Small Molecule Activation by Organo-iron Complexes
Résumé
This chapter describes the main advances in the field of small molecule activation with organo-iron complexes. It focuses on four reactivities that have experienced the greatest growth in recent years, N2 activation and reduction, H2 production and oxidation and O2 activation for oxidation reactions. A brief description of the structural and spectroscopic properties of the complexes of interest will be provided, followed by their potential reactivity under stoichiometric and catalytic conditions.
