Abstract
Reported in this paper is the first example of a ruthenium complex, [Ru(III)(edta)(H(2)O)](-) (edta = ethylenediaminetetra-acetate), that catalyzes the oxidation of hydroxyurea in the presence of H(2)O(2), mimicking the action of peroxidase or catalase and shedding light on their possible mechanism of action.
