Electronic structure considerations dictate the stability and/or reactivity of both mononuclear and polynuclear complexes. We have developed weak-field ligand platforms to enable (1) iron-based reagents to catalyze C-H bond functionalization, and (2) unveil small-molecule activation at polynuclear reaction sites.  </p>
