High‐spin iron(III) iodosylarene complexes bearing an N‐methylated cyclam ligand are synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic methods. The nonheme high‐spin iron(III) iodosylarene intermediates are highly reactive oxidants capable of activating strong CH bonds of alkanes; the reactivity of the iron(III) iodosylarene intermediates is much greater than that of the corresponding iron(IV) oxo complex. The electrophilic character of the iron(III) iodosylarene complexes is demonstrated in sulfoxidation reactions.
