title: Substituent effects on the catalytic activity of bipyrrolidine-based iron complexes.
abstract: The catalytic activity and the selectivity of the new bipyrrolidine-based Fe(II) complexes 2·Fe(OTf)2 and 3·Fe(OTf)2 in the oxidation of a series of alkyl and alkenyl hydrocarbons as well as of an aromatic sulfide with H2O2 were tested and compared with the catalytic efficiency of White's parent complex 1·Fe(OTf)2 in order to evaluate the sensitivity of the reaction to electronic effects.
