Electronic structures and spectroscopic signatures of diiron intermediates generated by O2 activation of nonheme iron(ii)–thiolate complexes

Spectroscopic and computational methods are employed to elucidate the geometric and electronic structures of diiron intermediates arising from the reaction of biomimetic nonheme iron–thiolate complexes with O2.

Formation of iron(iii)–thiolate metallocyclophane using a ferrocene-based bis-isocyanide

Ferrocene-based iron–thiolate complexes are reported, and the kinetic product transforms to its corresponding thermodynamic product by the chelating effect of Fc(NC)2.

Nonheme iron–thiolate complexes as structural models of sulfoxide synthase active sites

Two nonheme iron–thiolate complexes that mimic that active-site structures of sulfoxide synthases have been prepared and characterized using crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational methods.

Synthesis of carboxylate-bridged iron–thiolate clusters from alcohols/aldehydes or carboxylate salts

Carboxylate-bridged iron–thiolate clusters were formed from alcohols/aldehydes in air or sodium carboxylates at room temperature.
