High-valent oxoiron species are often invoked as the oxidants in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activating mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes.[1] To date, such iron(IV) intermediates have been characterized for four enzymes, lending strong support for this notion.[2] Within the same time frame, synthetic nonheme complexes containing oxoiron(IV) units have also been described that serve as models for such reactive intermediates.[3] The first crystallographically characterized and most extensively studied member of this family of synthetic oxoiron(IV) complexes is [FeIV(O)(TMC)(NCCH3)](OTf)2 (1-NCCH3)[4] (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). Its structure features a short Fe=O bond (rFe=O = 1.646 A) with an acetonitrile bound trans to the oxo atom.[4] The macrocyclic TMC ligand adopts a trans-I (R,S,R,S) configuration, such that all four methyl groups are oriented in the same direction with respect to the FeN4 plane,[5] and anti to the oxo atom. On the other hand, monoanionic X ligands coordinate syn to the methyl groups in crystal structures of five-coordinate [FeII(TMC)(X)]+ complexes.[6] Herein, we report the unexpected preparation of an inverted isomer of 1-NCCH3 in which the oxo group binds to the site syn to the four methyl groups (Scheme 1). The conversion of 1-NCCH3 to its inverted isomer is effected by treatment with PhIO in the presence of tetrafluroborate, an otherwise inert anion. The switch in binding site of the oxo group engenders changes in the spectroscopic properties of the oxoiron(IV) complex and, more importantly, a significantly enhanced reactivity in hydrogen-atom abstraction and oxo-transfer reactions.
