The first structural models of the proposed <i>cis</i>-Fe<sup>III</sup>(OH)(halide) intermediate in the non-heme iron halogenases were synthesized and examined for their inherent reactivity with tertiary carbon radicals. Selective hydroxylation occurs for these <i>cis</i>-Fe<sup>III</sup>(OH)(X) (X = Cl, Br) complexes in a radical rebound-like process. In contrast, a <i>cis</i>-Fe<sup>III</sup>(Cl)<sub>2</sub> complex reacts with carbon radicals to give halogenation. These results are discussed ...[more]
