oxoiron
Oxoiron refers to chemical compounds containing an iron atom bonded to an oxygen atom, where the oxygen is considered to be a ligand. This is a broad category and can encompass various species depending on the oxidation state of the iron and the overall structure of the complex.
These oxoiron species are important in inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. In biological systems, oxoiron centers are
In synthetic chemistry, oxoiron complexes are studied for their catalytic properties and their relevance to understanding
