Comparative oxidative abilities of nonheme FeIVNTs and FeIVO species using DFT has been explored. Our calculations reveal that the FeIVNTs is found to be a stronger oxidant in two electron transfer reactions and react exclusively via π channels while the FeIVO species is found to be a stronger oxidant when the σ-pathway is activated such as in HAT reactions.
