Vanadium is special in at least two respects: on the one hand, the tetrahedral anion
vanadate (v) is similar to the phosphate anion; vanadate can thus interact with various …

The understanding of the role of vanadium enzymes and of vanadium compounds (VCs) in
biology, as well as the design of new vanadium-based species for catalysis, materials …

V2O5 nanowires exhibit an intrinsic catalytic activity towards classical peroxidase substrates
such as 2, 2‐azino‐bis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid)(ABTS) and 3, 3, 5, 5 …

The enhancement of the reactivity of peroxides, particularly hydrogen peroxide and
alkylhydroperoxides, in the presence of vanadium catalysis is a very well known process …

Vanadium haloperoxidases (VHPOs) are unique enzymes in biology that catalyze a
challenging halogen transfer reaction and convert a strong aromatic C–H bond into C–X (X …

Vanadium is the 21st most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the 2nd-to-most
abundant transition metal in sea water. The element is ubiquitous also in freshwater and …

In the environment, vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases (VHPO) are likely to play a key
role in the production of biogenic organohalogens. These enzymes contain vanadate as a …

The oxidation of alkenes by H2O2 catalyzed by Ti (IV)-containing polyoxometalates (POMs)
as models of Ti single-site catalysts has been investigated at DFT level and has been …

Organohalide is one of the most important and useful compounds in organic chemistry,
broadly embodied in diverse bioactive molecules, organic materials and agrochemicals …

We discuss a spectroscopic method to determine the character of chemical bonding and for
the identification of metal ligands in coordination and bioinorganic chemistry. It is based on …
