Abstract

Herein, we report a new tripodal tris-benzimidazole ligand (Tbim) that structurally mimics the 3-His coordination environment of certain nonheme mononuclear iron oxygenases. The coordination chemistry of Tbim was explored with iron(II) revealing a diverse set of coordination modes. The aerobic oxidation of biomimetic model substrate diethyl-2-phenylmalonate was studied using the Tbim−Fe and Fe(OTf)₂.
