Abstract:
A stopped-flow study has shown that tetrakis(pentafluoro-phenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride reacts rapidly (<3 ms) with hydrogen peroxide to form a Fe(III)-H(2)O(2) complex where log K = 2.39. This subsequently undergoes rapid intramolecular conversion (k = 4.4 s(-1)) to an iron(IV) intermediate, which in turn reacts with hydrogen peroxide (k' = 54.3 M(-1) s(-1)) to reform the original Fe(III)-H(2)O(2) complex.
