The Reaction of a High‐Valent Nonheme Oxoiron(IV) Intermediate with Hydrogen Peroxide

An FeIVO group meets with H2O2!Reaction of high‐valent iron with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is in general reserved for heme centers. Employing a biomimetic metal complex, the direct reaction of a mononuclear nonheme oxoiron(IV) species with H2O2was observed and studied mechanistically, offering a new perspective for the chemistry between ROS and high‐valent oxometal complexes.
