O2 activation by nonheme iron complexes: A monomeric Fe(III)-Oxo complex derived from O2.

Abstract: Iron species with terminal oxo ligands are implicated as key intermediates in several synthetic and biochemical catalytic cycles. However, there is a dearth of structural information regarding these types of complexes because their instability has precluded isolation under ambient conditions. The isolation and structural characterization of an iron(III) complex with a terminal oxo ligand, derived directly from dioxygen (O2), is reported. A stable structure resulted from placing the oxoiron unit within a synthetic cavity lined with hydrogen-bonding groups. The cavity creates a microenvironment around the iron center that aids in regulating O2 activation and stabilizing the oxoiron unit. These cavities share properties with the active sites of metalloproteins, where function is correlated strongly with site structure.

Evidence-Based Practices and Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders:

Abstract: The past several years have been Witness to a variety of education reform and reorganization efforts, including for students With disabilities. Prominent among these restructuring efforts have been initiatives that require educators to adopt practices that are supported by research. NoteWorthy examples of this trend include the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and other calls for use of effective practice methods by educators and others Who are connected With students With disabilities. Although this is a daunting challenge for any group of students, the process of identifying and consistently and correctly using effective practice methods has been especially demanding for professionals Who Work With children and youth With autism spectrum disorders. This article discusses issues and factors that relate to identifying and using effective practices With students With autism-related disorders. Recommended effective practice methods are also provided.
