Modeling studies support a radical-chain autoxidation mechanism for the aerobic oxidation of isobutane catalyzed by halogenated porphyrin iron complexes. A key role of the electronegative halogen substituents is to increase the Fe-III/(II) redox potential and thereby accelerate oxidation of the intermediate t-butyl hydroperoxide by (porph)Fe-III. The electronic structures of electronegatively substituted salen iron complexes have been characterized by several techniques, and related to changes in catalytic activity for oxidation of cyclohexene. The crystal and molecular structure of [Fe((NO2)(4)salen)(H2O)Cl] is reported.
