Graphical Abstract

UV/Vis, resonance Raman, and EPR spectroscopy served in characterizing the alkylperoxoiron(III) complex 2, an intermediate in the oxidation of alcohols R'OH with alkyl hydroperoxides ROOH catalyzed by μ-oxo complex 1. The results discussed may provide insight for studies of monooxygenases.
