Popis: μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged diiron(III) intermediates P are proposed as reactive intermediates in various biological oxidation reactions. In sMMO, P acts as an electrophile, and performs hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfers to electron‐rich substrates. In cyanobacterial ADO, however, P is postulated to react by nucleophilic attack on electrophilic carbon atoms. In biomimetic studies, the ability of μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged dimetal complexes of Fe, Co, Ni and Cu to act as nucleophiles that effect deformylation of aldehydes is documented. By performing reactivity and theoretical studies on an end‐on μ‐1,2‐peroxodicobalt(III) complex 1 involving a non‐heme ligand system, L1, supported on a Sn6O6 stannoxane core, we now show that a peroxo‐bridged dimetal complex can also be a reactive electrophile. The observed electrophilic chemistry, which is induced by the constraints provided by the Sn6O6 core, represents a new domain for metal−peroxide reactivity.
An end‐on μ‐1,2‐peroxodicobalt(III) complex 1 involving a non‐heme ligand system, L1, supported on a Sn6O6 stannoxane core has been found to be a reactive electrophile that is capable of initiating hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfer reactions. The electrophilicity of 1 is attributed to the constraints provided by the Sn6O6 core and represents a new domain for metal−peroxo reactivity.
