abstract = {Inspired by nature, biomimetic iron complexes can be used
to act as catalysts in selective oxidation reactions. In
this process, high-valent oxo species of the iron complexes
are passed through. Besides the ligand design for such iron
complexes, the structure of the precursor complexes and the
coordination chemical behaviour in solution are key to the
high-valent iron-oxo species and to investigate their
catalytic activity. In this work, tri- and tetradentate
ligands with N- and O-donors were synthesised and
investigated. For a bis(pyrazolyl)ethanol ligand, a
bisfacial coordination of iron with a {N3}-coordination of
the ligand was found. The investigated tetradentate ligands
(MeC(Py)2Phen, MeC(Py)2PicMe and NQu3) with {N4}- or
{N3O}-donor set always leave two cis-positioned coordination
sites for labile co-ligands in an octahedral coordination
environment. These are particularly important for catalytic
oxidation reactions with high-valent iron-oxo intermediates.
For all three tetradentate ligands, a [Fe(IV)L=O]2+ species
could be detected by mass spectrometry. UV/Vis spectroscopic
investigations also show typical iron-oxo bands. For
complexes with the ligand MeC(Py)2Phen, the catalytic C-H
bond oxidation could also be successfully investigated. The
structure of the corresponding precursor complexes was
investigated in the solid state and in solution. The main
focus was on the co-ligand competition of triflate and
acetonitrile. While different species were observed in the
solid state, all results in solution suggest that
acetonitrile is coordinating when used as a solvent.
Furthermore, spin crossover behaviour in solution was
observed for complexes with ligands MeC(Py)2PicMe and NQu3
in acetonitrile. A large number of potential precursor
complexes with (weakly) coordinating anions could be
structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray
diffraction. Selected substances were also investigated with
magnetometry or Mößbauer spectroscopy. UV/Vis
spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, magnetometry or Mößbauer
spectroscopy were used for coordination chemical
investigations in solution. The low-spin complex
[Fe(MeC(Py)2Phen)(MeCN)2](OTf)2 was investigated for
short-lived excited states by femtosecond X-ray emission
spectroscopy and compared with the photophysical properties
of a bisfacial iron(II) complex of a
bis(pyrazolyl)pyridinylmethane ligand. Both show similar
photophysical behaviour to that of the well-studied iron(II)
bipyridinyl complex.},
