Single-turnover intermolecular reaction between a Feiii–superoxide–Cui cytochrome c oxidase model and exogeneous Tyr244 mimics†
Abstract
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.
