Abstract

FeV(O)(OH) species have long been thought to play a role in a range of enzymatic oxidations, but their characterization has remained elusive. Here, using gas-phase ion spectroscopy, the authors characterize an FeV(O)(OH) species and find that its reactivity mimics that of Rieske oxygenases.
