10. Mayer J.M. Proton coupled electron transfer: a reaction chemists view. Annu Rev Phys Chem 55 (2004) 363-390. The key concepts of metal assisted C{single bond}H bond activation are outlined eloquently in this review. Although most of the examples are non-biological, the ideas are expressed clearly and written in an understandable manner that can be transferred to understand biological systems. This review is certainly required reading for anyone in the field.

This paper describes a synthetic system, in which the basicity of the oxo ligand is a key contributor to function. The approach and concepts are clearly presented and show that oxo basicity is a factor in the reactivity of synthetic metal-oxo complexes.
