Second‐Sphere Aromatic Substitutions That Tune H‐Atom Transfer Reactivity Observed for a Series of S = 1 Nonheme Fe IV =O Complexes: An Enthalpy‐Entropy Compensation Effect

ABSTRACT Synthetic nonheme Fe IV ═O complexes reported thus far often have S = 1 ground states, demonstrating markedly lower oxidative reactivity in C─H bond breakage compared to their S = 2 counterparts. Recently, we have identified that incorporating cycloalkyl groups into the...

Second-Sphere Protonation Imparts a Biologically Relevant Potential Shift in a Chlorophyll Model Compound

Abstract Electrostatic protein-pigment interactions have been implicated in tuning the electron transfer chemistry of chlorophylls in vivo; however, these effects are difficult to probe directly, leading to a dearth of experimental data that limits our understanding. Herein, we r...
