We present here selected examples of the catalytic activity of N-bridged diiron phthalocyanine (FePc)2N and porphyrin (FePor)2N complexes in the oxidation of methane [2,3], benzene [5] and alkylaromatic compounds as well as in C-C bond formation [7] and dehalogenation reactions [4]. Elusive high-valent diiron oxo species responsible for the remarkable catalytic properties have been prepared at low temperatures and characterized by cryospray MS, UV-vis, EPR, Mössbauer, EXAFS and XANES techniques [2,6]. Mechanistic aspects of unusual reactivity of diiron macrocyclic complexes will be discussed.
