摘要: N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are commonly featured as ligands in transition metal catalysis. Recently, a cyclic system containing four NHC groups with central iron atom was synthesized and its iron(IV)-oxo species, [FeIV (O)(cNHC4 )]2+ , characterized. This tetracyclic ligand may give the species unique catalytic properties compared to traditional non-heme heme systems. Therefore, we performed computational study on structure reactivity of complex substrate hydroxylation epoxidation reactions. The patterns cytochrome P450 Compound I models it is shown that an effective oxidant oxidative power analogous Compound I. Unfortunately, polar solvents, solvent molecule will bind sixth position decrease activity oxidant. A molecular orbital valence bond analysis provides insight into origin differences makes predictions how further exploit these systems chemical
