Abstract

The synthesis and reactivity of [Formula: see text]-bridged diiron macrocyclic complexes have been a topic of increasing interest in recent years since the observation of particular catalytic properties of these complexes. Herein, we report a preparation of a novel heteroleptic μ-nitrido diiron complex with unsubstituted phthalocyanine and octapropylporphyrazine macrocycles. This complex reacts with [Formula: see text]-chloroperbenzoic acid to form high-valent diiron oxo species showing strong oxidizing properties. The formation and structure of the transient oxo species was investigated by cryospray collision induced dissociation MS/MS technique. Analysis of fragmentation pattern showed that the attachment of oxo moiety occurred at either iron phthalocyanine or at iron porphyrazine site with slight preference for the phthalocyanine iron site. The catalytic properties of the heteroleptic μ-nitrido diiron complex were evaluated in the oxidative transformation of hexafluorobenzene and perfluoro(allylbenzene).
