Abstract

This review deals with oxo complexes of high-valence iron (oxoferryl, or simply ferryl complexes), which play an important role in the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. The efficiency and high selectivity of natural oxygenases stimulates researchers to design chemical analogues of these systems. Since the advantages of biological and biomimetic oxidation are due to the participation of ferryl intermediates, we will consider the ways of obtaining relatively stable oxo complexes of high-valence iron and their geometric and electronic structure and reactivity.
