Radical reactivity is a powerful tool for molecular construction that often provides bond-
forming strategies and retrosynthetic disconnections complementary to those available …

The development of selective catalytic oxidation systems for alkene cis-dihydroxylation
under environmentally benign conditions is an important goal that has long been pursued in …

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 …

The applicability of the Evans–Polanyi (EP) relationship to HAT reactions from C (sp3)–H
bonds to the cumyloxyl radical (CumO•) has been investigated. A consistent set of rate …

The plant non-heme iron dioxygenase flavonol synthase performs a regioselective
desaturation reaction as part of the biosynthesis of the signaling molecule flavonol that …

Bioinspired manganese complexes have emerged as attractive catalysts for a number of
selective oxidation reactions over the past several decades. In the present study, we report …

Lysine dioxygenase (KDO) is an important enzyme in human physiology involved in
bioprocesses that trigger collagen cross-linking and blood pressure control. There are …

The development of semiconductors capable of photocatalytic activity under visible light is
very important, because such materials are potentially useful for performing photocatalytic …

The mechanism of catalytic C–H functionalization of alkanes by Fe-oxo complexes is often
suggested to involve a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) step with the formation of a radical-pair …

Protons play essential roles in natural systems in controlling O–O bond cleavage of
peroxoiron (III) species to give rise to the high-valent iron oxidants that carry out the desired …
