Popis: A series of iron(IV) oxo complexes, which differ in the donor (CH(2)py or CH2COO-) cis to the oxo group, three with hemilabile pendant donor/second coordination sphere base/acid arms (pyH/py or ROH), have been prepared in water at pH 2 and 7. The nu(Fe=O) values of 832 +/- 2 cm(-1) indicate similar Fe-IV=O bond strengths; however, different reactivities toward C-H substrates in water are observed. HAT occurs at rates that differ by 1 order of magnitude with nonclassical KIEs (k(H)/k(D) = 30-66) consistent with hydrogen atom tunneling. Higher KIEs correlate with faster reaction rates as well as a greater thermodynamic stability of the iron(III) resting states. A doubling in rate from pH 7 to pH 2 for substrate C-H oxidation by the most potent complex, that with a cis-carboxylate donor, [(FeO)-O-IV(Htpena)](2+), is observed. Supramolecular assistance by the first and second coordination spheres in activating the substrate is proposed. The lifetime of this complex in the absence of a C-H substrate is the shortest (at pH 2, 3 h vs up to 1.3 days for the most stable complex), implying that slow water oxidation is a competing background reaction. The iron(IV)=O complex bearing an alcohol moiety in the second coordination sphere displays significantly shorter lifetimes due to a competing selective intramolecular oxidation of the ligand.
