Ironing it out : Oxoiron(IV) porphyrin π‐cation radical complexes (see figure) serve as models for the oxidation of Cl − into an active chlorinating reagent that chlorinates various organic compounds. Evidence suggests that Cl − is oxidized to Cl 2 via Cl . . The mechanism involving either direct electron transfer or iron(III) hypochlorite formation, and then homolysis of the ClO bond is discussed.
