Determining the Inherent Selectivity for Carbon Radical Hydroxylation versus Halogenation with FeIII(OH)(X) Complexes

David Goldberg | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020 

The Goldberg Group shows the first structural evidence of a nonheme FeIII(OH)(Cl) complex, relevant to the intermediate of nonheme halogenases. They also investigated the hydroxylation versus halogenation reactivity of this complex with tertiary carbon radicals.
