Models of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO)[1] are useful for studying peroxodiiron (iii) and oxodiiron (iv) intermediates in OÀO activation,[1] as well as for developing an efficient oxidation catalyst.[2] Our synthetic efforts to obtain models for dimetal biosites yielded a series of dinucleating polypyridine ligands.[3] The diiron complex of the hexapyridine ligand efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of alkanes and forms a thermally stable peroxo complex.[3d–f] Diiron complexes of tris (2-pyridylmethyl) amine (TPA) and related ligands are known as effective sMMO models.[4] However, such ligands do not stabilize the diiron core in solution,[5] and the resulting complexes display varied reactivity, depending on them being mono-or diiron complexes.[6, 7] Iron complexes of TPA derivatives catalyze alkene oxidation with H2O2 to give the 1, 2-cis-diol and epoxide, and Rieske dioxygenasetype monoiron active species have been proposed.[6] However, predominant epoxidation was observed with the iron complex of the ligand N, N’-dimethyl-N, N’-bis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethane-1, 2-diamine (MEP), which is similar to TPA, and an sMMO-type diiron species was proposed.[7] Therefore, a TPA-containing dinucleating ligand capable of stabilizing a diiron core in solution would be useful for the development of an effective sMMO model.We prepared 1, 2-bis [2-{bis (2-pyridylmethyl) aminomethyl}-6-pyridyl] ethane (6-HPA) as a bis-TPA dinucleating ligand. Herein, we describe the synthesis, structure, and application of the diiron complex of 6-HPA as a highly useful sMMO model. The complex can catalyze epoxidation with
