Highly oxidized diiron complexes: generation, spectroscopy, and stabilities†
Abstract
Oxidation of the diferric complex [LFeIIIOFeIIIL] to the monoradical complex [LFeIIIOFeIIIL˙]+ and the diradical complex [L˙FeIIIOFeIIIL˙]2+ is followed by a decay into monomeric complexes including a highly reactive putative [LFeIVO] complex.
