title: Oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-hydroxy acids by a functional model of the nonheme iron oxygenase, CloR.
abstract: Iron(II)-alpha-hydroxy acid complexes of a tripodal N4 ligand undergo oxidative decarboxylation upon exposure to O(2) and mimic the aliphatic C1-C2 cleavage step catalyzed by CloR.
