How Axial Coordination Regulates the Electronic Structure and C-H Amination Reactivity of Fe-Porphyrin-Nitrene?

ABSTRACT: Detailed electronic structure and its correlation with the intramolecular C-H amination reactivity of Fe-porphyrin-nitrene intermediates bearing different "axial" coordination have been investigated using multiconfigurational complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF), N-electron valence perturbation theory (NEVPT2), and hybrid density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP) calculations. Three types of "axial" coordination, -OMe/-O(H)Me (1-Sul/2-Sul), -SMe/-S(H)Me (3-Sul/4-Sul), and -NMeIm (MeIm = 3-methyl-imidazole) (5-Sul) mimicking serine, cysteine, and histidine, respectively, along with no axial coordination (6-Sul) have been considered to decipher how the "axial" coordination of different strengths regulates the electronic integrity of the Fe-N cor
