Abstract
We report herein the first example of an oxoiron(IV) complex of an ethylene-bridged dialkylcyclam ligand, [FeIV(O)(Me2EBC)(NCMe)]2+ (2; Me2EBC = 4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane). Complex 2 has been characterized by UV–vis, 1H NMR, resonance Raman, Mössbauer, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy as well as electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and its properties have been compared with those of the closely related [FeIV(O)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+ (3; TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), the intensively studied prototypical oxoiron(IV) complex of the macrocyclic tetramethylcyclam ligand. Me2EBC has an N4 donor set nearly identical with that of TMC but possesses an ethylene bridge in place of the 1- and 8-methyl groups of TMC. As a consequence, Me2EBC is forced to deviate from the trans-I configuration typically found for FeIV(O)(TMC) complexes and instead adopts a folded cis-V stereochemistry that requires the MeCN ligand to coordinate cis to the FeIV═O unit in 2 rather than in the trans arrangement found in 3. However, switching from the trans geometry of 3 to the cis geometry of 2 did not significantly affect their ground-state electronic structures, although a decrease in ν(Fe═O) was observed for 2. Remarkably, despite having comparable FeIV/III reduction potentials, 2 was found to be significantly more reactive than 3 in both oxygen-atom-transfer (OAT) and hydrogen-atom-transfer (HAT) reactions. A careful analysis of density functional theory calculations on the HAT reactivity of 2 and 3 revealed the root cause to be the higher oxyl character of 2, leading to a stronger O---H bond specifically in the quintet transition state.
