The oxidation of ethylbenzene and other alkylaromatics by dioxygen catalysed by iron(III) tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin and related iron porphyrins

TL;DR: In this article, a free radical autoxidation mechanism was proposed for the degradation of the porphyrin ligand with 1-phenylethoxyl, acetophenone, and 1-phylperoxyl radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Insights into the Visible-Light-Induced DNA Cleavage Activity of Dipyridoquinoxaline Complexes of Bivalent 3d-Metal Ions

TL;DR: The theoretical data predict that the photoredox pathway is favorable for the 3d7-CoII and 3d9-CuII complexes to exhibit DNA cleavage activity, while the analogous 3d6-FeII and3d8-NiII complexes are energetically unfavorable for the exhibition of such activity under visible light.

Catalytic activity of nitro- and carboxy-substituted iron porphyrins in hydrocarbon oxidation: Homogeneous solution and supported systems

TL;DR: A series of iron(III)porphyrins containing NO2-substituents in the meso-ortho-phenyl or COOH substituent in the FeP rings (FeP) have been used to catalyse hydrocarbon oxidation by iodosylbenzene as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalytic asymmetric sulfoxidation by chiral manganese complexes: acetylacetonate anions as chirality switches.

TL;DR: An interesting "chirality switch" effect by the achiral acac anion reversing the enantioselectivity of the complex [Mn(1)(ClO(4))(2)] from the S to the R sulfoxide enantiomer is observed.
