title: 1018 - ACTIVATION OF OXYGEN BY METAL COMPLEXES AND ITS RELEVANCE TO AUTOXIDATIVE PROCESSES IN LIVING SYSTEMS.
abstract: Aspects of the kinetics and thermodynamics of the iron-catalysed Haber-Weiss reaction are discussed with special emphasis on the potentialin vivosources of iron. In addition, the properties of the iron chelates that inhibit the Haber-Weiss reaction are considered.
