Thermodynamically extremely stable alkylperoxo-iron(III) complexes have been prepared for the first time from reaction of the ternary iron(III) complex with a tripodal pyridylamine ligand with alkylperoxide in MeCN. These complexes have been characterized on the basis of the electronic absorption, ESR, resonance Raman, and ESI mass spectra and cyclic voltammetry.
