Duality of iron as an essential cofactor of many enzymatic metabolic processes and as a
catalyst of poorly controlled redox-cycling reactions defines its possible biological beneficial …

High-valent iron-oxo intermediates have often been implicated, and in some cases
identified, as the active oxidant in oxygen activating nonheme iron enzymes. Recent …

Alkanes constitute the cheapest and most abundant feedstock for organic chemicals.
However, the redistribution of CsC and CsH bonds in hydrocarbons into more sophisticated …

Dipyrromethene ligand scaffolds were synthesized bearing large aryl (2, 4, 6-Ph3C6H2,
abbreviated Ar) or alkyl (t Bu, adamantyl) flanking groups to afford three new disubstituted …

High-oxidation-state 3d metal species have found a wide range of applications in modern
synthetic chemistry and materials science. They are also implicated as key reactive species …

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

Reactivity principles based on orbital overlap and bonding/antibonding interactions are well
established to describe the reactivity of organic species, and atomic structures are typically …

Proton-coupled electron transfers (PCETs) are unconventional redox processes in which
both protons and electrons are exchanged, often in a concerted elementary step. While …

Density functional theory is used to explore the mechanisms of alkane hydroxylation for four
synthetic non-heme iron (IV)− oxo complexes with three target substrates (Kaizer, J.; Klinker …

The hexavalent state, considered to be the highest oxidation level accessible for iron, has
previously been found only in the tetrahedral ferrate dianion, FeO42–. We report the …
