This element is found at the center of arginase, and four atoms of it and one calcium atom are found at the center of the oxygen-evolving complex.
This element is found at the center of arginase, and four atoms of it and one calcium atom are found at the center of the oxygen-evolving complex. This element is bound to a salen ligand in the catalyst for the Jacobsen epoxidation. This element is present along with iron in the active site of one form of superoxide dismutase. This element's dioxide is used to selectively oxidize allylic and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes. It's not osmium, but a polyatomic ion containing this element and oxygen can be used to oxidize alkenes to (*) vicinal diols. That polyatomic ion possesses a notable intense purple color and contains this element in a +7 oxidation state. For 10 points, name this element with atomic number 25 and symbol Mn.
