| Popis: | N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), and macrocyclic NHCs in particular, have been applied successfully to the stabilization of high oxidation states on transition metal complexes. This access to high oxidation states has enabled their application in oxidative catalysis including aziridination and epoxidation. However, the number of macrocyclic tetra-NHC ligands is still limited, especially those featuring anionic charge, which is beneficial in this regard. In this manuscript, we report a facile and high yielding synthesis for only the second example of such a dianionic, macrocyclic tetra-NHC ligand. This 16-atom macrocycle has the ring size and charge of a porphyrin but with the increased electron donation of NHCs. Its Fe(II) and Fe(III) complexes are reported, and their reactivities for ligand addition and oxidation were tested. Multiple oxidation catalysis reactions were tested with both the Fe(II) and Fe(III) complexes with reagents such as trimethylamine-N-oxide, oxygen (from air), diazodiphenylmethane, a... |
