Abstract
Picky ferryl: The complex [Fe(TpPh 2)(BF)] (TpPh 2=hydrotris(3, 5-diphenylpyrazolyl)borate; BF=benzoylformate) reacts with O2 to generate an oxidant (see picture; O red, pink; Fe yellow; N blue; C gray; H white) that oxidizes added hydrocarbons shapeselectively. Discrimination derives from a cleft formed by two phenyl groups of the TpPh 2 ligand, favoring oblate spheroidal substrates.
