Novel Reactivity of Side-On (Disulfido)dicopper Complexes Supported by Bi-and Tridentate Nitrogen Donors:Impact of Axial Coordination

摘要

The distinctive structure of the [(histidine)7Cu4(mu_4-S)] cluster in the "Cu_z" active site of nitrous oxide reductase and the intriguing proposals for its redox and catalytic reactivity have inspired synthetic model studies aimed at understanding the properties of copper-sulfur complexes supported by N-donor ligands.
