Rapid-freeze quench (RFQ) samples were also generated for EPR and M\u00f6ssbauer spectroscopy. A transient species is observed in the UV\/visible spectrum with an absorption maximum at 500 nm. EPR and M\u00f6ssbauer spectra of RFQ samples identified this species as a diiron(III,IV) cluster spin-coupled to a neutral W radical. A diamagnetic precursor to the mixed-valent diiron(III,IV) was also observed at an earlier time point, with M\u00f6ssbauer parameters typical of high-spin FeIII. We have tentatively assigned this antiferromagnetically coupled diiron(III) intermediate as a peroxo-bridged cluster, and this complex has also been observed in preliminary studies of the wild-type hydroxylase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1021\/ja062762l Authors: Leslie J.
