摘要: μ-Nitrido-bridged diiron porphyrins and phthalocyanines are known to be efficient oxidants that able oxidize some of the strongest C–H bonds in nature, such as one methane. The origin their catalytic efficiency is poorly understood, order gain insight into structural electronic features this chemical system, we performed a detailed systematic study properties reactivities using density functional theory. Our work shows μ-nitrido-bridged highly active oxidants, which react with methane very low reaction barriers rate-determining hydrogen-atom-abstraction step. Furthermore, porphyrin phthalocyanine complexes free energy activation more than 10 kcal mol–1 lower found for cytochrome P450 Compound I, most hydroxylating agents Nature. We have analyzed ...
