High-valent iron porphyrin models for the active intermediate in the cytochrome P-450 cycle have been generated and used as catalysts for the selective epoxidation of alkenes and hydroxylation of alkanes. This work describes the electrocatalytic hydroxylation of cyclohexane with the difluoroiron (III) 2,6-difluorotetraphenylporphyrin anionic complex, ((F8-TPP)FeF{sub 2}{sup {minus}}). Magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopic measurements have been used to elucidate the electronic structure of the product formed following oxidation of (F8-TPP)FeF{sub 2}{sup {minus}} by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in the presence of excess fluoride ion.
