Production of a Putative Iron(V)−Oxocorrole Species by Photo-Disproportionation of a Bis-Corrole−Diiron(IV)−μ-Oxo Dimer: Implication for a Green Oxidation Catalyst
摘要:
Photodisproportionation of a bis-corrole-diiron(IV)-mu-oxo dimer gave a corrole-iron(ill) species and a corrole-iron(V)-oxo species that can be detected and studied in real time. Air oxidation of the corrole-iron(ill) species regenerated the bis-corrole-diiron(IV)-mu-oxo dimer, allowing the development of a photocatalytic method for organic oxidations using molecular oxygen and visible light.
