A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

Rice researchers develop a way to enable pi interactions between dioxygen and a lanthanide metal called neodymium, enabling ...

Activation of dioxygen (O 2) has attracted enormous attention due to its potential for utilization of methane and applications in other selective oxidation reactions. We (Edyta Tabor, Jiri Dedecek, ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that ...

It has been widely accepted that the intra- and intermolecular forces that arise from the presence of water molecules are essential for protein structure and function. For example, numerous examples ...

Development of artificial systems, capable of delivering electrons to metal-based catalysts for the reductive activation of dioxygen, has been proven very difficult for decades, constituting a major ...

Dioxygen difluoride sounds rather harmless: just two of what you breathe and two of what's in your toothpaste. It even has an adorable, cushy nickname: FOOF. But most sane chemists know dioxygen ...

The aim of the book “Oxygen atom transfer reactions” is to outline some recent developments in the studies of oxygen atom transfer mechanisms in catalytic oxidation reactions based on several ...
