Progresses in the study of oxygenations with molecular oxygen partly described above show the expand of chemistry from biomimetic or bioinorganic chemistry to bioinspired catalysis. The use of non-iron and -copper complexes provides not only mechanistic insights into the enzymatic oxygenations as described in Chapters 4 and 6, but different
