A new pentadentate nitrogen ligand facilitates the synthesis of a low‐spin iron( II ) complex, which reacts with H 2 O 2 at low temperature to form the transient purple complex 1 . Complex 1 was formulated as an Fe III OOH complex, the first synthetic example of such a species to be characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Furthermore, 1 oxidizes cyclohexane efficiently, thus supporting the notion that an Fe III OOH moiety can participate in oxygen activation mechanisms of nonheme iron enzymes.
