Published in 2023 at "Inorganic chemistry"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.2c04020

Abstract: Nonheme iron(III)-superoxo intermediates are generated in the activation of dioxygen (O2) by nonheme iron(II) complexes and then converted to iron(IV)-oxo species by reacting with hydrogen donor substrates with relatively weak C-H bonds. If singlet oxygen… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Journal of the American Chemical Society"

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c01375

Abstract: Nonheme iron halogenases are unique enzymes in nature that selectively activate an aliphatic C–H bond of a substrate to convert it into C–X (X = Cl/Br, but not F/I). It is proposed that they generate… read more here.
