Oxygen, which supports all aerobic life, is produced by photosynthetic water oxidation in
plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The water-oxidation reaction probably first appeared in …

Molecular magnetism has travelled a long way from the pioneering studies on electron
exchange and double exchange or spin crossover and valence tautomerism in small …

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

Sulfur‐containing molecules such as thioethers are commonly found in chemical biology,

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a well-documented component of living cells. It plays
important roles in host defense and oxidative biosynthetic reactions. In addition there is …

The importance of metals in biology, the environment and medicine has become
increasingly evident over the last twenty five years. The study of the multiple roles of metal …

A tetramanganese cluster (Mn4) resides at the active site of photosystem II (PSII) in green
plants and in certain bacteria and algae. It catalyzes the light-driven water oxidation reaction …

In the last two decades, considerable efforts were invested in the search for synthetic iron
and manganese catalysts with nonporphyrinic ligands, mimicking metalloenzymes in the …
