Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Density functional theory is used to probe the reaction of O with the unsaturated transition-metal fragments [M(bipy)], M = Cr, Fe. In both cases, calculations indicate that the O molecule is initially trapped as an ν bound superoxide ion, where the unpaired electron in the out-of-plane π* orbital of O is weakly coupled to those on the trivalent metal ion. In the chromium case, a cis-dioxo Cr complex is found to be significantly more stable than the superoxo species. The two minima are, however, separated by a large barrier, along with a change in spin state. For the iron analogue, the relative energies of the two minima are reversed, the superoxo complex being the global minimum. The energetics of the O activation processes are consistent with previously reported mass spectrometric experiments, where an adduct, [M(bipy)(O)], was detected only for chromium.
