The complex [Fe(indH)(solvent) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ( 1 ) has been isolated from the reaction of equimolar amounts of 1,3‐bis(2′‐pyridylimino)isoindoline (indH) and Fe(ClO 4 ) 2 in acetonitrile and characterized by X‐ray crystallography and several spectroscopic techniques. It is a suitable catalyst for the oxidation of thioanisoles and benzyl alcohols with H 2 O 2 as the oxidant. Hammett correlations and kinetic isotope effect experiments support the involvement of an electrophilic metal‐based oxidant. A metastable green species ( 2 ) is observed when 1 is reacted with H 2 O 2 at –40 °C and has a Fe III (μ‐O)(μ‐O 2 )Fe III core on the basis of UV/Vis, electron paramagnetic resonance, resonance Raman, and X‐ray absorption spectroscopic data.
