Our calculations reveal that the Fe IV NTs is found to be a stronger oxidant in two electron transfer reactions and react exclusively  via  π channels while the Fe IV O species is found to be a stronger oxidant when the σ-pathway is activated such as in HAT reactions. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2017/cc/c6cc08761b#!divAbstract

Small-molecule synthetic analogs are useful platforms to generate L/Cu/O 2  species that reproduce the structural, spectroscopic, and reactive properties of some copper-/O 2 -dependent enzymes. La

These second sphere modifications furnish highly active catalysts for the oxidant-free dehydrogenative oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylates and facilitate catalyst recycling. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2017/cc/c6cc10206a
