Book excerpt: Chemical oxidation by [FeCp2]PF6 afforded thermally unstable, paramagnetic Rh IV compounds, [Rh{ArNC(NR 2)NAr} 3]PF6, which were characterized by mass spectrometry and electronic absorption spectroscopy. Furthermore, two FeII complexes of tetradentate tripodal ligands, [Fe(L1)(OTf) 2] and [Fe(L2)(OTf) 2]; where L1 = N, N-bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl) amine and L2 = N, N-bis[(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl]-N-[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl] amine; were synthesized and characterized. The 1 H NMR spectra for [Fe(L1)(NCMe) 2](OTf) 2 and [Fe(L2)(NCMe) 2](OTf) 2 in CD3 CN solution at ambient temperature exhibit paramagnetically shifted peaks typical of high-spin FeII complexes, while variable-temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopy showed that the Fe center in [Fe(L1)(NCMe) 2](OTf) 2 is in a spin equilibrium and that in [Fe(L2)(NCMe) 2](OTf) 2 in the high-spin state (at 25° C). Highly reactive oxoiron(IV) complexes were obtained by reaction of the FeII complexes with an excess of m-CPBA at -40° C.
