Abstract
The diiron(II) complex, [(OCO)Fe(MeCN)]2 (1, MeCN = acetonitrile), supported by the bis-phenolate carbene pincer ligand, 1,3-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazolin-2-ylidene (OCO), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared (IR) vibrational, ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared (UV/vis/NIR) electronic absorption, 57Fe Mössbauer, X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and SQUID magnetization measurements. Complex 1 activates dioxygen to yield the diferric, μ-oxo-bridged complex [(OCO)Fe(py)(μ-O)Fe(O(C═O)O)(py)] (2) that was isolated and fully characterized. In 2, one of the iron-carbene bonds was oxidized to give a urea motif, resulting in an O(CNHC═O)O binding site, while the other Fe(OCO) unit remained unchanged. When the reaction is performed at -80 °C, an intensively colored, purple intermediate is observed (INT, λmax = 570 nm; ε = 5600 mol L-1 cm-1). INT acts as a sluggish oxidant, reacting only with easily oxidizable substrates, such as PPh3 or 2-phenylpropionic aldehyde (2-PPA). The identity of INT can be best described as a dinuclear complex containing a closed diamond core motif [(OCO)FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV(OCO)]. This proposal is based on extensive spectroscopic [UV/vis/NIR electronic absorption, 57Fe Mössbauer, X-band EPR, resonance Raman (rRaman), X-ray absorption, and nuclear resonance vibrational (NRVS)] and computational studies. The conversion of the diiron(II) complex 1 to the oxo diiron(IV) intermediate INT is reminiscent of the O2 activation process in soluble methane monooxygenases (sMMO). Most importantly, the low reactivity of INT supports the consensus that the [FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV] diamond core in sMMO is kinetically inert and needs to open up to terminal FeIV═O cores to react with the strong C-H bonds of methane.

Abstract
Dinickel dichalcogenide complexes hold vital multifaceted significance across catalysis, electron transfer, magnetism, materials science, and energy conversion. Understanding their structure, bonding, and reactivity is crucial for all aforementioned applications. These complexes are classified as dichalcogenide, subchalcogenide, or chalcogenide based on metal oxidation and coordinated chalcogen, and due to the associated complex electronic structure, ambiguity often lingers about their classification. In this work, using DFT, CASSCF/NEVPT2, and DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods, we have studied in detail [(NiL)2(E2)] (L = 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane; E = O, S, Se and Te) complexes and explored their reactivity towards C-H bond activation for the first time. Through a comprehensive analysis of the structure, bonding, and reactivity of a series of [(NiL)2(E2)] complexes with E = O, S, Se, and Te, our computational findings suggest that {Ni2O2} and {Ni2S2} are best categorised as dichalcogenide-type complexes. In contrast, {Ni2Se2} and {Ni2Te2} display tendencies consistent with the subchalcogenide classification, and this aligns with the earlier structural correlation proposed (Berry and co-workers, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 4993) reports on the importance of the E-E bond strength. Our study suggests the reactivity order of {Ni2O2} > {Ni2S2} > {Ni2Se2} > {Ni2Te2} for C-H bond activation, and the origin of the difference in reactivity was attributed to the difference in the Ni-E bond covalency, and electronic cooperativity between two Ni centres that switch among the classification during the reaction. Further non-adiabatic analysis at the C-H bond activation step demonstrates a decrease in coupling strength as we progress down the group, indicating a correlation with metal-ligand covalency. Notably, the reactivity trend is found to be correlated to the strength of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling constant J via developing a magneto-structural-barrier map - offering a hitherto unknown route to fine-tune the reactivity of this important class of compound.

Abstract
High-valent Fe(IV)=O intermediates of metalloenzymes have inspired numerous efforts to generate synthetic analogs to mimic and understand their substrate oxidation reactivities. However, high-valent M(IV) complexes of late transition metals are rare. We have recently reported a novel Co(IV)-dinitrate complex (1-NO3) that activates sp3 C-H bonds up to 87 kcal/mol. In this work, we have shown that the nitrate ligands in 1-NO3 can be replaced by azide, a more basic coordinating base, resulting in the formation of a more potent Co(IV)-diazide species (1-N3) that reacts with substrates (hydrocarbons and phenols) at faster rate constants and activates stronger C-H bonds than the parent complex 1-NO3. We have characterized 1-N3 employing a combination of spectroscopic and computational approaches. Our results clearly show that the coordination of azide leads to the modulation of the Co(IV) electronic structure and the Co(IV/III) redox potential. Together with the higher basicity of azide, these thermodynamic parameters contribute to the higher driving forces of 1-N3 than 1-NO3 for C-H bond activation. Our discoveries are thus insightful for designing more reactive bio-inspired high-valent late transition metal complexes for activating inert aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Non-heme mononuclear iron dependent (NHM-Fe) enzymes exhibit exceedingly diverse catalytic reactivities. Despite their catalytic versatilities, the mononuclear iron centers in these enzymes show a relatively simple architecture, in which an iron atom is ligated with 2-4 amino acid residues, including histidine, aspartic or glutamic acid. In the past two decades, a common high-valent reactive iron intermediate, the S=2 oxyferryl (Fe(IV)-oxo or Fe(IV)=O) species, has been repeatedly discovered in NHM-Fe enzymes containing a 2-His-Fe or 2-His-1-carboxylate-Fe center. However, for 3-His/4-His-Fe enzymes, no common reactive intermediate has been identified. Recently, we have spectroscopically characterized the first S=1 Fe(IV) intermediate in a 3-His-Fe containing enzyme, OvoA, which catalyzes a novel oxidative carbon-sulfur bond formation. In this review, we summarize the broad reactivities demonstrated by S=2 Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates, the discovery of the first S=1 Fe(IV) intermediate in OvoA and the mechanistic implication of such a discovery, and the intrinsic reactivity differences of the S=2 and the S=1 Fe(IV)-oxo species. Finally, we postulate the possible reasons to utilize an S=1 Fe(IV) species in OvoA and their implications to other 3-His/4-His-Fe enzymes.

Abstract
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as their source of energy and carbon, first by oxidizing it to methanol. The direct oxidation of methane to methanol is a chemically difficult transformation, accomplished in methanotrophs by complex methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzyme systems. These enzymes use iron or copper metallocofactors and have been the subject of detailed investigation. While the structure, function, and active site architecture of the copper-dependent particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) have been investigated extensively, its putative quaternary interactions, regulation, requisite cofactors, and mechanism remain enigmatic. The iron-dependent soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) has been characterized biochemically, structurally, spectroscopically, and, for the most part, mechanistically. Here, we review the history of MMO research, focusing on recent developments and providing an outlook for future directions of the field. Engineered biological catalysis systems and bioinspired synthetic catalysts may continue to emerge along with a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of biological methane oxidation. Harnessing the power of these enzymes will necessitate combined efforts in biochemistry, structural biology, inorganic chemistry, microbiology, computational biology, and engineering.

Abstract
The hydroxylation of C-H bonds can be carried out by the high-valent CoIII,IV2(µ-O)2 complex 2a supported by the tetradentate tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand via a CoIII2(µ-O)(µ-OH) intermediate (3a). Complex 3a can be independently generated either by H-atom transfer (HAT) in the reaction of 2a with phenols as the H-atom donor or protonation of its conjugate base, the CoIII2(µ-O)2 complex 1a. Resonance Raman spectra of these three complexes reveal oxygen-isotope-sensitive vibrations at 560 to 590 cm-1 associated with the symmetric Co-O-Co stretching mode of the Co2O2 diamond core. Together with a Co•••Co distance of 2.78(2) Å previously identified for 1a and 2a by Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) analysis, these results provide solid evidence for their "diamond core" structural assignments. The independent generation of 3a allows us to investigate HAT reactions of 2a with phenols in detail, measure the redox potential and pKa of the system, and calculate the O-H bond strength (DO-H) of 3a to shed light on the C-H bond activation reactivity of 2a. Complex 3a is found to be able to transfer its hydroxyl ligand onto the trityl radical to form the hydroxylated product, representing a direct experimental observation of such a reaction by a dinuclear cobalt complex. Surprisingly, reactivity comparisons reveal 2a to be 106-fold more reactive in oxidizing hydrocarbon C-H bonds than corresponding FeIII,IV2(µ-O)2 and MnIII,IV2(µ-O)2 analogs, an unexpected outcome that raises the prospects for using CoIII,IV2(µ-O)2 species to oxidize alkane C-H bonds.

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
In nature, nonheme iron enzymes use dioxygen to generate high-spin iron(IV)=O species for a variety of oxygenation reactions. Although synthetic chemists have long sought to mimic this reactivity, the enzyme-like activation of O2 to form high-spin iron(IV) = O species remains an unrealized goal. Here, we report a metal-organic framework featuring iron(II) sites with a local structure similar to that in α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. The framework reacts with O2 at low temperatures to form high-spin iron(IV) = O species that are characterized using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform, in situ and variable-field Mössbauer, Fe Kβ x-ray emission, and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopies. In the presence of O2, the framework is competent for catalytic oxygenation of cyclohexane and the stoichiometric conversion of ethane to ethanol.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Evans method analysis suggest that [Cu2(O)(NO)]2+ complexes transition from the S = 1/2 to the S = 3/2 state around ca. 202 K. At low temperatures (198 K) where S = 3/2 dominates, a strong correlation between the rate of HAT (kHAT) and the population of the S = 1/2 state was identified (R2 = 0.988), suggesting that the HAT by [Cu2(O)(NO)]2+ complexes proceeds by the S = 1/2 isomer. Installation of functional groups that introduce an unsymmetric secondary coordination environment accelerates the HAT rates through perturbation of the spin equilibria. Given the often unsymmetric coordination sphere of bimetallic active sites in natural proteins, we anticipate that similar strategies could be employed by metalloenzymes to control HAT reactions.

Abstract
Cyclic iron tetracarbenes are an emerging class of macrocyclic iron N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. They can be considered as an organometallic compound class inspired by their heme analogs, however, their electronic properties differ, e.g. due to the very strong σ-donation of the four combined NHCs in equatorial coordination. The ligand framework of iron tetracarbenes can be readily modified, allowing fine-tuning of the structural and electronic properties of the complexes. The properties of iron tetracarbene complexes are discussed quantitatively and correlations are established. The electronic nature of the tetracarbene ligand allows the isolation of uncommon iron(III) and iron(IV) species and reveals a unique reactivity. Iron tetracarbenes are successfully applied in C-H activation, CO2 reduction, aziridination and epoxidation catalysis and mechanisms as well as decomposition pathways are described. This review will help researchers evaluate the structural and electronic properties of their complexes and target their catalyst properties through ligand design.

Abstract
Diiron cofactors in enzymes perform diverse challenging transformations. The structures of high valent intermediates (Q in methane monooxygenase and X in ribonucleotide reductase) are debated since Fe-Fe distances of 2.5-3.4 Å were attributed to "open" or "closed" cores with bridging or terminal oxido groups. We report the crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization of a FeIII 2 (μ-O)2 complex (2) with tetrahedral (4C) centres and short Fe-Fe distance (2.52 Å), persisting in organic solutions. 2 shows a large Fe K-pre-edge intensity, which is caused by the pronounced asymmetry at the TD FeIII centres due to the short Fe-μ-O bonds. A ≈2.5 Å Fe-Fe distance is unlikely for six-coordinate sites in Q or X, but for a Fe2 (μ-O)2 core containing four-coordinate (or by possible extension five-coordinate) iron centres there may be enough flexibility to accommodate a particularly short Fe-Fe separation with intense pre-edge transition. This finding may broaden the scope of models considered for the structure of high-valent diiron intermediates formed upon O2 activation in biology.

The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of [IV,IV]2+ and [IV,IV_1H]3+ were investigated both in organic solvents and aqueous solutions. The reactivity toward organic solvents having (a) methyl group(s) and reactions with organic substrates were studied as well.

Abstract
AbstractThe oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a crucial role in (photo)electrochemical devices that use renewable energy to produce synthetic fuels. Recent measurements on semiconducting oxides have found a power law dependence of the OER rate on surface hole density, suggesting a multihole mechanism. In this study, using transient photocurrent measurements, density functional theory simulations and microkinetic modelling, we have uncovered the origin of this behaviour in haematite. We show here that the OER rate has a third-order dependence on the surface hole density. We propose a mechanism wherein the reaction proceeds by accumulating oxidizing equivalents through a sequence of one-electron oxidations of surface hydroxy groups. The key O–O bond formation step occurs by the dissociative chemisorption of a hydroxide ion involving three oxyl sites. At variance with the case of metallic oxides, the activation energy of this step is weakly dependent on the surface hole coverage, leading to the observed power law.

Abstract
Soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) facilitates the conversion of methane to methanol at a non-heme FeIV2 intermediate MMOHQ, which is formed in the active site of the sMMO hydroxylase component (MMOH) during the catalytic cycle. Other biological systems also employ high-valent FeIV sites in catalysis; however, MMOHQ is unique as Nature’s only identified FeIV2 intermediate. Previous 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic studies have shown that MMOHQ employs antiferromagnetic coupling of the two FeIV sites to yield a diamagnetic cluster. Unfortunately, this lack of net spin prevents the determination of the local spin state (Sloc) of each of the irons by most spectroscopic techniques. Here, we use Fe Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) to characterize the local spin states of the key intermediates of the sMMO catalytic cycle, including MMOHQ trapped by rapid-freeze-quench techniques. A pure XES spectrum of MMOHQ is obtained by subtraction of the contributions from other reaction cycle intermediates with the aid of Mössbauer quantification. Comparisons of the MMOHQ spectrum with those of known Sloc = 1 and Sloc = 2 FeIV sites in chemical and biological models reveal that MMOHQ possesses Sloc = 2 iron sites. This experimental determination of the local spin state will help guide future computational and mechanistic studies of sMMO catalysis.

Abstract
Metalloproteins with active sites containing di-Fe cores exhibit diverse chemical reactivity that is linked to the precise transfer of protons and electrons which directly involve the di-Fe units. The redox conversions are commonly corroborated by spectroscopic methods, but the associated structural changes are often difficult to assess, particularly those related to proton movements. This report describes the development of di-Fe complexes in which the movements of protons and electrons are pinpointed during the stepwise oxidation of a di-FeII species to one with an FeIIIFeIV core. Complex formation was promoted using the phosphinic amido tripodal ligand [poat]3- (N,N',N″-[nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)]tris(P,P-diphenylphosphinic amido)) that provided dynamic coordination spheres that assisted in regulating both electron and proton transfer processes. Oxidation of an [FeII-(μ-OH)-FeIII] complex led to the corresponding di-FeIII species containing a hydroxido bridge that was not stable at room temperature and converted to a species containing an oxido bridging ligand and protonation of one phosphinic amido group to form [Hpoat]2-. Deprotonation led to a new species with an [FeIII-(μ-O)-FeIII] core that could be further oxidized to its FeIIIFeIV analogue. Reactions with phenols suggest homolytic cleavage of the O-H bond to give products that are consistent with the initial formation of a phenoxyl radical─spectroscopic studies indicated that the electron is transferred to the FeIV center, and the proton is initially transferred to the more sterically hindered oxido ligand but then relocates to [poat]3-. These findings offer new mechanistic insights related to the stability of and the reactions performed by di-Fe enzymes.

Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria utilize methane monooxygenase (MMO) to carry out the first step in metabolizing methane. The soluble enzymes employ a hydroxylase component (sMMOH) with a nonheme diiron active site that activates O2 and generates a powerful oxidant capable of converting methane to methanol. It is proposed that the diiron(II) center in the reduced enzyme reacts with O2 to generate a diferric-peroxo intermediate called P that then undergoes O-O cleavage to convert into a diiron(IV) derivative called Q, which carries out methane hydroxylation. Most (but not all) of the spectroscopic data of Q accumulated by various groups to date favor the presence of an FeIV2(μ-O)2 unit with a diamond core. The Que lab has had a long-term interest in making synthetic analogs of iron enzyme intermediates. To this end, the first crystal structure of a complex with a FeIIIFeIV(μ-O)2 diamond core was reported in 1999, which exhibited an Fe⋯Fe distance of 2.683(1) Å. Now more than 20 years later, a complex with an FeIV2(μ-O)2 diamond core has been synthesized in sufficient purity to allow diffraction-quality crystals to be grown. Its crystal structure has been solved, revealing an Fe⋯Fe distance of 2.711(4) Å for comparison with structural data for related complexes with lower iron oxidation states.

Abstract
A bis(μ-oxo)diiron(IV,IV) complex as a model for intermediate Q in the methane monooxygenase reaction cycle has been prepared. The precursor complex with a [FeIIIFeIV(μ-O)2] core was fully characterized by X-ray crystallography and other spectroscopic analyses and was converted to the [FeIV2(μ-O)2] complex via electrochemical oxidation at 1000 mV (vs Ag/Ag+) in acetone at 193 K. The UV-vis spectral features, Mössbauer parameters (ΔEQ = 2.079 mm/s and δ = -0.027 mm/s), and EXAFS analysis (Fe-O/N = 1.73/1.96 Å and Fe···Fe = 2.76 Å) support the structure of the low-spin (S = 1, for each Fe) [FeIV2(μ-O)2] core. The rate constants of the hydrogen abstraction reaction from 9,10-dihydroanthracene at 243 K suggest the high reactivity of these synthetic bis(μ-oxo)diiron complexes supported by simple N4 tripodal ligand.

Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria utilize the nonheme diiron enzyme soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) to convert methane to methanol in the first step of their metabolic cycle under copper-limiting conditions. The structure of the sMMO Fe(IV)2 intermediate Q responsible for activating the inert C-H bond of methane (BDE = 104 kcal/mol) remains controversial, with recent studies suggesting both "open" and "closed" core geometries for its active site. In this study, we employ nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to probe the geometric and electronic structure of intermediate Q at cryogenic temperatures. These data demonstrate that Q decays rapidly during the NRVS experiment. Combining data from several years of measurements, we derive the NRVS vibrational features of intermediate Q as well as its cryoreduced decay product. A library of 90 open and closed core models of intermediate Q is generated using density functional theory to analyze the NRVS data of Q and its cryoreduced product as well as prior spectroscopic data on Q. Our analysis reveals that a subset of closed core models reproduce these newly acquired NRVS data as well as prior data. The reaction coordinate with methane is also evaluated using both closed and open core models of Q. These studies show that the potent reactivity of Q toward methane resides in the "spectator oxo" of its Fe(IV)2O2 core, in contrast to nonheme mononuclear Fe(IV)═O enzyme intermediates that H atoms abstract from weaker C-H bonds.

Abstract
High-valent multimetallic-oxo/oxyl species have been implicated as intermediates in oxidative catalysis involving proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, but the reactive nature of these oxo species has hindered the development of an in-depth understanding of their mechanisms and multimetallic character. The mechanism of C-H oxidation by previously reported RuCo3O4 cubane complexes bearing a terminal RuV-oxo ligand, with significant oxyl radical character, was investigated. The rate-determining step involves H atom abstraction (HAA) from an organic substrate to generate a Ru-OH species and a carbon-centered radical. Radical intermediates are subsequently trapped by another equivalent of the terminal oxo to afford isolable radical-trapped cubane complexes. Density functional theory (DFT) reveals a barrierless radical combination step that is more favorable than an oxygen-rebound mechanism by 12.3 kcal mol-1. This HAA reactivity to generate organic products is influenced by steric congestion and the C-H bond dissociation energy of the substrate. Tuning the electronic properties of the cubane (i.e., spin density localized on terminal oxo, basicity, and redox potential) by varying the donor ability of ligands at the Co sites modulates C-H activations by the RuV-oxo fragment and enables construction of structure-activity relationships. These results reveal a mechanistic pathway for C-H activation by high-valent metal-oxo species with oxyl radical character and provide insights into cooperative effects of multimetallic centers in tuning PCET reactivity.

Abstract
A handful of oxygen-activating enzymes has recently been found to contain Fe/Mn active sites, like Class 1c ribonucleotide reductases and R2-like ligand-binding oxidase, which are closely related to their better characterized diiron cousins. These enzymes are proposed to form high-valent intermediates with Fe-O-Mn cores. Herein, we report the first examples of synthetic Fe/Mn complexes that mimic doubly bridged intermediates proposed for enzymatic oxygen activation. Fe K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis has been used to characterize the structures of each of these compounds. Linear compounds accurately model the Fe···Mn distances found in Fe/Mn proteins in their resting states, and doubly bridged diamond core compounds accurately model the distances found in high-valent biological intermediates. Unlike their diiron analogues, the paramagnetic nature of Fe/Mn compounds can be analyzed by EPR, revealing S = 1/2 signals that reflect antiferromagnetic coupling between the high-spin Fe(III) and Mn(III) units of heterobimetallic centers. These compounds undergo electron transfer with various ferrocenes, linear compounds being capable of oxidizing diacetyl ferrocene, a weak reductant, and diamond core compounds being capable of oxidizing acetyl ferrocene. Diamond core compounds can also perform HAT reactions from substrates with X-H bonds with bond dissociation free energies (BDFEs) up to 75 kcal/mol and are capable of oxidizing TEMPO-H at rates of 0.32-0.37 M-1 s-1, which are comparable to those reported for some mononuclear FeIII-OH and MnIII-OH compounds. However, such reactivity is not observed for the corresponding diiron compounds, a difference that Nature may have taken advantage of in evolving enzymes with heterobimetallic active sites.

Abstract
A series of non-heme μ-oxo-bridged dinuclear iron(iii) complexes of the type [Fe2(μ-O)(L1–L6)2Cl2]Cl21–6 have been isolated and their catalytic activity towards oxidative transformation of alkanes into alcohols has been studied using m-choloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) as an oxidant. All the complexes were characterized by CHN, electrochemical, and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of 2 and 5 have been determined successfully by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and both possesses octahedral coordination geometry and each iron atom is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of the 4N ligand and a bridging oxygen. The sixth position of each octahedron is coordinated by a chloride ion. The (μ-oxo)diiron(iii) core is linear in 2 (Fe–O–Fe, 180.0°), whereas it is non-linear (Fe–O–Fe, 161°) in 5. All the diiron(iii) complexes show quasi-reversible one electron transfer in the cyclic voltammagram and catalyze the hydroxylation of alkanes like cyclohexane, adamantane with m-CPBA as an oxidant. In acetonitrile solution, adding excess m-CPBA to the diiron(iii) complex 2 without chloride ions leads to intramolecular hydroxylation reaction of the oxidant. Interestingly, 2 catalyzes alkane hydroxylation in the presence of chloride ions, but intramolecular hydroxylation in the absence of chloride ions. The observed selectivity for cyclohexane (A/K, 5–7) and adamantane (3°/2°, 9–18) suggests the involvement of high-valent iron–oxo species rather than freely diffusing radicals in the catalytic reaction. Moreover, 4 oxidizes (A/K, 7) cyclohexane very efficiently up to 513 TON while 5 oxidizes adamantane with good selectivity (3°/2°, 18) using m-CPBA as an oxidant. The electronic effects of ligand donors dictate the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic hydroxylation of alkanes. The ligand stereoelectronic effect of diiron(iii) complexes determines the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic alkane hydroxylation with m-CPBA as an oxidant.![]()

Abstract
The determination of the diiron core intermediate structures involved in the catalytic cycle of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO), the enzyme that selectively catalyzes the conversion of methane to methanol, has been a subject of intense interest within the bioinorganic scientific community. Particularly, the specific geometry and electronic structure of the intermediate that precedes methane binding, known as intermediate Q (or MMOHQ), has been debated for over 30 years. Some reported studies support a bis-μ-oxo-bridged Fe(IV)2O2 closed-core conformation Fe(IV)2O2 core, whereas others favor an open-core geometry, with a longer Fe-Fe distance. The lack of consensus calls for a thorough re-examination and reinterpretation of the spectroscopic data available on the MMOHQ intermediate. Herein, we report extensive simulations based on a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics approach (QM/MM) approach that takes into account the complete enzyme to explore possible conformations for intermediates MMOHox and MMOHQ of the sMMOH catalytic cycle. High-level quantum chemical approaches are used to correlate specific structural motifs with geometric parameters for comparison with crystallographic and EXAFS data, as well as with spectroscopic data from Mössbauer spectroscopy, Fe K-edge high-energy resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD XAS), and resonance Raman 16O-18O difference spectroscopy. The results provide strong support for an open-core-type configuration in MMOHQ, with the most likely topology involving mono-oxo-bridged Fe ions and alternate terminal Fe-oxo and Fe-hydroxo groups that interact via intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The implications of an open-core intermediate Q on the reaction mechanism of sMMO are discussed.

Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use methane monooxygenases (MMOs) to activate methane, oxidizing it to methanol. There are two types of MMOs: a particulate, membrane-bound enzyme (pMMO) and a soluble, cytoplasmic enzyme (sMMO). The two MMOs are completely unrelated, with different architectures, metal cofactors, and mechanisms. The more prevalent of the two, pMMO, is copper-dependent, but the identity of its copper active site remains unclear. By contrast, sMMO uses a diiron active site, the catalytic cycle of which is well understood. Here we review the current state of knowledge for both MMOs, with an emphasis on recent developments and emerging hypotheses. In addition, we discuss obstacles to developing expression systems, which are needed to address outstanding questions and to facilitate future protein engineering efforts.

Abstract
The high-valent diiron(IV) intermediate Q is the key oxidant that cleaves strong C-H bonds of methane in the catalytic cycle of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO). sMMO-Q was previously reported as a bis-μ-oxo FeIV2(μ-O)2 diamond core but was recently described to have an open core with a long Fe···Fe distance. We recently reported a high-valent CoIII,IV2(μ-O)2 diamond core complex (1) that is highly reactive with sp3 C-H bonds. In this work, we demonstrated that the C-H bond cleaving reactivity of 1 can be further enhanced by introducing a Lewis base X, affording faster kinetic rate constants and the ability to cleave stronger C-H bonds compared to 1. We proposed that 1 first reacts with X in a fast equilibrium to form an open core species X-CoIII-O-CoIV-O (1-X). We were able to characterize 1-X using EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. 1-X exhibited an S = 1/2 EPR signal distinct from that of the parent complex 1. DFT calculations showed that 1-X has an open core with the spin density heavily delocalized in the CoIV-O unit. Moreover, 1-X has a more favorable thermodynamic driving force and a smaller activation barrier than 1 to carry out C-H bond activation reactions. Notably, 1-X is at least 4 orders of magnitude more reactive than its diiron open core analogues. Our findings indicate that the diamond core isomerization is likely a practical enzymatic strategy to unmask the strong oxidizing power of sMMO-Q necessary to attack the highly inert C-H bonds of methane.

Abstract
The protonation state of the iron(IV) oxo (or ferryl) form of ascorbate peroxidase compound II (APX-II) is a subject of debate. It has been reported that this intermediate is best described as an iron(IV) hydroxide species. Neutron diffraction data obtained from putative APX-II crystals indicate a protonated oxygenic ligand at 1.88 Å from the heme iron. This finding, if correct, would be unprecedented. A basic iron(IV) oxo species has yet to be spectroscopically observed in a histidine-ligated heme enzyme. The importance of ferryl basicity lies in its connection to our fundamental understanding of C-H bond activation. Basic ferryl species have been proposed to facilitate the oxidation of inert C-H bonds, reactions that are unknown for histidine-ligated hemes enzymes. To provide further insight into the protonation status of APX-II, we examined the intermediate using a combination of Mössbauer and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. Our data indicate that APX-II is an iron(IV) oxo species with an Fe-O bond distance of 1.68 Å, a K-edge pre-edge absorption of 18 units, and Mössbauer parameters of ΔEq = 1.65 mm/s and δ = 0.03 mm/s.

Abstract
In nature, C-H bond oxidation of CH4 involves a peroxo intermediate that decays to the high-valent active species of either a "closed" {FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV} core or an "open" {FeIV(O)(μ-O)FeIV(O)} core. To mimic and to obtain more mechanistic insight in this reaction mode, we have investigated the reactivity of the bioinspired diiron complex [(susan){Fe(OH)(μ-O)Fe(OH)}]2+ [susan = 4,7-dimethyl-1,1,10,10-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane], which catalyzes CH3OH oxidation with H2O2 to HCHO and HCO2H. The kinetics is faster in the presence of a proton. 18O-labeling experiments show that the active species, generated by a decay of the initially formed peroxo intermediate [(susan){FeIII(μ-O)(μ-O2)FeIII}]2+, contains one reactive oxygen atom from the μ-oxo and another from the μ-peroxo bridge of its peroxo precursor. Considering an FeIVFeIV active species, a "closed" {FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV} core explains the observed labeling results, while a scrambling of the terminal and bridging oxo ligands is required to account for an "open" {FeIV(O)(μ-O)FeIV(O)} core.

Abstract
High-valent metal-oxo species have been characterised as key intermediates in both heme and non-heme enzymes that are found to perform efficient aliphatic hydroxylation, epoxidation, halogenation, and dehydrogenation reactions. Several biomimetic model complexes have been synthesised over the years to mimic both the structure and function of metalloenzymes. The diamond-core [Fe2(μ-O)2] is one of the celebrated models in this context as this has been proposed as the catalytically active species in soluble methane monooxygenase enzymes (sMMO), which perform the challenging chemical conversion of methane to methanol at ease. In this context, a report of open core [HO(L)FeIII-O-FeIV(O)(L)]2+ (1) gains attention as this activates C-H bonds a million-fold faster compared to the diamond-core structure and has the dual catalytic ability to perform hydroxylation as well as desaturation with organic substrates. In this study, we have employed density functional methods to probe the origin of the very high reactivity observed for this complex and also to shed light on how this complex performs efficient hydroxylation and desaturation of alkanes. By modelling fifteen possible spin-states for 1 that could potentially participate in the reaction mechanism, our calculations reveal a doublet ground state for 1 arising from antiferromagnetic coupling between the quartet FeIV centre and the sextet FeIII centre, which regulates the reactivity of this species. The unusual stabilisation of the high-spin ground state for FeIV[double bond, length as m-dash]O is due to the strong overlap of with the orbital, reducing the antibonding interactions via spin-cooperation. The electronic structure features computed for 1 are consistent with experiments offering confidence in the methodology chosen. Further, we have probed various mechanistic pathways for the C-H bond activation as well as -OH rebound/desaturation of alkanes. An extremely small barrier height computed for the first hydrogen atom abstraction by the terminal FeIV[double bond, length as m-dash]O unit was found to be responsible for the million-fold activation observed in the experiments. The barrier height computed for -OH rebound by the FeIII-OH unit is also smaller suggesting a facile hydroxylation of organic substrates by 1. A strong spin-cooperation between the two iron centres also reduces the barrier for second hydrogen atom abstraction, thus making the desaturation pathway competitive. Both the spin-state as well as spin-coupling between the two metal centres play a crucial role in dictating the reactivity for species 1. By exploring various mechanistic pathways, our study unveils the fact that the bridged μ-oxo group is a poor electrophile for both C-H activation as well for -OH rebound. As more and more evidence is gathered in recent years for the open core geometry of sMMO enzymes, the idea of enhancing the reactivity via an open-core motif has far-reaching consequences.

Abstract
Selective functionalization of C-H bonds provides a straightforward approach to a large variety of well-defined derivatives. High-valent mononuclear iron(IV)-oxo complexes are proposed to carry out these C-H activation reactions in enzymes or in biomimetic syntheses. In this Minireview, we aim to highlight the features that delineate the distinct reactivity of non-heme oxo-iron(IV) motifs to cleave strong C-H bonds in hydrocarbons, primarily focusing on the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process. We describe how the structural and electronic properties of supporting ligands modulate the oxidative property of the iron(IV)-oxo complexes. Furthermore, we highlight the decisive role played by spin-state in these biomimetic reactions. We also discuss how tunneling and external perturbations like electric field influence the transfer of hydrogen atoms. Lastly, we emphasize how computations could work as a practical guide to sketch and develop synthetic models with greater efficacy.

Abstract
Soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) carries out methane oxidation at 4 °C and under ambient pressure in a catalytic cycle involving the formation of a peroxodiiron(III) intermediate (P) from the oxygenation of the diiron(II) enzyme and its subsequent conversion to Q, the diiron(IV) oxidant that hydroxylates methane. Synthetic diiron(IV) complexes that can serve as models for Q are rare and have not been generated by a reaction sequence analogous to that of sMMO. In this work, we show that [FeII(Me3NTB)(CH3CN)](CF3SO3)2 (Me3NTB = tris((1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine) (1) reacts with O2 in the presence of base, generating a (μ-1,2-peroxo)diiron(III) adduct with a low O-O stretching frequency of 825 cm-1 and a short Fe···Fe distance of 3.07 Å. Even more interesting is the observation that the peroxodiiron(III) complex undergoes O-O bond cleavage upon treatment with the Lewis acid Sc3+ and transforms into a bis(μ-oxo)diiron(IV) complex, thus providing a synthetic precedent for the analogous conversion of P to Q in the catalytic cycle of sMMO.

Abstract
The selective activation of strong sp3 C-H bonds at mild conditions is a key step in many biological and synthetic transformations and an unsolved challenge for synthetic chemists. In nature, soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) is one representative example of nonheme dinuclear iron-dependent enzymes that activate strong sp3 C-H bonds by a high-valent diiron(IV) intermediate Q. To date, synthetic model complexes of sMMO-Q have shown limited abilities to oxidize strong C-H bonds. In this work, we generated a high-valent CoIII,IV2(μ-O)2 complex 3 supported by a tetradentate tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) ligand via one-electron oxidation of its CoIII2(μ-O)2 precursor 2. Characterization of 2 and 3 using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and DFT calculations showed that both species possess a diamond core structure with a short Co···Co distance of 2.78 Å. Furthermore, 3 is an EPR active species showing an S = 1/2 signal with clearly observable hyperfine splittings originated from the coupling of the 59Co nuclear spin with the electronic spin. Importantly, 3 is a highly reactive oxidant for sp3 C-H bonds, and an oxygenation reagent. 3 has the highest rate constant (1.5 M-1 s-1 at -60 °C) for oxidizing 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) compared to diamond core complexes of other first-row transition metals including Mn, Fe and Cu reported previously. Specifically, 3 is about 4-5 orders of magnitude more reactive than the diiron analogs FeIII,IV2(μ-O)2 and FeIV2(μ-O)2 supported by TPA and related ligands. These findings shed light on future development of more reactive approaches for C-H bond activation by bioinspired dicobalt complexes.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of [LFe3O(RArIm)3Fe][OTf]2, the first Hammett series of a site-differentiated cluster. The cluster reduction potentials and CO stretching frequencies shift as expected on the basis of the electronic properties of the ligand: electron-donating substituents result in more reducing clusters and weaker C-O bonds. However, unusual trends in the energetics of their two sequential CO binding events with the substituent σp parameters are observed. Specifically, introduction of electron-donating substituents suppresses the first CO binding event (ΔΔH by as much as 7.9 kcal mol-1) but enhances the second (ΔΔH by as much as 1.9 kcal mol-1). X-ray crystallography, including multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry, reveal that these substituent effects result from changes in the energetic penalty associated with electronic redistribution within the cluster, which occurs during the CO binding event.

Abstract
The [FeIV (O)(Me3 NTB)]2+ (Me3 NTB=tris[(1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl]amine) complex 1 has been shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy to have an S=1 ground state at 4 K, but is proposed to become an S=2 trigonal-bipyramidal species at higher temperatures based on a DFT model to rationalize its very high C-H bond-cleavage reactivity. In this work, 1 H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine that 1 does not have C3 -symmetry in solution and is not an S=2 species. Our results show that 1 is unique among nonheme FeIV =O complexes in retaining its S=1 spin state and high reactivity at 193 K, providing evidence that S=1 FeIV =O complexes can be as reactive as their S=2 counterparts. This result emphasizes the need to identify factors besides the ground spin state of the FeIV =O center to rationalize nonheme oxoiron(IV) reactivity.

Abstract
Tetranuclear Fe clusters have been synthesized bearing a terminal FeIII-oxo center stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions from pendant ( tert-butylamino)pyrazolate ligands. This motif was supported in multiple Fe oxidation states, ranging from [FeII2FeIII2] to [FeIII4]; two oxidation states were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of the FeIII-oxo center in proton-coupled electron transfer with X-H (X = C, O) bonds of various strengths was studied in conjunction with analysis of thermodynamic square schemes of the cluster oxidation states. These results demonstrate the important role of distal metal centers in modulating the reactivity of a terminal metal-oxo.

Abstract
Aerobic life is possible because the molecular structure of oxygen (O2) makes direct reaction with most organic materials at ambient temperatures an exceptionally slow process. Of course, these reactions are inherently very favorable, and they occur rapidly with the release of a great deal of energy at high temperature. Nature has been able to tap this sequestered reservoir of energy with great spatial and temporal selectivity at ambient temperatures through the evolution of oxidase and oxygenase enzymes. One mechanism used by these enzymes for O2 activation has been studied in detail for the soluble form of the enzyme methane monooxygenase. These studies have revealed the step-by-step process of O2 activation and insertion into the ultimately stable C-H bond of methane. Additionally, an elegant regulatory mechanism has been defined that enlists size selection and quantum tunneling to allow methane oxidation to occur specifically in the presence of more easily oxidized substrates.
