Biomimetic intradiol-cleavage of catechols with incorporation of both atoms of O-2: The role of the vacant coordination site on the iron center
This is the first example of model system for the active site of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase to display intradiol-cleavage of catechols with incorporation of two oxygen atoms of O-2 promoted by iron complexes.
