We report that by controlling the orientation of the impinging O 2 before it binds to heme, we can lower the activation barrier of O 2 dissociation from the heme-O 2 adduct to a value comparable to the activation barrier of the well-known platinum catalyst, using ab initio calculations based on dens...
