The role of metals in the reactivity of HO/sub 2//O/sub 2//sup -/ with compounds of biological interest is discussed. A scheme that illustrates the various reactions a transition metal complex can undergo when reacting with HO/sub 2//O/sub 2//sup -/ is presented in terms of ligand and pH effects. The ferrous ion catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is reviewed in terms of new rate data for the reactions of ferric ion with perhydroxyl (HO/sub 2/) and superoxide (O/sub 2//sup -/) radicals. The new results support a mechanism proposed by Barb et al. (Barb, W.G., Baxendale, J.H., George, P. and Hargrave, K.R. 1951 - Reactions of ferrous and ferric ions with hydrogen peroxide. Part I. The ferrous ion reaction. Trans. Farad. Soc. 47, 462-500), and negates the occurrence of the Haber-Weiss reaction in this system. In presence of Mn(II)-complexes, O/sub 2//sup -/ reacts to form MnO/sub 2//sup +/-transients and Mn(III)-complexes. Their reactivities with ascorbate, Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) and NADH/NADPH is discussed. 41 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
