The present article summarizes some new aspects of the mechanism of the superoxide dismutation (disproportionation) catalyzed by seven-coordinate manganese and iron complexes with pentadentate ligands and ligand structural requirements for the high SOD activity of this class of complexes. We also shed light on stoichiometric reactions between iron porphyrins and superoxide, and on a nature of obtained metal-superoxide adducts (M-superoxo and/or M-peroxo). Characterization of such species is of a general chemical as well as biological importance, since they are invoked as key intermediates in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and superoxide reductase (SOR) catalytic mechanisms, and also in the mechanisms of metalloenzyme-catalyzed dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide activation. © 2008 Elsevier Inc.
