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

Conspectus Biological systems capitalize on the redox versatility of manganese to perform
reactions involving dioxygen and its derivatives superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and water …

Despite decades of effort, no earth-abundant homogeneous catalysts have been discovered
that can selectively oxidize methane to methanol. We exploit active learning to …

Quintet oxoiron (IV) intermediates are often invoked in nonheme iron enzymes capable of
performing selective oxidation, while most well-characterized synthetic model oxoiron (IV) …

The challenge of activating inert C–H bonds motivates a study of catalysts that draws from
what can be accomplished by natural enzymes and translates these advantageous features …

Non-heme iron based halogenase enzymes promote selective halogenation of the sp3-C–H
bond through iron (IV)-oxo-halide active species. During halogenation, competitive …

Aziridination has very recently been found to be catalyzed by heme and nonheme Fe
enzymes, opening the way to biotechnological developments. However, its mechanism is …

Oxoiron (IV) units are often implicated as intermediates in the catalytic cycles of non‐heme
iron oxygenases and oxidases. The most reactive synthetic analogues of these …
