{wiki=Haber–Weiss_reaction}
The Haber–Weiss reaction is a chemical reaction involving the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydroxyl radicals (·OH), from hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in the presence of transition metal ions such as iron (Fe) or copper (Cu). This reaction highlights the interplay between reactive species in biological systems and is significant in the context of oxidative stress and damage to biological molecules.
