The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

Superoxide, O2•−, is formed in all living organisms that come in contact with air, and,
depending upon its biological context, it may act as a signaling agent, a toxic species, or a …

Lysine dioxygenase (KDO) is an important enzyme in human physiology involved in
bioprocesses that trigger collagen cross-linking and blood pressure control. There are …

Direct C–H bond functionalization catalyzed by non-precious transition metals is an
attractive strategy in synthetic chemistry. Compared with the precious metals rhodium …

Recognizing Nature's unique ability to perform challenging oxygenation reactions with
exquisite selectivity parameters at iron-dependent oxygenases, chemists have long sought …

Since our initial report in 1976, the oxygen rebound mechanism has become the consensus
mechanistic feature for an expanding variety of enzymatic C–H functionalization reactions …

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

The rational design of well-defined, first-row transition metal complexes that can activate
dioxygen has been a challenging goal for the synthetic inorganic chemist. The activation of …

High-valent iron-oxo intermediates have often been implicated, and in some cases
identified, as the active oxidant in oxygen activating nonheme iron enzymes. Recent …

Advanced oxidation processes based on transition metals (TMs) have been extensively
applied to eliminate organic contaminants from water bodies. In addition to the long …
