title: Observation of a ferric hydroperoxide complex during the non-heme iron catalysed oxidation of alkenes and alkanes by O2.
abstract: A non-heme iron complex catalyses the oxidation of allylic, benzylic, and aliphatic C-H bonds by O(2). During this reactivity, a ferric hydroperoxide species is observed. The kinetic analysis of this complex's formation may suggest a ferric superoxo species as the initial metal-based oxidant.
