/ g nbeta n = (-27, -27, +2) T. Fe K-edge EXAFS analysis of 2 shows a scatterer at 1.69 (2) A, a distance consistent with a Fe (IV)O bond. DFT calculations for [Fe (IV)(O)B*] (2-) reproduce the experimental data quite well. Further significant improvement was achieved by introducing hydrogen bonding of the axial oxygen with two solvent-water molecules. It is shown, using DFT, that the (57)Fe hyperfine parameters of complex 2 give evidence for strong electron donation from B* to iron.
