The [Fe (O)(Me NTB)] (Me NTB=tris[(1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl]amine) complex 1 has been shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy to have an S=1 ground state at 4 K, but is proposed to become an S=2 trigonal-bipyramidal species at higher temperatures based on a DFT model to rationalize its very high C-H bond-cleavage reactivity. In this work, H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine that 1 does not have C -symmetry in solution and is not an S=2 species. Our results show that 1 is unique among nonheme Fe =O complexes in retaining its S=1 spin state and high reactivity at 193 K, providing evidence that S=1 Fe =O complexes can be as reactive as their S=2 counterparts. This result emphasizes the need to identify factors besides the ground spin state of the Fe =O center to rationalize nonheme oxoiron(IV) reactivity.
[Fe (O)(Me NTB)](Me NTB = 三[(1 - 甲基 - 苯并咪唑 - 2 - 基)甲基]胺)配合物1经穆斯堡尔光谱表明在4 K时具有S = 1基态,但基于密度泛函理论(DFT)模型推测在较高温度下会变成S = 2的三角双锥物种,以解释其非常高的C - H键裂解反应活性。在这项工作中,利用核磁共振氢谱确定1在溶液中不具有C₂对称性且不是S = 2物种。我们的结果表明,1在非血红素Fe =O配合物中是独特的,在193 K时保持其S = 1自旋态和高反应活性,这证明S = 1的Fe =O配合物可以与其S = 2的对应物一样具有反应活性。这一结果强调了除了Fe =O中心的基态自旋态之外,还需要确定其他因素来解释非血红素氧合铁(IV)的反应活性。
