Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), a key step in many chemical, environmental, and biological
processes, is one of the fundamental chemical reactions: A− H+ B→ A+ H− B. Traditional …

In the last years ruthenium tetroxide is increasingly being used in organic synthesis. Thanks
to the fine tuning of the reaction conditions, including pH control of the medium and the use …

Bimolecular rate constants have been measured for reactions that involve hydrogen atom
transfer (HAT) from hydroxylamines to nitroxyl radicals, using the stable radicals TEMPO•(2 …

Nonheme iron dioxygenases are efficient enzymes with relevance for human health that
regio-and stereospecifically transfer an oxygen atom to substrates. How they perform this …

Ruthenium bis (β-diketonato) complexes have been prepared at both the RuII and RuIII
oxidation levels and with protonated and deprotonated pyridine− imidazole ligands. RuII …

Recent reports of 1, 2-addition of C− H bonds across Ru− X (X= amido, hydroxo) bonds of
TpRu (PMe3) X fragments {Tp= hydridotris (pyrazolyl) borate} suggest opportunities for the …

Distinctive mechanistic pathways account for the remarkable selectivity of a molecularly
designed and robust manganese catalyst, Mn (Me2EBC) Cl2, whose activated form has …

In the presence of an excess of pyridine ligand L, osmium tetroxide oxidizes tertiary silanes
(Et3SiH, i Pr3SiH, Ph3SiH, or PhMe2SiH) to the corresponding silanols. With L= 4-tert …

The reaction of RuII (acac) 2 (py-imH)(Ru II imH) with TEMPO•(2, 2, 6, 6-
