Catalytic properties of the ferryl ion in the solid state: a computational review

Abstract

The Fe(IV)O (ferryl) moiety plays a crucial role in a variety of biological processes involved in the production and storage of chemical energy, including aerobic respiration and catabolism. Its catalytic...

Entropic influence on the generation of Fe(iv)O species at mononuclear Fe(ii) sites in metal–organic frameworks

“…The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in heterogeneous catalytic processes for the oxidation of saturated substrates has been emerging in recent years as an alternative to more traditional chemical routes based on solution chemistry. 1 MOFs are porous materials composed of molecular blocks, which offer the possibility of adding chemically active ligands or metallic centers. The addition of these species makes it possible to tailor catalytic sites for application in fine chemistry and, potentially, industrial processes.…”
