High-valent metal–oxo complexes are key reactive species for oxidation and oxygenation of organic compounds in nature as well as in the laboratory.[1, 2] Although iron is the most common metal species among high-valent metal–oxo complexes,[3] there are also manganese–oxo,[4] ruthenium–oxo,[5] and other metal–oxo complexes.[6] High-valent metal–oxo species are produced by reductive activation of molecular oxygen coupled with ...
