Abstract
CH functionalization, a promising frontier in modern organic chemistry, facilitates the direct conversion of inert CH bonds into many valuable functional groups. Despite its merits, traditional homogeneous catalysis, often faces challenges in efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability towards this transformation. In this context, artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs), resulting from the incorporation of a catalytically-competent metal cofactor within an evolvable protein scaffold, bridges the gap between the efficiency of enzymatic transformations and the versatility of transition metal catalysis. Accordingly, ArMs have emerged as attractive tools for various challenging catalytic transformations. Additionally, the coming of age of directed evolution has unlocked unprecedented avenues for optimizing enzymatic catalysis. Taking advantage of their genetically-encoded protein scaffold, ArMs have been evolved to catalyze various CH functionalization reactions. This review delves into the recent developments of ArM-catalyzed CH functionalization reactions, highlighting the benefits of engineering the second coordination sphere around a metal cofactor within a host protein.

Abstract
Fe-TAML/peroxide catalysis provides simple, powerful, ultradilute approaches for removing micropollutants from water. The typically rate-determining interactions of H2O2 with Fe-TAMLs (rate constant kI) are sharply pH-sensitive with rate maxima in the pH 9-10 window. Fe-TAML design or process design that shifts the maximum rates to the pH 6-8 window of most wastewaters would make micropollutant eliminations even more powerful. Here, we show how the different pH dependencies of the interactions of Fe-TAMLs with peroxide or hypochlorite to form active Fe-TAMLs (kI step) illuminate why moving from H2O2 (pKa, ca. 11.6) to hypochlorite (pKa, 7.5) shifts the pH of the fastest catalysis to as low as 8.2. At pH 7, hypochlorite catalysis is 100-1000 times faster than H2O2 catalysis. The pH of maximum catalytic activity is also moderated by the pKa's of the Fe-TAML axial water ligands, 8.8, 9.3, and 10.3, respectively, for [Fe{4-NO2C6H3-1,2-(NCOCMe2NSO2)2CHMe}(H2O)n]- (2) [n = 1-2], [Fe{4-NO2C6H3-1,2-(NCOCMe2NCO)2CF2}(H2O)n]- (1b), and [Fe{C6H4-1,2-(NCOCMe2NCO)2CMe2}(H2O)n]- (1a). The new bis(sulfonamido)-bis(carbonamido)-ligated 2 exhibits the lowest pKa and delivers the largest hypochlorite over peroxide catalytic rate advantage. The fast Fe-TAML/hypochlorite catalysis is accompanied by slow noncatalytic oxidations of Orange II.

Abstract
At ambient temperatures, neutral pH and ultralow concentrations (low nM), the bis(sulfonamido)bis(amido) oxidation catalyst [Fe{4-NO2C6H3-1,2-(NCOCMe2NSO2)2CHMe}(OH2)]- (1) has been shown to catalyze the addition of an oxygen atom to microcystin-LR. This persistent bacterial toxin can contaminate surface waters and render drinking water sources unusable when nutrient concentrations favor cyanobacterial blooms. In mechanistic studies of this oxidation, while the pH was controlled with phosphate buffers, it became apparent that iron ejection from 1 becomes increasingly problematic with increasing [phosphate] (0.3-1.0 M); 1 is not noticeably impacted at low concentrations (0.01 M). At pH < 6.5 and [phosphate] ≥ 1.0 M, 1 decays quickly, losing iron from the macrocycle. Iron ejection is surprisingly mechanistically complex; the pseudo-first-order rate constant kobs has an unusual dependence on the total phosphate concentration ([Pt]), kobs = k1[Pt] + k2[Pt]2, indicating two parallel pathways that are first and second order in [phosphate], respectively. The pH profiles in the 5.5-8.3 range for k1 and k2 are different: bell-shaped with a maximum of around pH 7 for k1 and sigmoidal for k2 with higher values at lower pH. Mechanistic proposals for the k1 and k2 pathways are detailed based on both the kinetic data and density functional theory analysis. The major difference between k1 and k2 is the involvement of different phosphate species, i.e., HPO42- (k1) and H2PO4- (k2); HPO42- is less acidic but more nucleophilic, which favors intramolecular rate-limiting Fe-N bond cleavage. Instead, H2PO4- acts intermolecularly, where the kinetics suggest that [H4P2O8]2- drives degradation.

Abstract
High-valent iron-imido complexes can perform C-H activation and sulfimidation reactions, but are far less studied than the more ubiquitous iron-oxo species. As case studies, we have looked at a recently published iron(V)-imido ligand π-cation radical complex, which is formally an iron(VI)-imido complex [FeV (NTs)(TAML+. )] (1; NTs=tosylimido), and an iron(V)-imido complex [FeV (NTs)(TAML)]- (2). Using a theoretical approach, we found that they have multiple energetically close-lying electromers, sometimes even without changing spin states, reminiscent of the so-called Compound I in Cytochrome P450. When studying their reactivity theoretically, it is indeed found that their electronic structures may change to perform efficient oxidations, emulating the multi-spin state reactivity in FeIV O systems. This is actually in contrast to the known [FeV (O)(TAML)]- species (3), where the reactions occur only on the ground spin state. We also looked into the whole reaction pathway for the C-H bond activation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene by these intermediates to reproduce the experimentally observed products, including steps that usually attract no interest (neither theoretically nor experimentally) due to their non-rate-limiting status and fast reactivity. A new "clustering non-rebound mechanism" is presented for this C-H activation reaction.

Abstract
The environmental problem stemming from toxic and recalcitrant naphthenic acids (NAs) present in effluents from the oil industry is well characterized. However, despite the numerous technologies evaluated for their destruction, their up-scaling potential remains low due to high implementation and running costs. Catalysts can help cutting costs by achieving more efficient reactions with shorter operating times and lower reagent requirements. Therefore, we have performed a laboratory investigation to assess iron-TAML (tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand) activators to catalyze the oxidation of NAs by activating hydrogen peroxide - considered environmentally friendly because it releases only water as by-product - under ultra-dilute conditions. We tested Fe-TAML/H2O2 systems on (i) model NAs and (ii) a complex mixture of NAs in oil refining wastewater (RWW) obtained from a refining site in Colombia. Given the need for cost-effective solutions, this preliminary study explores sub-stoichiometric H2O2 concentrations for NA mineralization in batch mode and, remarkably, delivers substantial removal of the starting NAs. Additionally, a 72-h semi-batch process in which Fe-TAML activators and hydrogen peroxide were added every 8 h achieved 90-95% removal when applied to model NAs (50 mg L-1) and a 4-fold reduction in toxicity towards Aliivibrio fischeri when applied to RWW. Chemical characterization of treated RWW showed that Fe-TAML/H2O2 treatment (i) reduced the concentration of the highly toxic O2 NAs, (ii) decreased cyclized constituents in the mixture, and (iii) preferentially degraded higher molecular weight species that are typically resistant to biodegradation. The experimental findings, together with the recent development of new TAML catalysts that are far more effective than the TAML catalysts deployed herein, constitute a foundation for cost-effective treatment of NA-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
Oxidative water purification of micropollutants (MPs) can proceed via toxic intermediates calling for procedures for connecting degrading chemical mixtures to evolving toxicity. Herein, we introduce a method for projecting evolving toxicity onto composite changing pollutant and intermediate concentrations illustrated through the TAML/H2O2 mineralization of the common drug and MP, propranolol. The approach consists of identifying the key intermediates along the decomposition pathway (UPLC/GCMS/NMR/UV-Vis), determining for each by simulation and experiment the rate constants for both catalytic and noncatalytic oxidations and converting the resulting predicted concentration versus time profiles to evolving composite toxicity exemplified using zebrafish lethality data. For propranolol, toxicity grows substantially from the outset, even after propranolol is undetectable, echoing that intermediate chemical and toxicity behaviors are key elements of the environmental safety of MP degradation processes. As TAML/H2O2 mimics mechanistically the main steps of peroxidase catalytic cycles, the findings may be relevant to propranolol degradation in environmental waters.

Abstract
Bis-sulfonamide bis-amide TAML activator [Fe{4-NO2 C6 H3 -1,2-(NCOCMe2 NSO2 )2 CHMe}]- (2) catalyzes oxidative degradation of the oxidation-resistant neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid (IMI), by H2 O2 at pH 7 and 25 °C, whereas the tetrakis-amide TAML [Fe{4-NO2 C6 H3 -1,2-(NCOCMe2 NCO)2 CF2 }]- (1), previously regarded as the most catalytically active TAML, is inactive under the same conditions. At ultra-low concentrations of both imidacloprid and 2, 62 % of the insecticide was oxidized in 2 h, at which time the catalyst is inactivated; oxidation resumes on addition of a succeeding aliquot of 2. Acetate and oxamate were detected by ion chromatography, suggesting deep oxidation of imidacloprid. Explored at concentrations [2]≥[IMI], the reaction kinetics revealed unusually low kinetic order in 2 (0.164±0.006), which is observed alongside the first order in imidacloprid and an ascending hyperbolic dependence in [H2 O2 ]. Actual independence of the reaction rate on the catalyst concentration is accounted for in terms of a reversible noncovalent binding between a substrate and a catalyst, which usually results in substrate inhibition when [catalyst]≪[substrate] but explains the zero order in the catalyst when [2]>[IMI]. A plausible mechanism of the TAML-catalyzed oxidations of imidacloprid is briefly discussed. Similar zero-order catalysis is presented for the oxidation of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol by H2 O2 , catalyzed by the TAML analogue of 1 without a NO2 -group in the aromatic ring.

Abstract
![]()
The selective hydroxylation of C–H
bonds is of great interest
to the synthetic community. Both homogeneous catalysts and enzymes
offer complementary means to tackle this challenge. Herein, we show
that biotinylated Fe(TAML)-complexes (TAML = Tetra Amido Macrocyclic
Ligand) can be used as cofactors for incorporation into streptavidin
to assemble artificial hydroxylases. Chemo-genetic optimization of
both cofactor and streptavidin allowed optimizing the performance
of the hydroxylase. Using H2O2 as oxidant, up
to ∼300 turnovers for the oxidation of benzylic C–H
bonds were obtained. Upgrading the ee was achieved by kinetic resolution
of the resulting benzylic alcohol to afford up to >98% ee for (R)-tetralol. X-ray analysis of artificial hydroxylases highlights
critical details of the second coordination sphere around the Fe(TAML)
cofactor.

Abstract
Understanding the catalysis of oxidative reactions by TAML activators of peroxides, i. e. iron(III) complexes of tetraamide macrocyclic ligands, advocated a spectrophotometric procedure for quantifying the catalytic activity of TAMLs for colorless targets (kII ', M-1 s-1 ), which is incomparably more advantageous in terms of time, cost, energy, and ecology than NMR, HPLC, UPLC, GC-MS and other similar techniques. Dyes Orange II or Safranin O (S) are catalytically bleached by non-excessive amount of H2 O2 in the presence of colorless substrates (S1 ) according to the rate law: -d[S]/dt=kI kII [H2 O2 ][S][TAML]/(kI [H2 O2 ]+kII [S]+kII '[S1 ]). The bleaching rate is thus a descending hyperbolic function of S1 : v=ab/(b+[S1 ]). Values of kII ' found from a and b for phenol and propranolol with commonly used TAML [FeIII {o,o'-C6 H4 (NCONMe2 CO)2 CMe2 }2 (OH2 )]+ are consistent with those for S1 (phenol, propranolol) obtained directly by UPLC. The study sends vital messages to enzymologists and environmentalists.

Abstract
TAML activators of peroxides are iron(III) complexes. The ligation by four deprotonated amide nitrogens in macrocyclic motifs is the signature of TAMLs where the macrocyclic structures vary considerably. TAML activators are exceptional functional replicas of the peroxidases and cytochrome P450 oxidizing enzymes. In water, they catalyze peroxide oxidation of a broad spectrum of compounds, many of which are micropollutants, compounds that produce undesired effects at low concentrations-as with the enzymes, peroxide is typically activated with near-quantitative efficiency. In nonaqueous solvents such as organic nitriles, the prototype TAML activator gave the structurally authenticated reactive iron(V)oxo units (FeVO), wherein the iron atom is two oxidation equivalents above the FeIII resting state. The iron(V) state can be achieved through the intermediacy of iron(IV) species, which are usually μ-oxo-bridged dimers (FeIVFeIV), and this allows for the reactivity of this potent reactive intermediate to be studied in stoichiometric processes. The present review is primarily focused at the mechanistic features of the oxidation by FeVO of hydrocarbons including cyclohexane. The main topic is preceded by a description of mechanisms of oxidation of thioanisoles by FeVO, because the associated studies provide valuable insight into the ability of FeVO to oxidize organic molecules. The review is opened by a summary of the interconversions between FeIII, FeIVFeIV, and FeVO species, since this information is crucial for interpreting the kinetic data. The highest reactivity in both reaction classes described belongs to FeVO. The resting state FeIII is unreactive oxidatively. Intermediate reactivity is typically found for FeIVFeIV; therefore, kinetic features for these species in interchange and oxidation processes are also reviewed. Examples of using TAML activators for C-H bond cleavage applied to fine organic synthesis conclude the review.

Abstract
Studies of the new tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand (TAML) activator [FeIII{(Me2CNCOCMe2NCO)2CMe2}OH2]- (4) in water in the pH range of 2-13 suggest its pseudo-octahedral geometry with two nonequivalent axial H2O ligands and revealed (i) the anticipated basic drift of the first pKa of water to 11.38 due to four electron-donating methyl groups alongside (ii) its counterintuitive enhanced resistance to acid-induced iron(III) ejection from the macrocycle. The catalytic activity of 4 in the oxidation of Orange II (S) by H2O2 in the pH range of 7-12 is significantly lower than that of previously reported TAML activators, though it follows the common rate law (v/[FeIII] = kIkII[H2O2][S]/(kI[H2O2] + kII[S]) and typical pH profiles for kI and kII. At pH 7 and 25 °C the rate constants kI and kII equal 0.63 ± 0.02 and 1.19 ± 0.03 M-1 s-1, respectively. With these new values for pKa, kI and kII establishing new high and low limits, respectively, the rate constants kI and kII were correlated with pKa values of all TAML activators. The relations log k = log k0 + α × pKa were established with log k0 = 13 ± 2 and 20 ± 4 and α = -1.1 ± 0.2 and -1.8 ± 0.4 for kI and kII, respectively. Thus, the reactivity of TAML activators across four generations of catalysts is predictable through their pKa values.

Abstract
Iron TAML activators of peroxides are functional catalase-peroxidase mimics. Switching from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to dioxygen (O2) as the primary oxidant was achieved by using a system of reverse micelles of Aerosol OT (AOT) in n-octane. Hydrophilic TAML activators are localized in the aqueous microreactors of reverse micelles where water is present in much lower abundance than in bulk water. n-Octane serves as a proximate reservoir supplying O2 to result in partial oxidation of Fe(III) to Fe(IV)-containing species, mostly the Fe(III)Fe(IV) (major) and Fe(IV)Fe(IV) (minor) dimers which coexist with the Fe(III) TAML monomeric species. The speciation depends on the pH and the degree of hydration w0, viz., the amount of water in the reverse micelles. The previously unknown Fe(III)Fe(IV) dimer has been characterized by UV-vis, EPR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. Reactive electron donors such as NADH, pinacyanol chloride, and hydroquinone undergo the TAML-catalyzed oxidation by O2. The oxidation of NADH, studied in most detail, is much faster at the lowest degree of hydration w0 (in "drier micelles") and is accelerated by light through NADH photochemistry. Dyes that are more resistant to oxidation than pinacyanol chloride (Orange II, Safranine O) are not oxidized in the reverse micellar media. Despite the limitation of low reactivity, the new systems highlight an encouraging step in replacing TAML peroxidase-like chemistry with more attractive dioxygen-activation chemistry.

Abstract
The results of low-temperature investigations of the oxidations of 9,10-dihydroanthracene, cumene, ethylbenzene, [D10]ethylbenzene, cyclooctane, and cyclohexane by an iron(V)-oxo TAML complex (2; see Figure 1) are presented, including product identification and determination of the second-order rate constants k2 in the range 233-243 K and the activation parameters (ΔH(≠) and ΔS(≠)). Statistically normalized k2 values (log k2') correlate linearly with the C-H bond dissociation energies DC-H, but ΔH(≠) does not. The point for 9,10-dihydroanthracene for the ΔH(≠) vs. DC-H correlation lies markedly off a common straight line of best fit for all other hydrocarbons, suggesting it proceeds via an alternate mechanism than the rate-limiting C-H bond homolysis promoted by 2. Contribution from an electron-transfer pathway may be substantial for 9,10-dihydroanthracene. Low-temperature kinetic measurements with ethylbenzene and [D10]ethylbenzene reveal a kinetic isotope effect of 26, indicating tunneling. The tunnel effect is drastically reduced at 0 °C and above, although it is an important feature of the reactivity of TAML activators at lower temperatures. The diiron(IV) μ-oxo dimer that is often a common component of the reaction medium involving 2 also oxidizes 9,10-dihydroanthracene, although its reactivity is three orders of magnitude lower than that of 2.

Abstract
An Fe(V)(O) complex has been synthesized from equimolar solutions of (Et4N)2[Fe(III)(Cl)(biuret-amide)] and mCPBA in CH3CN at room temperature. The Fe(V)(O) complex has been characterized by UV-vis, EPR, Mössbauer, and HRMS and shown to be capable of oxidizing a series of alkanes having C-H bond dissociation energies ranging from 99.3 kcal mol(-1) (cyclohexane) to 84.5 kcal mol(-1) (cumene). Linearity in the Bell-Evans-Polayni graph and the finding of a large kinetic isotope effect suggest that hydrogen abstraction is engaged the rate-determining step.

Abstract
The ferric TAML catalysts [Fe{C(6)H(2)-1,2-( NCOCMe(2)NCO)(2)CMe(2)}(OH(2))](-) (1) with counterions Na(+) (a) and PPh(4)(+) (b) function similar to horseradish peroxidase in the mediated electron transfer relays, which constitute a basis for amperometric biosensors. The mediators are mono- and bis-cyclometalated Ru and Os compounds of the type of [M(C∼N)(x)(N∼N)(3-x)](m+) with x = 1 and 2 (N∼N = 2,2'-bipyridine, (-)C∼N = 2-phenylpyridinato). Cyclic voltammograms of the Ru and Os compounds are not affected by 1a though cathodic currents increase drastically in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The reduction potentials of [M(C∼N)(x)(N∼N)(3-x)](m+) complexes vary with both the nature of metal (Ru or Os) and the number of cyclometalated ligands x (1 or 2) and therefore the potential of working electrode can be set in the range of from -0.1 to +0.6 V versus the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE). A prototype of a biosensor for H(2)O(2) is described, in which the 1b catalyst and [Os(C∼N)(2)(N∼N)](+) mediator were coimmobilized on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode using a polymeric coating.

Abstract
Iron TAML activators (oxidation catalysts based upon tetraamido macrocyclic ligands) at nanomolar concentrations in water activate hydrogen peroxide to rapidly degrade sertraline, the persistent, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the widely used drug Zoloft. Although all the API is readily consumed, degradation slows significantly at one intermediate, sertraline ketone. The process occurs from neutral to basic pH. The pathway has been characterized through four early intermediates which reflect the metabolism of sertraline, providing further evidence that TAML activator/peroxide reactive intermediates mimic those of cytochrome P450 enzymes. TAML catalysts have been designed to exhibit considerable variability in reactivity and this provides an excellent tool for observing degradation intermediates of widely differing stabilities. Two elusive, hydrolytically sensitive intermediates and likely human metabolites, sertraline imine and N-desmethylsertraline imine, could be identified only by using a fast-acting catalyst. The more stable intermediates and known human metabolites, desmethylsertraline and sertraline ketone, were most easily detected and studied using a slow-acting catalyst. The resistance of sertraline ketone to aggressive TAML activator/peroxide treatment marks it as likely to be environmentally persistent and signals that its environmental effects are important components of the full implications of sertraline use.

Abstract
Stopped-flow kinetic studies of the oxidation of Fe(III)-TAML catalysts, [ F e{1,2-X(2)C(6)H(2)-4,5-( NCOCMe(2) NCO)(2)CMe(2)}(OH(2))](-) (1), by t-BuOOH and H(2)O(2) in water affording Fe(IV) species has helped to clarify the mechanism of the interaction of 1 with primary oxidants. The data collected for substituted Fe(III)-TAMLs at pH 6.0-13.8 and 17-45 °C has confirmed that the reaction is first order both in 1 and in peroxides. Bell-shaped pH profiles of the effective second-order rate constants k(I) have maximum values in the pH range of 10.5-12.5 depending on the nature of 1 and the selected peroxide. The "acidic" part is governed by the deprotonation of the diaqua form of 1 and therefore electron-withdrawing groups move the lower pH limit of the reactivity toward neutral pH, although the rate constants k(I) do not change much. The dissection of k(I) into individual intrinsic rate constants k(1) ([FeL(OH(2))(2)](-) + ROOH), k(2) ([FeL(OH(2))OH)](2-) + ROOH), k(3) ([FeL(OH(2))(2)](-) + ROO(-)), and k(4) ([FeL(OH(2))OH)](2-) + ROO(-)) provides a model for understanding the bell-shaped pH-profiles. Analysis of the pressure and substituent effects on the reaction kinetics suggest that the k(2) pathway is (i) more probable than the kinetically indistinguishable k(3) pathway, and (ii) presumably mechanistically similar to the induced cleavage of the peroxide O-O bond postulated for cytochrome P450 enzymes. The redox titration of 1 by Ir(IV) and electrochemical data suggest that under basic conditions the reduction potential for the half-reaction [Fe(IV)L(=O)(OH(2))](2-) + e(-) + H(2)O → [Fe(III)L(OH)(OH(2))](2-) + OH(-) is close to 0.87 V (vs NHE).

Abstract
We describe the synthesis, characterization, aqueous behavior, and catalytic activity of a new generation of Fe(III)-TAML (tetraamido macrocycle ligand) activators of peroxides (2), variants of [Fe{(OC)(2)(o,o'-NC(6)H(4)NCO)(2)CMe(2)}(OH(2))(-)] (2d), which have been designed to be especially suitable for purifying water of recalcitrant oxidizable pollutants. Activation of H(2)O(2) by 2 (k(I)) as a function of pH was analyzed via kinetic studies of Orange II bleaching. This was compared with the known behavior of the first generation of Fe(III)-TAMLs (1). Novel reactivity features impact the potential for oxidant activation for water purification by 2d and its aromatic ring-substituted dinitro (2e) and tetrachloro (2f) derivatives. Thus, the maximum activity for 2e occurs at pH 9, the closest yet to the EPA guidelines for drinking water (6.5-8.5), allowing 2e to rapidly activate H(2)O(2) at pH 7.7. In water, 2e has two axial water ligands with pK(a)'s of 8.4 and 10.0 (25 degrees C). The former is the lowest for all Fe(III)-TAMLs developed to date and is key to 2e's exceptional catalytic activity in neutral and slightly basic solutions. Below pH 7, 2d was found to be quite sensitive to demetalation in phosphate buffers. This was overcome by iterative design to give 2e (hydrolysis rate 2d > 100 x 2e). Mechanistic studies highlight 2e's increased stability by establishing that to demetalate 2e at a comparable rate to which H(2)PO(4)(-) demetalates 2d, H(3)PO(4) is required. A critical criterion for green catalysts for water purification is the avoidance of endocrine disruptors, which can impair aquatic life. Fe(III)-TAMLs do not alter transcription mediated by mammalian thyroid, androgen, or estrogen hormone receptors, suggesting that 2 do not bind to the receptors and reducing concerns that the catalysts might have endocrine disrupting activity.

Abstract
Environmentally useful, small molecule mimics of the peroxidase enzymes must exhibit very high reactivity in water near neutral pH. Here we describe the design and structural and kinetic characterization of a second generation of iron(III)-TAML activators with unprecedented peroxidase-mimicking abilities. Iterative design has been used to remove the fluorine that led to the best performers in first-generation iron-TAMLs. The result is a superior catalyst that meets a green chemistry objective by being comprised exclusively of biochemically common elements. The rate constants for bleaching at pH 7, 9, and 11 of the model substrate, Orange II, shows that the new Fe(III)-TAML has the fastest reactivity at pH's closer to neutral of any TAML activator to date. Under appropriate conditions, the new catalyst can decolorize Orange II without loss of activity for at least 10 half-lives, attesting to its exceptional properties as an oxidizing enzyme mimic.
