Abstract It was demonstrated previously that a system consisting of a dinuclear iron complex with the ligand HPTB (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis[2-benzimidazolylmethyl]-1,3-diamino-2-propanol) reacts with dioxygen to form a peroxido complex that may be used for the oxidation of organic substrates. Detailed kinetic studies using stopped-flow techniques and a SuperFocus mixer clearly demonstrate that this complex has a high potential for future applications in catalytic selective oxidation processes in industry. Especially for that reason a reaction KIT system for easy handling was developed that allows to start with a stable iron(III) complex that is reduced (activated) prior to its oxidation with dioxygen. This work has been selected by the Editors as a Featured Cover Article for this issue.

从模型化合物到应用：在 SuperFocus 混合器中使用铁配合物激活分子氧的动力学研究

摘要 先前已经证明，由双核铁配合物与配体 HPTB（N,N,N',N'-四[2-苯并咪唑基甲基]-1,3-二氨基-2-丙醇）组成的系统与分子氧反应生成形成可用于氧化有机底物的过氧化物络合物。使用停流技术和 SuperFocus 混合器进行的详细动力学研究清楚地表明，这种复合物在未来工业催化选择性氧化过程中具有很高的应用潜力。特别是由于这个原因，开发了一种易于处理的反应 KIT 系统，该系统允许从稳定的铁 (III) 配合物开始，该配合物在用双氧氧化之前被还原（活化）。这项工作已被编辑选为本期的特色封面文章。
