a The proposed reaction pathway of LOX-like activity, involving the dioxygenation of a substrate containing a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene moiety on Fe2N4O2 model. Bond distance unit: Å. b Gibbs free energy profile for key intermediate and transition states in the LOX-like catalytic cycle. Energy unit: eV. c Electronic structure analysis of projected electronic densities of states (pDOS) of a cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene moiety, Fe2 DAC structure, and their interaction configuration. The asterisk (*) is used to mark species adsorbed on Fe2 DAC.
