title: Dioxygen activation and two consecutive oxidative decarboxylations of phenylpyruvate by nonheme iron(II) complexes: functional models of hydroxymandelate synthase (HMS) and CloR.
abstract: Two mononuclear iron(ii)-phenylpyruvate complexes of monoanionic facial N3 ligands are reported to react with dioxygen to undergo two consecutive oxidative decarboxylation steps via an iron-mandelate complex mimicking the function of HMS and CloR.
