Abstract

Read online

High-valent iron compounds do not form spontaneously under ambient conditions and those that are synthetically available are rarely stable. Here, the authors synthesize stable iron(IV) hexahydrazide clathrochelate complexes in aqueous media via a metal-templated reaction accompanied by aerobic oxidation.
