An excellent catalyst for selective CH oxidations with H 2 O 2 is the complex [Fe(bpmen)(CH 3 CN) 2 ][ClO 4 ] 2 ( 1 ). Until now, no intermediates have been observed in these reactions and the exact mechanism remained unclear. In their Full Paper on page 13995 ff. , E. V. Rybak‐Akimova and O. V. Makhlynets identified and experimentally characterized Fe III (OOH) and Fe IV O intermediates formed by 1 and H 2 O 2 . Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies revealed that Fe III (OOH) produces the reactive oxidant in the rate‐limiting, acid‐assisted heterolytic cleavage of the OO bond.
