Selective functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds, water oxidation, and dioxygen
reduction are extremely important reactions in the context of finding energy carriers and …

The rational design of well-defined, first-row transition metal complexes that can activate
dioxygen has been a challenging goal for the synthetic inorganic chemist. The activation of …

The combination of Co (II) and peracetic acid (PAA) is a promising advanced oxidation
process for the abatement of refractory organic contaminants, and acetylperoxy (CH 3 CO …

There are mechanistic dichotomies with regard to the formation, electronic structures and
reaction mechanisms of metal–oxygen intermediates, since these metal–oxygen species …

Oxygen-containing mononuclear iron species—iron (iii)–peroxo, iron (iii)–hydroperoxo and
iron (iv)–oxo—are key intermediates in the catalytic activation of dioxygen by iron-containing …

Abstract Terminal cobalt (IV)–oxo (CoIV–O) species have been implicated as key
intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidation reactions. Herein we report the …

The photocatalytic water oxidation to evolve O2 was performed by photoirradiation (λ> 420
nm) of an aqueous solution containing [Ru (bpy) 3] 2+(bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine), Na2S2O8 …

We report the macrocyclic ring size–electronic structure–electrophilic reactivity correlation of
mononuclear nonheme iron (III)-peroxo complexes bearing N-tetramethylated cyclam …

Metalloenzymes activate dioxygen to carry out a variety of biological reactions, including the
biotransformation of naturally occurring molecules, oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics, and …

Metalloenzymes utilize inexpensive and earth-abundant transition metal ions as important
co-factors to enable binding of a dioxygen molecule so that it can be used in various …
