O2 Chemistry of Dicopper Complexes with Alkyltriamine Ligands. Comparing Synergistic Effects on O2 Binding

摘要

Two dicopper(I) complexes containing tertiary N-methylated hexaaza ligands which impose different steric constrains to the Cu ions have been synthetized, and their reactivity towards O2 has been compared with a mononuclear related system, highlighting the importance of cooperative effects between the metal centers in O2 activation.
