The cleavage of alkenes to the corresponding carbonyl products is a widely employed
method in organic synthesis, especially to introduce oxygen functionalities into molecules …

Mononuclear, non-heme-Fe (II) centers are key structures in O2 metabolism and catalyze an
impressive variety of enzymatic reactions. While most are bound via two histidines and a …

A mild and operationally simple iron-catalyzed protocol for the selective aerobic oxidation of
aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds is described. Catalyzed by a Fe (III) species bearing …

Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a vital enzyme for human health involved in the
biodegradation of toxic cysteine and thereby regulation of the cysteine concentration in the …

Curcuminoids have been reported to possess multifunctional bioactivities, especially the
ability to inhibit proinflammatory induction. Since it has been suggested that the seven …

We report here an accurate surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) approach to propane
oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) using a μ2-oxo-bridged, bimetallic [V2O4 (acac) …

A facial triad of two histidine side chains and one aspartate or glutamate side chain forms
the canonical metal‐coordinating motif in the catalytic centers of various mononuclear non …

It's no sacrifice: A bio‐inspired iron system, in which a β‐keto ester serves as a sacrificial
cosubstrate, readily epoxidizes olefins under ambient conditions with air. Aromatic olefins …

Conspectus Mononuclear, O2-activating nonheme iron enzymes are a fascinating class of
metalloproteines, capable of realizing the most different reactions, ranging from C–H …

Over the past decade, several metalloenzymes have been characterized which catalyze
dioxygenase-type aliphatic carbon–carbon bond cleavage reactions. The substrates for …
