The fabrication of biomimetic catalysts as substituents for enzymes is of critical interest in the
field due to the problems associated with the extraction, purification, and storage of enzymes …

X‐ray spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools to access structure and properties of
matter in different states of aggregation as it allows to trace atomic and molecular energy …

The review discusses how the electronic structure of heme explains its central importance to
oxygen-based life on Earth. Emphasis is on the chemical bonding of heme, its spin …

Metal–ligand delocalization of metal porphyrin complexes in aqueous solutions was
investigated by analyzing the electronic structure of both the metal and ligand sides using …

The Frenkel exciton model was adapted to describe X-ray absorption and resonant inelastic
scattering spectra of polynuclear transition metal complexes by means of the restricted …

Hemin is a protoporphyrin complex of ferric iron ions that acts as a catalyst for hydrogen
peroxide degradation through catalase and peroxidase enzymes. However, poor water …

We report on the electronic structure of cobalt (II) tris-2, 2′-bipyridine and cobalt (III) tris-2,
2′-bipyridine in aqueous solution using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) …

The electronic structure of the [Co (CN) 6] 3− complex dissolved in water is studied using X-
ray spectroscopy techniques. By combining electron and photon detection methods from the …

We combine Mn L 2, 3-edge X-ray absorption, high resolution Mn 2p–3d–2p resonant X-ray
emission, and configuration–interaction full-multiplet (CIFM) calculation to analyze the …

The local electronic structure of the metal-active site and the deexcitation pathways of
metalloporphyrins are crucial for numerous applications but difficult to access by commonly …
