Abstract
Picky ferryl: The complex [Fe(Tp)(BF)] (Tp=hydrotris(3,5‐diphenylpyrazolyl)borate; BF=benzoylformate) reacts with O2 to generate an oxidant (see picture; O red, pink; Fe yellow; N blue; C gray; H white) that oxidizes added hydrocarbons shape‐selectively. Discrimination derives from a cleft formed by two phenyl groups of the Tp ligand, favoring oblate spheroidal substrates.Keywords
