Abstract

We consider how transient oxygen states, which provide low energy pathways in catalytic oxidation reaction at metal surfaces involving radical chemistry, can offer a view on the mechanism and why there is a lack of experimental evidence for the active oxygen state in the P450 enzyme system.
