The oxidation catalyst [(L)Fe IV O] (see picture; L is a tetradentate bispidine ligand) has the highest known one‐electron reduction potential for a Fe IV O species (0.73 V vs. SCE). Investigations into the electron‐transfer kinetics show a linear correlation with the bond dissociation energy of the organic substrates.
