摘要

Surface high-valent iron-oxo species (≡FeIV=O) are reliable and green oxygen atom transfer reagents, but the ability is seriously inhibited by the maximal orbital overlap of axial Fe = O double bond in a symmetric planar coordination environment. Herein, we report the synthesis of planar asymmetric surface FeIV = O (PA-≡FeIV = O) on pyrite using chlorite as the oxidant, where the in-situ generated ClO2 can transform a planar Fe-S bond to Fe-Cl by oxidizing and subsequently substituting planar sulfur atoms. Different from planar symmetric surface FeIV = O (PS-≡FeIV = O) with electron localization around axial Fe = O, PA-≡FeIV = O delocalizes electrons among Fe, axial oxo moiety and its planar ligands owing to the stronger electron-withdrawing capacity of Cl, which effectively weakens the orbital overlap of axial Fe = O bonding and thus facilitates the rapid electron transfer from the substrates to the unoccupied antibonding orbital of PA-≡FeIV = O, realizing more efficient oxygen atom transfer oxidation of methane, methyl phenyl sulfide, triphenylphosphonate and styrene than PS-≡FeIV = O. This study offers a facile approach for the synthesis of planar asymmetric surface FeIV = O, and also underscores the importance of planar coordination environment of high-valent metal-oxo species in the oxygen atom transfer reactions.
