Activation of MnIIMnIII-Peroxides with Relevance to the Catalytic Cycle of Ib RNRs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2023)The understanding of the catalytic cycle of Ib ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) has been hindered by the inability to trap the species formed following reaction of superoxide (O2-) and the MnII2 active site. This unknown ... -
Bioinspired Water Oxidation Using a Mn-Oxo Cluster Stabilized by Non-Innocent Organic Tyrosine Y161 and Plastoquinone Mimics
(2020)The complexity and energy demand of the H2O oxidation half-reaction represents the bottleneck for the development of sustainable, environmentally friendly H2 economies using H2O as energy feedstock. In Nature, photosynthetic ... -
Tuning the Catalytic Water Oxidation Activity through Structural Modifications of High-Nuclearity Mn-oxo Clusters [Mn18M] (M = Sr2+, Mn2+)
(2021)The water oxidation half-reaction is considered the bottleneck in the development of technological advances to replace fossil fuels with sustainable and economically affordable energy sources. In natural photosynthesis, ...
