Abstract
Treatment of [Co(N2)(tBuPNP)] (tBuPNP = anion of 2,5-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole) with one equivalent of an aryl azide generates the four-coordinate imido complexes [Co(NAr)(tBuPNP)] (Ar = mesityl, phenyl, or 4-tBu-phenyl). X-ray crystallographic analysis of the compounds shows an unusual square-planar geometry about cobalt with nearly linear imido units. In the presence of the hydrogen atom donor, TEMPOH, [Co(NPh)(tBuPNP)] undergoes addition of the H atom to the imido nitrogen to generate the corresponding amido complex, [Co(NHPh)(tBuPNP)], whose structure and composition were verified by independent synthesis. Despite the observation of H atom transfer reactivity with TEMPOH, the imido complexes do not show catalytic activity for C-H amination or aziridination for several substrates examined. In the case of [Co(NPh)(tBuPNP)], addition of excess azide produced the tetrazido complex, [Co(N4Ph2)(tBuPNP)], whose bond metrics were most consistent with an anionic Ph2N4 ligand. Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigations of the imido and tetrazido species suggest that they adopt a ground state best described as possessing a low-spin cobalt(II) ion ferromagnetically coupled to an iminyl radical.

Liang S, Jensen MP. [Fe(NCMe) 6](BF 4) 2 is a bifunctional catalyst for styrene aziridination by nitrene transfer and heterocycle expansion by subsequent dipolar insertion. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 256:112551. [PMID: 38678911 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
The solvated iron(II) salt [Fe(NCMe)6](BF4)2 (Me = methyl) is shown to be a bifunctional catalyst with respect to aziridination of styrene. The salt serves as an active catalyst for nitrene transfer from PhINTs to styrene to form 2-phenyl-N-tosylaziridine (Ph = phenyl; Ts = tosyl, -S{O}2-p-C6H4Me). The iron(II) salt also acts as a Lewis acid in non-coordinating CH2Cl2 solution, to catalyze heterolytic CN bond cleavage of the aziridine and insertion of dipolarophiles. The 1,3-zwitterionic intermediate is presumably supported by interaction of the metal dication with the anion, and by resonance stabilization of the carbocation. Nucleophilic dipolarophiles then insert to give a five-membered heterocyclic ring. The result is a two-step cycloaddition, formally [2 + 1 + 2], that is typically regiospecific, but not stereospecific. This reaction mechanism was confirmed by conducting a series of one-step, [3 + 2] additions of unsaturated molecules into pre-formed 2-phenyl-N-tosylaziridine, also catalyzed by [Fe(NCMe)6](BF4)2. Relevant substrates include styrenes, carbonyl compounds and alkynes. These yield five-membered heterocylic rings, including pyrrolidines, oxazolidines and dihydropyrroles, respectively. The reaction scope appears limited only by the barrier to formation of the dipolar intermediate, and by the nucleophilicity of the captured dipolarophile. The bifunctionality of an inexpensive, earth-abundant and non-toxic catalyst suggests a general strategy for one-pot construction of heterocyclic rings, as demonstrated specifically for pyrrolidine ring formation.

A Comparative Study of Cationic Copper(I) Reagents Supported by Bipodal Tetramethylguanidinyl-Containing Ligands as Nitrene-Transfer Catalysts. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:15697-15708. [PMID: 38585072 PMCID: PMC10993379 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
The bipodal compounds [(TMG2biphenN-R)CuI-NCMe](PF6) (R = Me, Ar (4-CF3Ph-)) and [(TMG2biphenN-Me)CuI-I] have been synthesized with ligands that feature a diarylmethyl- and triaryl-amine framework and superbasic tetramethylguanidinyl residues (TMG). The cationic Cu(I) sites mediate catalytic nitrene-transfer reactions between the imidoiodinane PhI = NTs (Ts = tosyl) and a panel of styrenes in MeCN, to afford aziridines, demonstrating comparable reactivity profiles. The copper reagents have been further explored to execute C-H amination reactions with a variety of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and two distinct nitrene sources PhI = NTs and PhI = NTces (Tces = 2,2,2-trichloroethylsulfamate) in benzene/HFIP (10:2 v/v). Good yields have been obtained for sec-benzylic and tert-C-H bonds of various substrates, especially with the more electron-deficient catalyst [(TMG2biphenN-Ar)CuI-NCMe](PF6). In conjunction with earlier studies, the order of reactivity of these bipodal cationic reagents as a function of the metal employed is established as Cu > Fe > Co ≥ Mn. However, as opposed to the base-metal analogues, the bipodal Cu reagents are less reactive than a similar tripodal Cu catalyst. The observed fluorophilicity of the bipodal Cu compounds may provide a deactivation pathway.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the regioselective functionalization of unsymmetrical ketones using imine directing groups, Cu, and H2O2. The C-H hydroxylation of the substrate-ligands derived from 2-substituted benzophenones occurred exclusively at the γ-position of the unsubstituted ring due to the formation of only one imine stereoisomer. Conversely, the imines derived from 4-substituted benzophenones produced E/Z mixtures that upon reacting with Cu and H2O2 led to two γ-C-H hydroxylation products. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, the ratio of the hydroxylation products did not depend on the ratio of the E/Z isomers but on the electrophilicity of the reactive [LCuOOH]1+. A detailed mechanistic analysis suggests a fast isomerization of the imine substrate-ligand binding the CuOOH core before the rate-determining electrophilic aromatic hydroxylation. Varying the benzophenone substituents and/or introducing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the 4-position of pyridine of the directing group allowed for fine-tuning of the electrophilicity of the mononuclear [LCuOOH]1+ to reach remarkable regioselectivities (up to 91:9 favoring the hydroxylation of the electron-rich arene ring). Lastly, we performed the C-H hydroxylation of alkyl aryl ketones, and like in the unsymmetrical benzophenones, the regioselectivity of the transformations (sp3 vs sp2) could be controlled by varying the electronics of the substrate and/or the directing group.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of a mononuclear nonheme cobalt(III)-imidyl complex, [Co(NTs)(TQA)(OTf)]+ (1), with an S = 3/2 spin state that is capable of facilitating exogenous substrate modifications. Complex 1 was generated from the reaction of CoII(TQA)(OTf)2 with PhINTs at -20 °C. A flow setup with ESI-MS detection was used to explore the kinetics of the formation, stability, and degradation pathway of 1 in solution by treating the Co(II) precursor with PhINTs. Co K-edge XAS data revealed a distinct shift in the Co K-edge compared to the Co(II) precursor, in agreement with the formation of a Co(III) intermediate. The unusual S = 3/2 spin state was proposed based on EPR, DFT, and CASSCF calculations and Co Kβ XES results. Co K-edge XAS and IR photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopies demonstrate that 1 is a six-coordinate species, and IRPD and resonance Raman spectroscopies are consistent with 1 being exclusively the isomer with the NT ligand occupying the vacant site trans to the TQA aliphatic amine nitrogen atom. Electronic structure calculations (broken symmetry DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2) demonstrate an S = 3/2 oxidation state resulting from the strong antiferromagnetic coupling of an •NTs spin to the high-spin S = 2 Co(III) center. Reactivity studies of 1 with PPh3 derivatives revealed its electrophilic characteristic in the nitrene-transfer reaction. While the activation of C-H bonds by 1 was proved to be kinetically challenging, 1 could oxidize weak O-H and N-H bonds. Complex 1 is, therefore, a rare example of a Co(III)-imidyl complex capable of exogenous substrate transformations.

Abstract
ZIF-8, as an important photoresponsive metal-organic framework (MOF), holds great promise in the field of cancer theranostics owing to its versatile physiochemical properties. However, its photocatalytic anticancer application is still restricted because of the wide bandgap and specific response to ultraviolet light. Herein, we developed lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LDNPs) coated with Fe/Mn bimetal-doped ZIF-8 (LDNPs@Fe/Mn-ZIF-8) for second near-infrared (NIR-II) imaging-guided synergistic photodynamic/chemodynamic therapy (PDT/CDT). The LDNPs were synthesized by encapsulating an optimal Yb3+/Ce3+-doped active shell on the NaErF4:Tm core to achieve dual-mode red upconversion (UC) and NIR-II downconversion (DC) emission upon NIR laser irradiation. At the optimal doping concentration, the UC and DC NIR-II emission intensities of LDNPs were increased 30.2- and 13.2-fold above those of core nanoparticles, which endowed LDNPs@Fe/Mn-ZIF-8 with an outstanding capability to carry out UC-mediated PDT and NIR-II optical imaging. In addition, the dual doping of Fe2+/Mn2+ markedly decreased the bandgap of the ZIF-8 photosensitizer from 5.1 to 1.7 eV, expanding the excitation threshold of ZIF-8 to the visible light region (∼650 nm), which enabled Fe/Mn-ZIF-8 to be efficiently excited by UC photons to achieve photocatalytic-driven PDT. Furthermore, Fe2+/Mn2+ ions could be responsively released in the tumor microenvironment through degradation of Fe/Mn-ZIF-8, thereby producing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) by Fenton/Fenton-like reactions to realize CDT. Meanwhile, the degradation of Fe/Mn-ZIF-8 endowed the nanosystems with tumor self-enhanced NIR-II imaging function, providing precise guidance for CDT/PDT.

Aziridination Reactivity of a Manganese(II) Complex with a Bulky Chelating Bis(Alkoxide) Ligand. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27185751.

Abstract
Treatment of Mn(N(SiMe3)2)2(THF)2 with bulky chelating bis(alkoxide) ligand [1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-2,2′′-diylbis(diphenylmethanol) (H2[O-terphenyl-O]Ph) formed a seesaw manganese(II) complex Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2, characterized by structural, spectroscopic, magnetic, and analytical methods. The reactivity of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with various nitrene precursors was investigated. No reaction was observed between Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 and aryl azides. In contrast, the treatment of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with iminoiodinane PhINTs (Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl) was consistent with the formation of a metal-nitrene complex. In the presence of styrene, the reaction led to the formation of aziridine. Combining varying ratios of styrene and PhINTs in different solvents with 10 mol% of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 at room temperature produced 2-phenylaziridine in up to a 79% yield. Exploration of the reactivity of Mn[O-terphenyl-O]Ph(THF)2 with various olefins revealed (1) moderate aziridination yields for p-substituted styrenes, irrespective of the electronic nature of the substituent; (2) moderate yield for 1,1′-disubstituted α-methylstyrene; (3) no aziridination for aliphatic α-olefins; (4) complex product mixtures for the β-substituted styrenes. DFT calculations suggest that iminoiodinane is oxidatively added upon binding to Mn, and the resulting formal imido intermediate has a high-spin Mn(III) center antiferromagnetically coupled to an imidyl radical. This imidyl radical reacts with styrene to form a sextet intermediate that readily reductively eliminates the formation of a sextet Mn(II) aziridine complex.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis of a variety of trigonal imido cobalt complexes [Co(NAryl)L2 ]- , (L=N(Dipp)SiMe3 ), Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with very long Co-NAryl bonds of around 1.75 Å. Their electronic structure was interrogated using a variety of physical and spectroscopic methods such as EPR or X-Ray absorption spectroscopy which leads to their description as highly unusual imidyl cobalt complexes. Computational analyses corroborate these findings and further reveal that the high-spin state is responsible for the imidyl character. Exchange of the Dipp substituent on the imide by the smaller mesityl function (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) effectuates the unexpected Me3 Si shift from the ancillary ligand set to the imidyl nitrogen, revealing a highly reactive, nucleophilic character of the imidyl unit.

Abstract
Rh(iii)-catalyzed allylic C-H amidation of substituted alkenes with in situ generated iminoiodinanes is demonstrated. The presented protocol is compatible with differently functionalized unactivated terminal alkenes and internal alkenes. In terminal alkenes, branch selectivity was observed exclusively. Based on the detailed mechanistic investigation, a possible reaction mechanism involving the in situ generated π-allyl as well as metal-nitrene intermediates has been proposed.

Abstract
Allylation of nucleophiles with highly reactive electrophiles like allyl halides can be conducted without metal catalysts. Less reactive electrophiles, such as allyl esters and carbonates, usually require a transition metal catalyst to facilitate the allylation. Herein, we report a unique transition-metal-free allylation strategy with allyl ether electrophiles. Reaction of a host of allyl ethers with 2-azaallyl anions delivers valuable homoallylic amine derivatives (up to 92%), which are significant in the pharmaceutical industry. Interestingly, no deprotonative isomerization or cyclization of the products were observed. The potential synthetic utility and ease of operation is demonstrated by a gram scale telescoped preparation of a homoallylic amine. In addition, mechanistic studies provide insight into these C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
Recent research has highlighted the key role played by the electron affinity of the active metal-nitrene/imido oxidant as the driving force in nitrene additions to olefins to afford valuable aziridines. The present work showcases a library of Co(II) reagents that, unlike the previously examined Mn(II) and Fe(II) analogues, demonstrate reactivity trends in olefin aziridinations that cannot be solely explained by the electron affinity criterion. A family of Co(II) catalysts (17 members) has been synthesized with the assistance of a trisphenylamido-amine scaffold decorated by various alkyl, aryl, and acyl groups attached to the equatorial amidos. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, cyclic voltammetry and EPR data reveal that the high-spin Co(II) sites (S = 3/2) feature a minimal [N3N] coordination and span a range of 1.4 V in redox potentials. Surprisingly, the Co(II)-mediated aziridination of styrene demonstrates reactivity patterns that deviate from those anticipated by the relevant electrophilicities of the putative metal nitrenes. The representative L4Co catalyst (-COCMe3 arm) is operating faster than the L8Co analogue (-COCF3 arm), in spite of diminished metal-nitrene electrophilicity. Mechanistic data (Hammett plots, KIE, stereocontrol studies) reveal that although both reagents follow a two-step reactivity path (turnover-limiting metal-nitrene addition to the C b atom of styrene, followed by product-determining ring-closure), the L4Co catalyst is associated with lower energy barriers in both steps. DFT calculations indicate that the putative [L4Co]NTs and [L8Co]NTs species are electronically distinct, inasmuch as the former exhibits a single-electron oxidized ligand arm. In addition, DFT calculations suggest that including London dispersion corrections for L4Co (due to the polarizability of the tert-Bu substituent) can provide significant stabilization of the turnover-limiting transition state. This study highlights how small ligand modifications can generate stereoelectronic variants that in certain cases are even capable of overriding the preponderance of the metal-nitrene electrophilicity as a driving force.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed C-N bond formation reactions via acylnitrene transfer have recently attracted much attention, but direct detection of the proposed acylnitrenoid/acylimido M(NCOR) (R=aryl or alkyl) species in these reactions poses a formidable challenge. Herein, we report on Ru(NCOR) intermediates in C-N bond formation catalyzed by [RuIV (Por)Cl2 ]/N3 COR, a catalytic method applicable to aziridine/oxazoline formation from alkenes, amination of substituted indoles, α-amino ketone formation from silyl enol ethers, amination of C(sp3 )-H bonds, and functionalization of natural products and carbohydrate derivatives (up to 99 % yield). Experimental studies, including HR-ESI-MS and EPR measurements, coupled with DFT calculations, lend evidence for the formulation of the Ru(NCOR) acylnitrenoids as a RuV -imido species.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are extensively used in catalysis due to their robust structure, well-defined periodic reaction centers, and high porosity. We report Cu3(BTC)2·(H2O)3 (HKUST-1) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for aziridination of alkene and ring-opening reaction of activated aziridines. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the transfer of a nitrogen group from PhINTs to olefins and its analogue to give aziridines takes place at the coordinatively unsaturated Cu(II) site of Cu3(BTC)2-MOF; however, the ring opening of activated aziridines is controlled by the Cu(II) Lewis acid site, and generation of coordinative unsaturation by thermal activation of the MOF is not necessarily important. The key advantage of this catalytic approach is the direct formation of C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-S bonds yielding β-aryl sulfonamide derivatives through a simultaneous aziridination ring-opening reaction of the alkene in one pot using a single catalyst.

Abstract
![]()
The
oxidation state of the redox noninnocent tetra-amido macrocyclic
ligand (TAML) scaffold was recently shown to affect the formation
of nitrene radical species on cobalt(III) upon reaction with PhI=NNs
[van
LeestN. P.; J. Am. Chem. Soc.2020, 142, 552−56331846578]. For the neutral [CoIII(TAMLsq)] complex, this
leads to the doublet (S = 1/2) mono-nitrene radical species [CoIII(TAMLq)(N•Ns)(Y)] (bearing an unidentified
sixth ligand Y in at least the frozen state), while a triplet (S = 1) bis-nitrene radical species [CoIII(TAMLq)(N•Ns)2]– is generated from the anionic [CoIII(TAMLred)]– complex. The one-electron-reduced
Fischer-type nitrene radicals (N•Ns–) are formed through single (mono-nitrene) or double (bis-nitrene)
ligand-to-substrate single-electron transfer (SET). In this work,
we describe the reactivity and mechanisms of these nitrene radical
complexes in catalytic aziridination. We report that [CoIII(TAMLsq)] and [CoIII(TAMLred)]– are both effective catalysts for chemoselective (C=C
versus C–H bonds) and diastereoselective aziridination of styrene
derivatives, cyclohexane, and 1-hexene under mild and even aerobic
(for [CoIII(TAMLred)]–) conditions.
Experimental (Hammett plots; [CoIII(TAML)]-nitrene radical formation and quantification
under catalytic conditions; single-turnover experiments; and tests
regarding catalyst decomposition, radical inhibition, and radical
trapping) in combination with computational (density functional theory
(DFT), N-electron valence state perturbation theory corrected complete
active space self-consistent field (NEVPT2-CASSCF)) studies reveal
that [CoIII(TAMLq)(N•Ns)(Y)], [CoIII(TAMLq)(N•Ns)2]–, and [CoIII(TAMLsq)(N•Ns)]– are key electrophilic intermediates
in aziridination reactions. Surprisingly, the electrophilic one-electron-reduced
Fischer-type nitrene radicals do not react as would be expected for
nitrene radicals (i.e., via radical addition and radical rebound).
Instead, nitrene transfer proceeds through unusual electronically
asynchronous transition states, in which the (partial) styrene substrate
to TAML ligand (single-) electron transfer precedes C–N coupling.
The actual C–N bond formation processes are best described
as involving a nucleophilic attack of the nitrene (radical) lone pair
at the thus (partially) formed styrene radical cation. These processes
are coupled to TAML-to-cobalt and cobalt-to-nitrene single-electron
transfer, effectively leading to the formation of an amido-γ-benzyl
radical (NsN––CH2–•CH–Ph) bound to an intermediate spin (S = 1) cobalt(III) center. Hence, the TAML moiety can be
regarded to act as a transient electron acceptor, the cobalt center
behaves as a spin shuttle, and the nitrene radical acts as a nucleophile.
Such a mechanism was hitherto unknown for cobalt-catalyzed hypovalent
group transfer and the more general transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene
transfer to alkenes but is now shown to complement the known concerted
and stepwise mechanisms for N-group transfer.

Abstract
The 3d-metal mediated nitrene transfer is under intense scrutiny due to its potential as an atom economic and ecologically benign way for the directed amination of (un)functionalised C-H bonds. Here we present the isolation and characterisation of a rare, trigonal imido cobalt(III) complex, which bears a rather long cobalt-imido bond. It can cleanly cleave strong C-H bonds with a bond dissociation energy of up to 92 kcal mol-1 in an intermolecular fashion, unprecedented for imido cobalt complexes. This resulted in the amido cobalt(II) complex [Co(hmds)2 (NHt Bu)]- . Kinetic studies on this reaction revealed an H atom transfer mechanism. Remarkably, the cobalt(II) amide itself is capable of mediating H atom abstraction or stepwise proton/electron transfer depending on the substrate. A cobalt-mediated catalytic application for substrate dehydrogenation using an organo azide is presented.

Abstract
The reactivity, mechanism and chemoselectivity of the Mn-catalyzed intramolecular C–H amination versus C=C aziridination of allylic substrate cis-4-hexenylsulfamate are investigated by BP86 density functional theory computations. Emphasis is placed on the origins of high reactivity and high chemoselectivity of Mn catalysis. The N p orbital character of frontier orbitals, a strong electron-withdrawing porphyrazine ligand and a poor π backbonding of high-valent MnIII metal to N atom lead to high electrophilic reactivity of Mn-nitrene. The calculated energy barrier of C–H amination is 9.9 kcal/mol lower than that of C=C aziridination, which indicates that Mn-based catalysis has an excellent level of chemoselectivity towards C–H amination, well consistent with the experimental the product ratio of amintion-to-aziridination I:A (i.e., (Insertion):(Aziridination)) >20:1. This extraordinary chemoselectivity towards C–H amination originates from the structural features of porphyrazine: a rigid ligand with the big π-conjugated bond. Electron-donating substituents can further increase Mn-catalyzed C–H amination reactivity. The controlling factors found in this work may be considered as design elements for an economical and environmentally friendly C–H amination system with high reactivity and high chemoselectivity.

Octahedral iron(iv)-tosylimido complexes exhibiting single electron-oxidation reactivity. Chem Sci 2019; 10:9513-9529. [PMID: 32055323 PMCID: PMC6979323 DOI: 10.1039/c9sc02526j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
High valent iron species are very reactive molecules involved in oxidation reactions of relevance to biology and chemical synthesis. Herein we describe iron(iv)-tosylimido complexes [FeIV(NTs)(MePy2tacn)](OTf)2 (1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs) and [FeIV(NTs)(Me2(CHPy2)tacn)](OTf)2 (2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs), (MePy2tacn = N-methyl-N,N-bis(2-picolyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, and Me2(CHPy2)tacn = 1-(di(2-pyridyl)methyl)-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, Ts = Tosyl). 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs are rare examples of octahedral iron(iv)-imido complexes and are isoelectronic analogues of the recently described iron(iv)-oxo complexes [FeIV(O)(L)]2+ (L = MePy2tacn and Me2(CHPy2)tacn, respectively). 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs are metastable and have been spectroscopically characterized by HR-MS, UV-vis, 1H-NMR, resonance Raman, Mössbauer, and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopy as well as by DFT computational methods. Ferric complexes [FeIII(HNTs)(L)]2+, 1(III)-NHTs (L = MePy2tacn) and 2(III)-NHTs (L = Me2(CHPy2)tacn) have been isolated after the decay of 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs in solution, spectroscopically characterized, and the molecular structure of [FeIII(HNTs)(MePy2tacn)](SbF6)2 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Reaction of 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs with different p-substituted thioanisoles results in the transfer of the tosylimido moiety to the sulphur atom producing sulfilimine products. In these reactions, 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs behave as single electron oxidants and Hammett analyses of reaction rates evidence that tosylimido transfer is more sensitive than oxo transfer to charge effects. In addition, reaction of 1(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs and 2(IV)[double bond, length as m-dash]NTs with hydrocarbons containing weak C-H bonds results in the formation of 1(III)-NHTs and 2(III)-NHTs respectively, along with the oxidized substrate. Kinetic analyses indicate that reactions proceed via a mechanistically unusual HAT reaction, where an association complex precedes hydrogen abstraction.
