Abstract
It's in the bond: The cleavage of C H bonds by two related oxoiron(IV) complexes shows a range of kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values that exhibit an unusual dependence on the C H bond strength. Large nonclassical KIEs are observed for bond strengths below 93 kcal mol-1, while semiclassical values are found above this value (see graph, DHA=9,10- dihydroanthracene). This nonintuitive behavior can be rationalized by invoking a two-state reactivity model.
