Abstract

Reactivities of non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complexes are mostly controlled by the ligands. Complexes with tetradentate ligands such as [(TPA)FeO]²⁺ (TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) belong to the most reactive ones. Here, we show a fine-tuning of the reactivity of [(TPA)FeO]²⁺ by an additional ligand X (X=CH₃CN, CF₃SO₃⁻, ArI, and ArIO; ArI=2-(^tBuSO₂)C₆H₄I) attached in solution and reveal a thus far unknown role of the ArIO oxidant. The HAT reactivity of [(TPA)FeO(X)]^+/2+ decreases in the order of X: ArIO > MeCN > ArI ≈ TfO⁻. Hence, ArIO is not just a mere oxidant of the iron(II) complex, but it can also increase the reactivity of the iron(IV)-oxo complex as a labile ligand. The detected HAT reactivities of the [(TPA)FeO(X)]^+/2+ complexes correlate with the Fe=O and FeO−H stretching vibrations of the reactants and the respective products as determined by infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. Hence, the most reactive [(TPA)FeO(ArIO)]²⁺ adduct in the series has the weakest Fe=O bond and forms the strongest FeO−H bond in the HAT reaction.
