Summary of work carried out by Naruta and co-workers on the modified “hangman” platform (left, Mes = mesityl).The heme-superoxo adduct which was initially generated could then be reduced to give the end-on low-spin ferric peroxo complex, which is then protonated to generate the corresponding ferric-hydroperoxo species (right).
