Cytochrome P450 enzymes are responsible for the phase I metabolism of approximately 75% of known pharmaceuticals. P450s perform this and other important biological functions through the controlled activation of C-H bonds. Here, we report the spectroscopic and kinetic characterization of

Transition metal-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon multiple bonds has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis. High-valent oxometals, mostly of Ru, Os, Mn, Mo, W, and Re, were used catalytically as reactive oxygen transfer agents to the multiple bonds.
