Abstract

Abstract Various reactions involving iron(IV) and iron(V) oxo compounds or intermediates have been critically reviewed. The goal was to analyze the reasons for a significant interest by researchers to this biocatalytically inspired field of chemistry, in which the guiding stars are oxidizing enzymes cytochrome P450 and peroxidases. Properties and reactivity of iron(V)oxo species are discussed with a reference to comparable iron(IV)oxo compounds. Catalytic properties of iron compounds in aqueous solutions are reviewed with an emphasis upon iron(III) complexes of quadruply deprotonated tetraamido macrocyclic ligands (TAML activators). Novel applications of TAML activators are presented. New trends in developing oxidative catalysis by iron compounds are also briefly discussed.
