Scheme 5

Oxidation of various substrates tethered to coordinated amine or pyridine ligands in carboxylate-rich [Fe2(O2CR)4(L)1-2] complexes. (A and B) C–H bond activation, (C) catalytic oxidation of 2-PyPPh2 and (D) Fe⃛S distance dependent sulfoxidation; R = phenyl (Fe–S distance 2.66 Å), mesityl (Fe⃛S = 3.20 Å) and 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl (Fe⃛S = 4.03 Å).
