Geometric parameters for the S = 1 ground state (GS) and the S = 2 excited state (ES) reproduced from Table 4 along with those of the corresponding H-atom abstraction and oxo-transfer transition state complexes of [FeIV=O(TBC)(CH3CN)]2+ (2) and [FeIV=O(TMC)(CH3CN)]2+. Structures calculated using B3LYP/6-311G(d). All distances are given in Å, all angles (∠) are in degrees, SD = Standard Deviation. Reference SI Figure 12 for descriptions and SI Table 4, 6 and 7 for additional parameters.
