We evaluated a strategy for achieving complete reduction of perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)) in the presence of much higher concentrations of sulfate (SO(4)(2-)) and nitrate (NO(3)(-)) in a hydrogen-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). Full ClO(4)(-) reduction was achieved by using a two-stage

Catalytic four-electron reduction of O2 by ferrocene (Fc) and 1,1'-dimethylferrocene (Me2Fc) occurs efficiently with a dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(II)2(XYLO)(OH)](2+) (1), where XYLO is a m-xylene-linked bis[(2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl)amine] dinucleating ligand with copper-bridging phenolate moiety], in the presence of perchloric acid (HClO4) in
