Selective functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds, water oxidation, and dioxygen
reduction are extremely important reactions in the context of finding energy carriers and …

The rational design of well-defined, first-row transition metal complexes that can activate
dioxygen has been a challenging goal for the synthetic inorganic chemist. The activation of …

The air-free reaction between FeCl2 and H4dobdc (dobdc4–= 2, 5-dioxido-1, 4-
benzenedicarboxylate) in a mixture of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol affords …

Highly efficient air electrodes are a key component of reversible fuel cells for energy storage
and conversion; however, the development of efficient electrodes that are stable against …

Nickel has been found in some metalloproteins that execute catalytic aerobic oxygenation
reactions in which nickel–dioxygen species are proposed as the key catalytic species. Thus …

Water splitting toward hydrogen production is a promising way for energy storage. The
catalytic role of the metal hydroxides formed by the decomposition of molecular catalysts …

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

Oxygen-containing mononuclear iron species—iron (iii)–peroxo, iron (iii)–hydroperoxo and
iron (iv)–oxo—are key intermediates in the catalytic activation of dioxygen by iron-containing …

Strategies that enable the renewable production of storable fuels (ie hydrogen or
hydrocarbons) through electrocatalysis continue to generate interest in the scientific …

Selective hydroxylation of benzene to phenol has been achieved using H2O2 in the
