Abstract

Comparison of the catalytic effect of Mg2+ in reduction of O2 by 1,5-dihydroflavin anion with that in electron transfer from decamethylferrocene to O2 has revealed that the catalysis of Mg 2+ in both cases is ascribed to the 1: 1 and 1: 2 complexes formed between O2.- and Mg2+, which result in acceleration of the rate of electron-transfer reduction of O2 to O2.- in MeCN.
