An efficient catalyst of the title complex (abbreviated as FePz (dtn) 4) is a porphyrin-like complex, which is able to activate molecular oxygen for oxidative degradation of organic compounds in an extensive pH region without light excitation. The experiments indicated that the FePz (dtn) 4/O 2 system showed an excellent oxygenation capability, in which the Rhodamine B (RhB) was degraded nearly 52% in alkaline aqueous solution in the seven ...
