Molecular oxygen is without doubt the greenest oxidant for redox reactions, yet aerobic
oxidation is one of the most challenging to perform with good chemoselectivity, particularly …

Conspectus Aerobic organisms involve dioxygen-activating iron enzymes to perform various
metabolically relevant chemical transformations. Among these enzymes, mononuclear non …

Protein kinase (PKA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are clinically relevant enzymes for a
number of diseases. In this work, we developed a new simple electrochemical biosensor for …

We present a copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of β, γ-unsaturated hydrazones, utilizing
molecular oxygen as a stoichiometric oxidant. The methodology provides distinct classes of …

Tris (2-pyridyl) borates are an emerging class of scorpionate ligands, distinguished as
exceptionally robust and electron-donating. However, the rapid formation of inert homoleptic …

The synthesis of four new FeII (N4S (thiolate)) complexes as models of the thiol
dioxygenases are described. They are composed of derivatives of the neutral, tridentate …

Molecular cavities that mimic natural metalloenzymes have shown the potential to trap
elusive reaction intermediates. Here, we demonstrate the formation of a rare yet stable Fe …

Three new nickel (II)-flavonolate complexes of the type [Ni (L)(fla)](ClO4) 1–3, where L is the
tripodal 4N ligand tris (pyrid-2-ylmethyl) amine (tpa, L1) or (pyrid-2-ylmethyl) bis (6 …

In metal‐mediated O2 activation, nickel (II) compounds hardly play a role, but recently it has
been shown that enzymes can use nickel (II) for O2 activation. Now a low‐coordinate Lewis …

Although a wide variety of boron-based “scorpionate” ligands have been implemented, a
modular route that offers facile access to different substitution patterns at boron has yet to be …
