Stabilization and Alkane Hydroxylation by Oxoiron(IV) Prophyrin π-Cation Radical Complex in a,a,a-Trifluorotoluene

摘要

Oxido-iron(IV) porphyrin π-radical cation species, so-called compound I, are involved in a variety of heam-containing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 and peroxidase responsible for the metabolism of aliphatic substrates. This reactive species has been attracting considerable attentions due to its biological importance and characteristic oxidation states consisting of the high-valent iron centre and the π-conjugated ligand.
