1.1. Background Copper proteins that bind and/or activate dioxygen perform a variety of
critical biological functions. 1-3 These include O2 transport (hemocyanin, Hc), 4 aromatic …

An unprecedentedly reactive iron species (2) has been generated by reaction of excess
peracetic acid with a mononuclear iron complex [FeII (CF3SO3) 2 (PyNMe3)](1) at cryogenic …

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

The considerable recent advances in copper–dioxygen coordination chemistry demonstrate
the existence of a variety of dioxygen-derived Cu nO 2 complexes, forming a basis for …

A model for the key intermediate in copper oxygenase reactions, the Cu (ii)–OOH complex,
was prepared with the novel tripodal pyridylamine ligand, bis (6‐pivalamide‐2 …

Catalytic oxidation reactions are pivotal transformations in living creatures and chemical
industries, in which metal-oxygen intermediates, including high-valent metal-oxo species …
