As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply
of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species …

A longstanding research goal has been to understand the nature and role of copper–oxygen
intermediates within copper-containing enzymes and abiological catalysts. Synthetic …

The introduction of oxygen into biochemical processes has brought about an evolutionary
leap in the history of life, whereby many organisms have evolved to use oxygen as part of …

Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be
addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal‐mediated …

It is proposed that spin-crossing effects can dramatically affect reaction mechanisms, rate
constants, branching ratios, and temperature behaviors of organometallic transformations …

The phenyl cation is known to have two low-energy minima, corresponding to 1 A 1 and 3 B
1 states, the first of which is more stable by ca. 25 kcal/mol. The minimum energy crossing …

Gas‐phase experiments with state‐of‐the‐art techniques of mass spectrometry provide
detailed insights into numerous elementary processes. The focus of this Review is on …

Abstract Hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT), as one of the fundamental reactions in chemistry, is
investigated with state‐of‐the‐art gas‐phase experiments in conjunction with computational …

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

High-oxidation-state 3d metal species have found a wide range of applications in modern
