A nonheme iron(III) terminal methoxide complex, [Fe III (N3PyO 2Ph )(OCH 3 )]ClO 4 , was synthesized. Reaction of this complex with the triphenylmethyl radical (Ph 3 C • ) leads to formation of Ph 3 COCH 3 and the one-electron-reduced iron(II) center, as seen by UV–vis, EPR, 1 H NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. These results indicate that homolytic Fe–O bond cleavage occurs together with C–O bond formation, providing a direct observation of the “radical rebound” process proposed for both biological and synthetic nonheme iron centers. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jacs.7b12707 Thomas M.
