Fe2+ + H2O2 Fe3+ + OH. + OH-. This is the iron-salt-dependent decomposition of dihydrogen peroxide, generating the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, possibly via an oxoiron(IV) intermediate. Addition of a reducing agent such as ascorbate leads to acycle which increases the damage to biological molecules. See also Haber-Weiss reaction.
