The ability of two iron(II) complexes, [(Tp)Fe(benzilate)] (1) and [(Tp)(Fe)(NPP)] (2) (Tp = hydrotris(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, NPP-H = α-isonitrosopropiophenone), of a monoanionic facial N3 ligand in the O-dependent oxidation of oximes is reported. The mononuclear complex 1 reacts with dioxygen to decarboxylate the iron-coordinated benzilate. The oximate-bridged dinuclear complex (2), which contains a high-spin (Tp)Fe unit and a low-spin iron(II)-oximate unit, activates dioxygen at the high-spin iron(II) center. Both the complexes exhibit the oxidative transformation of oximes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with the incorporation of one oxygen atom from dioxygen. In the oxidation process, the oxime units are converted to nitric oxide (NO) or nitroxyl (HNO). The iron(II)-benzilate complex (1) reacts with oximes to afford HNO, whereas the iron(II)-oximate complex (2) generates NO. The results described here suggest that the oxidative transformation of oximes to NO/HNO follows different pathways depending upon the nature of co-ligand/reductant.Graphic abstract.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is an important chemical in synthetic chemistry with huge demands. Photocatalytic synthesis of HO via oxygen reduction and water oxidation reactions (ORR and WOR) is considered as a promising and desirable solution for on-site applications. However, the efficiency of such a process is low due to the poor solubility of molecular oxygen and the rapid reverse reaction of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with hydrogen atoms (H).

Background/objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, for which a definitive cure is still missing. Recently, natural compounds have been investigated for their possible neuroprotective role, including the bioactivated product of glucoraphanin (GRA), the sulforaphane (SFN), which is highly rich in cruciferous vegetables. It is known that SFN alleviates neuronal dysfunction, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in the brain.

Click chemistry has become one of the most powerful construction tools in the field of organic chemistry, materials science, and polymer science, as it offers hassle-free platforms for the high-yielding synthesis of novel materials and easy functionalization strategies. The absence of harsh reaction conditions or complicated workup procedures allowed the rapid development of novel biofunctional polymeric materials, such as biopolymers, tailor-made polymer surfaces, stimulus-responsive polymers, etc. In this review, we discuss various types of click reactions─including azide-alkyne cycloadditions, nucleophilic and radical thiol click reactions, a range of cycloadditions (Diels-Alder, tetrazole, nitrile oxide, etc.
