Abstract
Insight Into the electronic structures of I high-valent intermediates with the {FeIV2(μ-O)2} "diamond core" is provided by density theory calculations. These electronic structures are contrasted with nitrido-bridged heme dimers that contain metal centers with the same oxidation state. Such diamond-core intermediates might actually occur in the catalytic cycles of diiron alkane monooxygenases such as AlkB.
