Description: High spin has been shown to be necessary for optimal reactivity of transition metal complexes toward the activation and functionalization of C-H bonds. This thesis presents our examination of the weak-field, tripodal, trianionic tris(pyrrolyl)ethane (tpe) ligand and its complexes.
Notes: Keywords: iron, oxidation, pyrrole, redox, redox-active ligands, tris(pyrrolyl)ethane.
