The first spectroscopic evidence for complexes containing iron formally in the IV and V oxidation states in the presence of a simple ligand, i.e., OH/sup -/ and P/sub 2/O/sub 7//sup 4 -/ in alkaline solution is reported. These transient species are obtained by pulse radiolysis of alkaline ferric (Fe(III)) and ferrate (Fe(VI)) solutions by using the hydroxyl radical or its conjugate base, O/sup -/, and the aquated electron, e/sub aq//sup -/, as the respective oxidizing and reducing agents. 18 references, 1 figure.
