All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water
oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that …

The reduction and oxidation (redox) of transition metals allow storing charge/energy in Li-ion
batteries and electrochemical capacitors and play an important role in catalysis of …

A series of bimetallic complexes pairing zero-valent nickel with group 13 M (III) ions is
reported. Stronger Ni→ M (III) dative bonds that render Ni more electron-deficient are seen …

Bimetallic catalysts of nickel (0) with a trivalent rare-earth ion or Ga (III), NiML3 (where L is
[iPr2PCH2NPh]−, and M is Sc, Y, La, Lu, or Ga), were investigated for the selective …

Redox inactive Lewis acidic cations are thought to facilitate the reactivity of metalloenzymes
and their synthetic analogues by tuning the redox potential and electronic structure of the …

Synthetic model compounds have been targeted to benchmark and better understand the
electronic structure, geometry, spectroscopy, and reactivity of the oxygen-evolving complex …

The synthesis and characterization of the Schiff base complexes Fe (II)(2M) and Fe (III) Cl
(3M), where M is a K+ or Ba2+ ion incorporated into the ligand, are reported. The Fe (III/II) …

High-valent nonheme FeIV–oxido species are key intermediates in biological oxidation, and
their properties are proposed to be influenced by the unique microenvironments present in …

Sequential reactions of heptadentate phosphinoamine LH3 with rare-earth metal tris-alkyl
precursor (Me3SiCH2) 3Ln (THF) 2 (Ln= Sc, Lu, Yb, Y, Gd) and a low-valent cobalt complex …

Metal oxo species (M═ O) play key roles as oxidants in chemical and biological systems.
Although Brønsted acids have long been known to enhance the oxidizing power of metal …
