Copper is one of the most abundant and less toxic transition metals. Nature takes advantage
of the bioavailability and rich redox chemistry of Cu to carry out oxygenase and oxidase …

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

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

There are many examples in bioinorganic chemistry, where metalloenzymes produce
different reaction products than analogous biomimetic model complexes despite them …

Mononuclear metal–oxygen species, such as metal-superoxo,-peroxo,-hydroperoxo and-
