    Oxidation of alkane and alkene moieties with biologically inspired nonheme iron catalysts and hydrogen peroxide: from free radicals to stereoselective transformations

    The selective oxidation of hydrocarbons is a challenging reaction for synthetic chemists, but common in nature. Iron oxygenases activate the O–O bond of dioxygen to perform oxidation of alkane and alkenes moie...

    Discussion of an open problem

    Quantum mechanics rears its head in many places and one of them is inorganic chemistry, where the electronic spin associated with unpaired electrons has a profound influence. This was the topic of the 2012 CEC...

    Observation of Fe(V)=O using variable-temperature mass spectrometry and its enzyme-like C–H and C=C oxidation reactions

    Oxo-transfer chemistry mediated by iron underpins many biological processes and today is emerging as synthetically very important for the catalytic oxidation of C–H and C=C moieties that are hard to activate c...

    4-Nitrocatechol as a probe of a Mn(II)-dependent extradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenase (MndD): comparison with relevant Fe(II) and Mn(II) model complexes

    Mn(II)-dependent 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate 2,3-dioxygenase (MndD) is an extradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenase from Arthrobacter globiformis that has 82% sequence identity to and cleaves the same substrate (3,...

    A nonheme iron(II) complex that models the redox cycle of lipoxygenase

    The air-stable complex [Fe(6-Me3-TPA)(O2CAr)]+ [1; 6-Me3-TPA=tris(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] has been synthesized as a model for the iron(II) site of lipoxygenase. This iron(II) complex reacts with 0.5 equi...
