title: Enhanced selectivity in non-heme iron catalysed oxidation of alkanes with peracids: evidence for involvement of Fe(IV)=O species.
abstract: Catalytic alkane oxidation with high selectivity using peracids and an (N4Py)Fe complex is presented and the role of [(N4Py)Fe(IV)=O]2+ species, molecular oxygen and hydroxyl radicals in the catalysis is discussed.
