The oxidation of aryl 1-methyl-1-phenylethyl sulfides promoted by the nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes [(N4Py)FeIVO]2+ and [(Bn-TPEN)FeIVO]2+ occurs by an electron transfer-oxygen rebound (ET-OT) mechanism leading to aryl 1-methyl-1-phenylethyl sulfoxides accompanied by products derived from Cα-S fragmentation of sulfide radical cations (2-phenyl-2-propanol and diaryl disulfides). For the first time, the rate constants for the oxygen rebound process (kOT), which are in the range of
