Abstract

DFT calculated barriers for C–H activation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene by nonheme iron(IV)-oxo and iron(III)-superoxo species show that the experimental trends can be explained if the spin inversion probability of the TMC iron(IV)-oxo is assumed to be poor. Also, the TMC iron(III)-superoxo reaction proceeds with an endothermic O2-binding energy followed by an intrinsically reactive quintet state.
