A nonheme iron(III) terminal methoxide complex, [Fe(N3PyO)(OCH)]ClO, was synthesized. Reaction of this complex with the triphenylmethyl radical (PhC) leads to formation of PhCOCH and the one-electron-reduced iron(II) center, as seen by UV-vis, EPR, H NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. These results indicate that homolytic Fe-O bond cleavage occurs together with C-O bond formation, providing a direct observation of the "radical rebound" process proposed for both biological and synthetic nonheme iron centers.
合成了一种非血红素铁(III)末端甲氧基配合物[Fe(N3PyO)(OCH)]ClO。该配合物与三苯甲基自由基(PhC)反应,生成 PhCOCH 和一电子还原的铁(II)中心,通过紫外可见光谱、电子顺磁共振光谱、核磁共振光谱和穆斯堡尔光谱可以观察到这一点。这些结果表明,Fe-O 键的均裂与 C-O 键的形成同时发生,为生物和合成非血红素铁中心提出的“自由基反弹”过程提供了直接观察。
