A series of transient interconvertible protonated and deprotonated mononuclear Fe(III) peroxo species are derived from the pH dependent reaction of dihydrogen peroxide with mononuclear iron(II) or iron(III) complexes of general formulation [Fe(Rtpen)X](A)n, n = 1,2; X = Cl,Br; Rtpen = N-alkyl-N,N′,N′-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, alkyl = R = CH3CH2, CH3CH2CH2, HOCH2CH2, (CH3)2CH, C6H5, and C6H5CH2; A = ClO4, PF6. The low-spin iron(III) hydroperoxide complex ions [Fe(Rtpen)(η1-OOH)]2+ are purple chromophores and the high-spin iron(III) peroxide complexes, [Fe(Rtpen)(η2-OO)]+ are blue chromophores. The spectroscopic observation (ESR, UV-vis, ESI MS) of a low-spin iron(III) precursor species [Fe(Rtpen)(η1-OCH3)]2+ and kinetic studies show that formation of [Fe(Rtpen)(η1-OOH)]2+ from iron(II) solution species is a two step process. The first step, the oxidation of the iron(II) complex to [Fe(Rtpen)(OCH3)]2+, is faster than the subsequent ligand substitution during which [Fe(Rtpen)(eta;1-OOH)]2+ is formed. The kinetic data are consistent with an interchange associative mechanism for the ligand substitution, and a role for the proton bound to the uncoordinated hydroperoxide oxygen atom is suggested. The stability of [Fe(Rtpen)(η1-OOH)]2+ R = HOCH2CH2, is significantly lower than for the peroxide complexes generated from the other alkyl substituted ligands (t1/2 ca. 10 min vs. several hours). Tandem MS/MS experiments with the [Fe(Rtpen)(η1-OOH)]2+ ions show fragmentation via O-O cleavage to give the novel ferryl species [Fe(Rtpen)(O)]2+. By contrast the [Fe(Rtpen)(η2-OO)]+ ions are stable under the same gas phase conditions. This indicates a weaker O-O bond in the Fe(III) hydroperoxide complex ions, and that [FeIIIOOH]2+ rather than [FeIIIOO]+ species are the precursors to, at least, the ferryl FeIV=O species. Crystal structures of four starting iron(II) compounds, [Fe(Rtpen)Cl]PF6, R = HOCH2CH2, CH3CH2CH2, C6H5CH2, and [Fe(bztpen)Br]PF6 show the iron atoms in distorted octahedral geometries with pentadentate Rtpen coordination with the halide ion as the sixth ligand. The structure of [Fe(etOHtpen)Cl]PF6 shows an intermolecular H-bonding interaction between the dangling hydroxyethyl group and the chloride of a neighbouring molecule with O-H...Cl, 3.219(2) A.
