Inorganic Chemistry 48(6): 2361-2363.0020-1669http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:32116866In this Communication, we report an intramolecular C-H bond amination reaction of a dipyrromethene ferrous complex with organic azides. Monitoring of the spectral changes (variable temperature NMR and UV-vis) of the FeII complex reveals no buildup of an intermediate during conversion of the starting material into the nitrene-inserted product. The rate-determining step appears to be azide addition to the 14-electron FeII complex, hinting at the potential that these and related platforms may have to effect atom and group-transfer processes.en-USJournal Article10.1021/ic900219b
