Abstract
Molecular cavities that mimic natural metalloenzymes have shown the potential to trap elusive reaction intermediates. Here, we demonstrate the formation of a rare yet stable Fe(IV)-superoxo intermediate at room temperature subsequent to dioxygen binding at the Fe(III) site of a (Et4N)2[FeIII(Cl)(bTAML)] complex confined inside the hydrophobic interior of a water-soluble Pd6L412+ nanocage. Using a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance, Mössbauer, Raman/IR vibrational, X-ray absorption, and emission spectroscopies, we demonstrate that the cage-encapsulated complex has a Fe(IV) oxidation state characterized by a stable S = 1/2 spin state and a short Fe-O bond distance of ∼1.70 Å. We find that the O2 reaction in confinement is reversible, while the formed Fe(IV)-superoxo complex readily reacts when presented with substrates having weak C-H bonds, highlighting the lability of the O-O bond. We envision that such optimally trapped high-valent superoxos can show new classes of reactivities catalyzing both oxygen atom transfer and C-H bond activation reactions.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450, one of nature's oxidative workhorses, catalyzes the oxidation of C-H bonds in complex biological settings. Extensive research has been conducted over the past five decades to develop a fully functional mimic that activates O2 or H2O2 in water to oxidize strong C-H bonds. We report the first example of a synthetic iron complex that functionally mimics cytochrome P450 in 100% water using H2O2 as the oxidant. This iron complex, in which one methyl group is replaced with a phenyl group in either wing of the macrocycle, oxidized unactivated C-H bonds in small organic molecules with very high selectivity in water (pH 8.5). Several substrates (34 examples) that contained arenes, heteroaromatics, and polar functional groups were oxidized with predictable selectivity and stereoretention with moderate to high yields (50-90%), low catalyst loadings (1-4 mol%) and a small excess of H2O2 (2-3 equiv.) in water. Mechanistic studies indicated the oxoiron(v) to be the active intermediate in water and displayed unprecedented selectivity towards 3° C-H bonds. Under single-turnover conditions, the reactivity of this oxoiron(v) intermediate in water was found to be around 300 fold higher than that in CH3CN, thus implying the role water plays in enzymatic systems.

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
The electron transfer process between pentammineaquacobalt (III) and hexacyanoferrate (II), [Co(NH3)5H2O]3+/Fe(CN)6]4− ion pair was investigated in water/dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT)/Isooctane reverse micelles. The study observed that the electron transfer rate depends on the size of the reverse micelles. The concentrations of Fe (II) ions were varied in different-sized (Wo) reverse micelles of Wo = [H2O]/[AOT] = 10 to 30, but the concentration of Co (III) ions was kept constant. The rate of electron transfer in the ion pair [Co(NH3)5H2O]3+/[Fe(CN)6]4− increased with decreasing size (Wo) of reverse micelles. The smallest reverse micelles Wo = 10 demonstrated the fastest electron transfer rate, and the biggest Wo = 30 reverse micelles showed the slowest electron transfer rate. The change of reaction environment and the location of the reactants in the reverse micelles due to confinement are considered the factors responsible for the results.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the principal structural and dynamics characteristics of reverse micelles (RMs) in order to highlight their structural flexibility and versatility, along with the possibility to modulate their parameters in a controlled manner. The multifunctionality in a large range of different scientific fields is exemplified in two distinct directions: a theoretical model for mimicry of the biological microenvironment and practical application in the field of nanotechnology and nano-based sensors. RMs represent a convenient experimental approach that limits the drawbacks of the conventionally biological studies in vitro, while the particular structure confers them the status of simplified mimics of cells by reproducing a complex supramolecular organization in an artificial system. The biological relevance of RMs is discussed in some particular cases referring to confinement and a crowded environment, as well as the molecular dynamics of water and a cell membrane structure. The use of RMs in a range of applications seems to be more promising due to their structural and compositional flexibility, high efficiency, and selectivity. Advances in nanotechnology are based on developing new methods of nanomaterial synthesis and deposition. This review highlights the advantages of using RMs in the synthesis of nanoparticles with specific properties and in nano (bio)sensor design.

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
A new class of highly valent iron compounds is formed by atmospheric oxidation in aqueous media and it is extremely stable both in solid and soluble conditions and may exist indefinitely in a medium without signs of degradation. The first clathrochelate complexes of iron (IV) are infinitely stable in water and readily available from simple, commercially available, inexpensive source materials with surprisingly mild reaction conditions. To create new drugs on their bases, research on their toxicity is required. In this study, the results of preclinical studies of a new iron clathrochelates drug are presented. Experiments were carried out on white rats and quails, which in the previous experiment were divided into five experimental and two control groups. The solution of iron clathrochelate complexes was administered intragastrically in doses 50, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg, respectively. Our results have shown that there were no grounds for using rats in the advanced experiment because the conducted research has established that iron clathrochelate is non toxic to rats. Thus, the minimum dose of iron clathrochelate complexes did not cause death of quails, and the largest dose caused 100% mortality. The basic experiment was conducted on 6 groups of birds, each consisting of 7 quails. The drug was administered in the following doses: 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 mg/kg. The monitoring observation of the laboratory birds lasted for 14 days. It has been established that the average lethal dose of clathrochelate of the investigated drug for internal administration in quails is 764 ± 33 mg/kg. According to the classification of chemicals by the degree of danger (State ST 12.1.007-76), iron (IV) clathrochelate complexes correspond to the third class of hazard, and according to the classification of substances for toxicity they are classified as category 4 (low toxicity substances). The prospect of further research is to investigate the pharmacological and toxicological properties of iron (IV) clathrochelate for chronic toxicity.

Abstract
The behavior of acetonitrile/sodium 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT)/ n-heptane microemulsion, whether it remains as reverse micelle (RM) or bicontinuous microemulsion (BMC), has been controversial and even termed as a "problem system". Herein, we investigate the microemulsion using spectral and dynamical responses of a hydrophilic solvatochromic fluorophore 4-aminophthalimide (4-AP) at different ws values (=[acetonitrile]/[AOT]). Interestingly, we found that emission parameters of 4-AP within the microemulsion vary differently at low and high ws regimes. The quantum yield (ϕf) and lifetime (τf) of 4-AP first increase up to ws = ∼1 and, thereafter, decrease upon a further increase in the ws values. The emission maximum of 4-AP significantly shifts to a higher wavelength from 445 nm at ws = 0 to 475 nm at ws = 8. Interestingly, unlike aqueous RMs, the emission maximum at ws = 1 matches with the emission maximum in neat acetonitrile and the emission maximum shifts to even longer wavelength at a higher ws. Steady-state anisotropy also shows a break around ws = 1; anisotropy decreases very sharply from ws = 0 to 1 and, thereafter, remains nearly constant. Solvation dynamics becomes progressively faster with an increase in the acetonitrile content only in the low ws regimes but remains almost independent of ws after ws > 2. All of the results collectively indicate that the morphology of the microemulsion may change at an intermediate ws (∼1); below this, the system behaves like reverse micelles, and above this, the system may remain as BMC. The conjecture was further supported by dynamic light scattering measurements, where we observed a gradual increment of the average size at the low acetonitrile content (up to ws = 1) but, thereafter, the size distribution becomes multimodal and sizes cannot be estimated correctly.

Abstract
Aerobic epoxidation of olefins catalyzed by iron complexes without the use of a sacrificial coreductant is unknown. We report the reductive activation of O2 by a bioinspired [(bTAML)FeIII(H2O)]- (1) complex to catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes with TONs of up to 80. Spectroscopic and kinetic evidence indicates the involvement of FeV(O) as the active oxidant during the reaction.

Abstract
With special confined water pools, reverse micelles (RMs) have shown potential for a wide range of applications. However, the inherent water-insolubility of RMs hinders their further application prospects, especially for applications related to biology. We recently reported the first successful transfer of RMs from organic media to an aqueous phase without changing the smart water pools by the hydrolysis of an arm-cleavable interfacial cross-linked reverse micelles. Herein, we employed another elaborate amphiphile 1 to construct new acrylamide-based cross-linked water-soluble nanoparticles (ACW-NPs) under much gentler conditions. The special property of the water pools of the ACW-NPs was confirmed by both the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between 5-((2-aminoethyl)amino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (1,5-EDANS) and benzoic acid, 4-[2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]diazenyl] (DABCYL) and satisfactory colloidal stability in 10% fetal bovine serum. Importantly, featured by the gentle synthetic strategy, confined water pool, and carboxylic acid-functionalized surface, the new ACW-NPs are well suitable for biological applications. As an example, the fluorescent reagent 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid trisodium salt (HPTS) was encapsulated in the core and simultaneously, the anticancer drug gemcitabine (Gem) was covalently conjugated onto the surface exterior. As expected, the resulting multifunctional ACW-NPs@HPTS@Gem exhibits a high imaging effect and anticancer activity for non-small lung cancer cells.

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
In nature, iron, the fourth most abundant element of the Earth's crust, occurs in its stable forms either as the native metal or in its compounds in the +2 or +3 (low-valent) oxidation states. High-valent iron (+4, +5, +6) compounds are not formed spontaneously at ambient conditions, and the ones obtained synthetically appear to be unstable in polar organic solvents, especially aqueous solutions, and this is what limits their studies and use. Here we describe unprecedented iron(IV) hexahydrazide clathrochelate complexes that are assembled in alkaline aqueous media from iron(III) salts, oxalodihydrazide and formaldehyde in the course of a metal-templated reaction accompanied by air oxidation. The complexes can exist indefinitely at ambient conditions without any sign of decomposition in water, nonaqueous solutions and in the solid state. We anticipate that our findings may open a way to aqueous solution and polynuclear high-valent iron chemistry that remains underexplored and presents an important challenge.

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
Enzymes typically depend on either NAD(P)H or FADH2 as hydride source for reduction purposes. In contrast, organometallic catalysts most often rely on isopropanol or formate to generate the reactive hydride moiety. Here we show that incorporation of a Cp*Ir cofactor possessing a biotin moiety and 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline into streptavidin yields an NAD(P)H-dependent artificial transfer hydrogenase (ATHase). This ATHase (0.1 mol%) catalyzes imine reduction with 1 mM NADPH (2 mol%), which can be concurrently regenerated by a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) using only 1.2 equiv of glucose. A four-enzyme cascade consisting of the ATHase, the GDH, a monoamine oxidase, and a catalase leads to the production of enantiopure amines.
