Redox and acid–base properties of asymmetric non-heme (hydr)oxo-bridged diiron complexes
[(FeL)2(μ-OH)]+, [(FeL)2(μ-O)] and [(FeLNO2)2(μ-OH)]+, were synthesized and characterized. Electrochemical and chemical reduction of [(FeL)2(μ-OH)]BPh4 revealed disproportionation followed by proton transfer, and [(FeL)2(μ-O)] was formed upon exposure to oxygen.
