Abstract

Several dinuclear iron () complexes with µ-alkoxo bridges gave predominantly cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the reaction with cyclohexane and hydrogen peroxide, and similar results were observed when linear-alkanes, such as-nonane and-octane, were used instead of cyclohexane. A mechanism for selective formation of t
