Abstract
We have developed a family of dinucleating ligands with varying terminal donors to generate dinuclear peroxo and high-valent complexes and to correlate their stabilities and reactivities with their molecular and electronic structures as a function of the terminal donors. It appears that the electron-donating ability of the terminal donors is an important handle for controlling these stabilities and reactivities. Here, we present the synthesis of a new dinucleating ligand with potentially strong donating terminal imidazole donors. As CoII ions are sensitive to variations in donor strength in terms of coordination number, magnetism, UV-Vis-NIR spectra, redox potentials, we probe the electron donation ability of this new ligand in CoIICoII complexes in comparison to the parent CoIICoII complexes with terminal pyridine donors and we synthesize the analogous CoIICoII complexes with terminal 6-methylpyridines and methoxy-substituted pyridines. The molecular structures show indeed strong variations in coordination numbers and bond lengths. These differences in the molecular structures are reflected in the magnetic properties and in the d-d transitions demonstrating that the molecular structures remain intact upon dissolution. The redox potentials are analyzed with respect to the electron donation ability and are the only handle to observe an effect of the methoxy-substituted pyridines. All data taken together show the following order of electron donating ability for the terminal donors: 6-methylpyridines ≪ pyridines < methoxy-substituted pyridines ≪ imidazoles.

Abstract
Tetradentate-N4 ligands stabilize dinuclear {CuII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CuII} and {CuIII(μ-O)2CuIII} species, and CuII complexes of these ligands were reported to catalyze the oxidation of benzene with H2O2. Here, we report {CuII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CuII} and {CuIII(μ-O)2CuIII} intermediates of dinucleating bis(tetradentate-N4) ligands depending on the absence or presence of 6-methyl substituents on the terminal pyridine donors, respectively, generated either from {CuICuI} precursors with O2 or from {CuIICuII} precursors with H2O2 and NEt3. Both intermediates are not stable even at low temperatures, but they show no electrophilic HAT reactivity with DHA. Catalytic investigations on the hydroxylation of benzene with excess H2O2 between 30 and 50 °C indicate that both radical-based and {Cu2On}-based mechanisms depend strongly on the catalytic conditions. In the presence of a radical scavenger, TONs of ∼920/∼720 have been achieved without/with the 6-methyl group of the ligand. Although {CuII(μ-OH)CuII} reacts with excess H2O2 at -40 °C to {CuII(OOH)}2 species, these are only stable for seconds at 20 °C and cannot account for catalytic oxidations over a period of 24 h at 30-50 °C.

Abstract
Non-heme diiron enzymes activate O2 for the oxidation of substrates in the form of peroxo FeIII2 or high-valent FeIV2 intermediates. We have developed a dinucleating bis(tetradentate) ligand system that stabilizes peroxo and hydroperoxo FeIII2 complexes with terminal 6-methylpyridine donors, while the peroxo FeIII2 intermediate is reactive with terminal pyridine donors presumably via conversion to a fluent high-valent FeIV2 intermediate. We present here a derivative with electron-donating methoxy substituents at the pyridine donors and its diferric complexes with an {FeIIIX(μ-O)FeIIIX} (X- = Cl-, OAc-, and OH-) or an {FeIII(μ-O)(μ-OAc)FeIII} core. The complex-induced oxidation of EtOH with H2O2 provides μ-OAc-, and in acetone, the complex with mixed OH-/OAc- exogenous donors is obtained. Both reactivities indicate a reactive fluent peroxo FeIII2 intermediate. The coupling constant J and the LMCT transitions are insensitive to the nature of the directly bound ligands X- and reflect mainly the electronic structure of the central {FeIII(μ-O)FeIII} core, while Mössbauer spectroscopy and d-d transitions probe the local FeIII sites. The remote methoxy substituents decrease the potential for the oxidation to FeIV by ∼100 mV, while directly bound OH- in {FeIII(OH)(μ-O)FeIII(OH)} with a short 1.91 Å FeIII-OOH bond decreases the potential by 590 mV compared to {FeIII(OAc)(μ-O)FeIII(OAc)} with a 2.01 Å FeIII-OOAc bond. Interestingly, this FeIII-OH bond is even shorter (1.87 Å) in the mixed OH-/OAc- complex but the potential is the mean value of the potentials of the OH-/OH- and OAc-/OAc- complexes, thus reflecting the electron density of the central {FeIII(μ-O)FeIII} core and not of the local FeIII-OH unit.

Abstract
Peroxo complexes are key intermediates in water oxidation catalysis (WOC). Cobalt plays an important role in WOC, either as oxides CoOx or as {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} complexes, which are the oldest peroxo complexes known. The oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} complexes had usually been described to form {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)CoIII} complexes; however, recently the formation of {CoIV(μ-1,2-peroxo)CoIII} species were suggested. Using a bis(tetradentate) dinucleating ligand, we present here the synthesis and characterization of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} and {CoIII(μ-OH)2CoIII} complexes. Oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} at -40 °C in CH3CN provides the stable {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} species and activates electrophilic reactivity. Moreover, {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} catalyzes water oxidation, not molecularly but rather via CoOx films. While {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} can be reversibly deprotonated with DBU at -40 °C in CH3CN, {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} undergoes irreversible conversions upon reaction with bases to a new intermediate that is also the decay product of {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} in aqueous solution at pH > 2. Based on a combination of experimental methods, the new intermediate is proposed to have a {CoII(μ-OH)CoIII} core formed by the release of O2 from {CoIII(μ-1,2-superoxo)(μ-OH)CoIII} confirmed by a 100% yield of O2 upon photocatalytic oxidation of {CoIII(μ-1,2-peroxo)(μ-OH)CoIII}. This release of O2 by oxidation of a peroxo intermediate corresponds to the last step in molecular WOC.

Abstract
μ-1,2-Peroxo-diferric intermediates (P) of non-heme diiron enzymes are proposed to convert upon protonation either to high-valent active species or to activated P′ intermediates via hydroperoxo-diferric intermediates. Protonation of synthetic μ-1,2-peroxo model complexes occurred at the μ-oxo and not at the μ-1,2-peroxo bridge. Here we report a stable μ-1,2-peroxo complex {FeIII(μ-O)(μ-1,2-O2)FeIII} using a dinucleating ligand and study its reactivity. The reversible oxidation and protonation of the μ-1,2-peroxo-diferric complex provide μ-1,2-peroxo FeIVFeIII and μ-1,2-hydroperoxo-diferric species, respectively. Neither the oxidation nor the protonation induces a strong electrophilic reactivity. Hence, the observed intramolecular C-H hydroxylation of preorganized methyl groups of the parent μ-1,2-peroxo-diferric complex should occur via conversion to a more electrophilic high-valent species. The thorough characterization of these species provides structure-spectroscopy correlations allowing insights into the formation and reactivities of hydroperoxo intermediates in diiron enzymes and their conversion to activated P′ or high-valent intermediates. Iron coordination complexes can be used to gain insight on biologically relevant iron-oxygen compounds generated in iron metalloenzymes. Here, the authors characterise a μ-1,2-hydroperoxo FeIIIFeIII and a μ-1,2-peroxo FeIVFeIII, and study their reactivity in C-H activation.

Abstract
The nonheme iron(IV)-oxido complex trans-N3-[(L1 )FeIV =O(Cl)]+ , where L1 is a derivative of the tetradentate bispidine 2,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-1-one, is known to have an S=1 electronic ground state and to be an extremely reactive oxidant for oxygen atom transfer (OAT) and hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) processes. Here we show that, in spite of this ferryl oxidant having the "wrong" spin ground state, it is the most reactive nonheme iron model system known so far and of a similar order of reactivity as nonheme iron enzymes (C-H abstraction of cyclohexane, -90 °C (propionitrile), t1/2 =3.5 sec). Discussed are spectroscopic and kinetic data, supported by a DFT-based theoretical analysis, which indicate that substrate oxidation is significantly faster than self-decay processes due to an intramolecular demethylation pathway and formation of an oxido-bridged diiron(III) intermediate. It is also shown that the iron(III)-chlorido-hydroxido/cyclohexyl radical intermediate, resulting from C-H abstraction, selectively produces chlorocyclohexane in a rebound process. However, the life-time of the intermediate is so long that other reaction channels (known as cage escape) become important, and much of the C-H abstraction therefore is unproductive. In bulk reactions at ambient temperature and at longer time scales, there is formation of significant amounts of oxidation product - selectively of chlorocyclohexane - and it is shown that this originates from oxidation of the oxido-bridged diiron(III) resting state.
