    Abstract

    The formation of active intermediates from the Fenton-like reagent (a mixture of iron(III) ions and hydrogen peroxide) in aqueous solution has been investigated using static DFT calculations and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. We show the spontaneous formation of the iron(III) hydroperoxo intermediate in a first step. The Fenton-like reaction thus proceeds very differently compared to Fenton's reagent (i.e., the Fe
