We demonstrate the ability of mononuclear, high spin (S=2), Fe(II) sites, situated in the nodes of MIL-100(Fe) to convert propane via dehydrogenation, hydroxylation, and overoxidation pathways utilizing an atomic oxidant. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, N2 isotherms, X-ray diffraction, and infra-red (IR) and Raman spectroscopy confirm the single-phase crystallinity and stability of MIL-100(Fe) over reaction conditions (523K in vacuo, 378-408 K C3H8+N2O). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the reaction occurs via a radical rebound mechanism involving the oxidation of Fe(II) species to Fe(III) via a high spin, Fe(IV)=O intermediate, which is supported by X-ray adsorption and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The identity of the Fe(II) active site is confirmed and quantified using in-situ chemical titrations. N2 and C3H6 production rates were calculated to both be first order in N2O pressure and zero order in C3H8 pressure, concurring with DFT cluster calculations that predict the reaction of Fe(II) with N2O to be rate-limiting.
