X-ray spectroscopy is an important tool for scientific analysis. While the earliest
demonstration experiments were realised in the laboratory, with the advent of synchrotron …

Mononuclear metal–oxygen species, such as metal-superoxo,-peroxo,-hydroperoxo and-
oxo complexes, are key intermediates involved in dioxygen activation and oxidation …

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) are advanced
x-ray spectroscopies that impact a wide range of disciplines. However, unlike the majority of …

Catalytic oxidation reactions are pivotal transformations in living creatures and chemical
industries, in which metal-oxygen intermediates, including high-valent metal-oxo species …

Targeting selective hydroxylation under mild conditions of saturated hydrocarbons has
become a challenging and exciting scientific area that has drawn larger attention in recent …

The oxidation of the C–H and C═ C bonds of hydrocarbons with H2O2 catalyzed by non-
heme iron complexes with pentadentate ligands is widely accepted as involving a reactive …

Hotly debated these days is whether nickel or iron is the active site in nickel–iron water
oxidation electrocatalysts. We have previously argued that iron is a likely candidate for …

Dioxygen activation at nickel complexes is much less studied than for the biologically more
relevant iron or copper systems but promises new reactivity patterns because of the distinct …

This article describes a detailed comparison of the organometallic chemistry of high-valent
nickel and palladium model complexes supported by tris (pyrazolyl) borate and …

The past few decades have witnessed a complete renaissance in the field of Ni (IV)
catalysis. The properties of Ni (IV) complexes, such as, it undergoes rapid reductive …
