Abstract
Abstract The electron-transfer thermodynamics (a) for iron compounds (FeXm) and complexes (FeLn) and (b) for their heteroatoms (X/X−) and ligands (L/L−) in combination with other physical data provide insight into the valence-electron hybridization and bonding of the iron center. The basic conclusions are: (a) the chemical bonding of iron in its compounds and complexes is covalent and similar to that of carbon. (b) the electron-transfer processes of iron complexes are ligand-centered, and (c) the iron-ligand covalent bond energies can be evaluated from the electrochemically determined redox thermodynamics.
