Open AccessChemoselectivity in the Oxidation of Cycloalkenes with a Non-Heme Iron(IV)-Oxo-Chloride Complex: Epoxidation vs. Hydroxylation Selectivity
We report and analyze chemoselectivity in the gas phase reactions of cycloalkenes (cyclohexene, cycloheptene, cis-cyclooctene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene) with a non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complex [(PyTACN)Fe(O)(Cl)]+, which ...

Asymmetric Epoxidation Catalyzed by Biologically Inspired Non-heme Iron Catalysts and Hydrogen Peroxide
Asymmetric epoxidation is a very interesting reaction in organic synthesis because it allows the transformation of highly abundant hydrocarbons in chiral oxygenated products that can be further used in the pre...

Recent Advances in the Selective Oxidation of Alkyl C–H Bonds Catalyzed by Iron Coordination Complexes
Selective and stereoretentive oxidation of alkyl C–H bonds has been described over the last decade by employing biologically inspired iron coordination complexes as catalysts and hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. ...

Discussion of an open problem
Quantum mechanics rears its head in many places and one of them is inorganic chemistry, where the electronic spin associated with unpaired electrons has a profound influence. This was the topic of the 2012 CEC...

Alkane C–H Oxygenation Catalyzed by Transition Metal Complexes
Alkane oxidation reactions are of fundamental importance in bulk and fine chemistry, but the inert character of alkyl C–H bonds poses formidable challenges to the design of reagents that could enable their sel...

Observation of Fe(V)=O using variable-temperature mass spectrometry and its enzyme-like C–H and C=C oxidation reactions
Oxo-transfer chemistry mediated by iron underpins many biological processes and today is emerging as synthetically very important for the catalytic oxidation of C–H and C=C moieties that are hard to activate c...

Correlated and Non-Correlated Wave Functions for Organometallics
Electron correlation is the everlasting concern of people involved in ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations. If the investigation is restricted to the structure and properties of the ground state, the importance...
