Picky ferryl : The complex [Fe(Tp Ph 2)(BF)] (Tp Ph 2=hydrotris(3,5‐diphenylpyrazolyl)borate; BF=benzoylformate) reacts with O 2 to generate an oxidant (see picture; O red, pink; Fe yellow; N blue; C gray; H white) that oxidizes added hydrocarbons shape‐selectively. Discrimination derives from a cleft formed by two phenyl groups of the Tp Ph 2ligand, favoring oblate spheroidal substrates.
