Reported is the first example of a ruthenium(III) complex, Ru(III)(edta) (edta(4-) = ethylenediaminetetraacetate), that catalyzes the disproportion of H2O2 to O2 and water in resemblance to catalase activity, and shedding light on the possible mechanism of action of the Ru(V)(edta)(O) formed in the reacting system.
