Fascinating inorganic/bioinorganic reaction mechanisms

This review presents recent examples of mechanistic studies performed in our group on the activation of NO and peroxides by Fe(III) complexes, from which fascinating reaction mechanisms in the area of inorganic/bioinorganic chemistry evolved. The mechanistic insight gained is based on information obtained from the application of low-temperature rapid-scan techniques, as well as from the application of high pressure thermodynamic and kinetic measurements through which reaction volume profiles could be constructed.
