Abstract

Here we report a direct observation, by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, of the intermediate [VO(OH~2~)(OH)(OBr)]^+^, which may be involved in the catalytic cycle of the V‐HalPO enzymes. Ab initio calculations also support the stability of such a species. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
