Our work on oxygen activation by some calcium complexes is featured on JACS cover.
Reaction of a Ca-TEMPO complex with O2 led to a unique calcium hydroperoxide and a heterometallic Ca/K peroxide. Combining experimental observations with computational investigations, a mechanistic rationalization was proposed for the reaction outcomes. The designed approach reveals a new versatile platform for O2 activation and advances the understanding of Ca/ROS systems.
