Abstract
A study of the crystal structure and spectra of synthetic copper-dioxygen complexes is presented. Ligands with hindered 1,4,7-triazacyclononanes linked by p- and m-xylyl groups, p- and m-XYL(super iPr4) have been studied. Results show that the reaction of dicopper(I) complex of m-XYL(super iPr4) with O2 has multiple pathways yielding (mu-eta2:eta2-peroxo)dicopper(II) and bis(mu-oxo)dicopper(III) cores with different overall complex nuclearities and divergent C-H bond activation reactivities.
