As a cofactor in metalloenzymes (e.g., galactose oxidase, GO), phenoxy radicals play an important role in biological processes. Although many model compounds have been extensively studied so far, several aspects of the catalytic cycle (e.g., structural changes or effects of the secondary coordination sphere) need further discussion.
