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.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
