<p>Dissecting the barrier: The nuclear resonance vibrational spectrum of the S=2 [(TMG3tren)FeIV=O] complex revealed features indicative of an axial “steric wall” that contributes to the overall reaction barrier. DFT calculations show that both S=2 (axial attack) and S=1 (equatorial attack) surfaces possess steric contributions to their barriers, and estimates of these steric effects result in comparable intrinsic barriers for both spin surfaces (see picture).</p>
