Stereoselective Postassembly CH Oxidation of Self-Assembled Metal–Ligand Cage Complexes

Stereoselective Postassembly CH Oxidation of Self-Assembled Metal–Ligand Cage Complexes
Yana Lyon, Richard J. Hooley, Ryan R. Julian, Lauren R. Holloway, Paul M. Bogie
Self-assembled Fe-iminopyridine cage complexes can be selectively oxidized at the ligand backbone with organic hydroperoxides, with no competitive oxidation observed at the metal centers. The self-assembled cage structure controls the reaction outcome, exploiting self-complementary hydrogen bonding and geometrical constraints to direct the postassembly reactions to outcomes not observed in free solution.
