Abstract

High-valent iron(IV)–oxo complexes are of great significance as reactive intermediates implicated in diverse chemical and biological systems. The aqueous iron(IV)–oxo complex (FeaqIVO2+) is the simplest but one of the most powerful ferryl ion species, which possesses a high-spin state, high reduction potential, and long lifetime. It has been well documented that FeaqIVO2+ reacts with organic compounds through various pathways (hydrogen-atom, hydride, oxygen-atom, and electron transfer as well as electrophilic addition) at moderate reaction rates and show selective reactivity toward inorganic ions prevailing in natural water, which single out FeaqIVO2+ as a superior candidate for oxidative water treatment. This…
