Single-turnover intermolecular reaction between a FeIII–superoxide–CuI cytochrome c oxidase model and exogeneous Tyr244 mimics

James P. Collman, Richard A. Decréau and Christopher J. Sunderland


An FeIII–superoxide–CuI cytochrome c oxidase model reacts intermolecularly with hindered phenols leading to phenoxyl radicals, as was observed in the enzyme and evidence for the formation of an FeIV–oxo is presented.
