Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Sep 28:(36):4529-31. doi: 10.1039/b505562h. Epub 2005 Aug 10.

Abstract

A mononuclear nonheme ferric-peroxo complex bearing a macrocyclic tetradentate N4 ligand, [(TMC)Fe(III)-O2]+, was prepared and used in mechanistic studies of aldehyde deformylation; a catalytic aldehyde deformylation by a nonheme iron(II) complex, [Fe(II)(TMC)]2+, and molecular oxygen is reported as well.
