The development of catalysts for the selective oxidation of readily available hydrocarbons or organic precursors into oxygenated products is a long-standing goal in organic synthesis. In the last decade, some iron coordination complexes have shown the potential to fit this role. These catalysts can mimic the O−O activation mode of far more sophisticated iron oxygenase enzymes, generating powerful yet selective oxidants. In this review, we report state-of-the-art C−H and C=C oxidations catalyzed by non-heme iron complexes and H2O2 as the oxidant. Finally, we briefly describe some novel oxidative reactivity and the perspectives of this chemistry
