“…fully methylated tren, was used. [50,90] The solutions of Me 6 tren and Cu I salts proved to be extremely sensitive towards traces of dioxygen or moisture; oxidation or disproportionation of the complex was frequently observed before the pure, crystalline copper(I) complex [Cu(Me 6 tren)]-ClO 4 could be isolated. [50] The geometry of [Cu(Me 6 tren)]ClO 4 is best described as trigonal pyramidal, but a weak interaction with the perchlorate anion cannot be neglected.…”

Efforts to model the reactions of copper enzymes with dioxygen with low molecular weight complexes have been quite successful during recent years. Guided by Nature, intriguing model systems for the active sites of such proteins have been developed. In the course of these investigations, it has been discovered that a whole variety of copper−dioxygen adducts form when simple copper(I) complexes are oxidized with dioxygen. The course of these reactions depends on the temperature, the ligands present, and the solvent. The effects of these parameters (especially the effect of ligand modification) on the reactivity of copper(I) complexes towards dioxygen are discussed in detail in this review.

“…We employ extensively the stopped-flow technique for the investigation of the reaction of dioxygen with copper() complexes. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Such compounds can be regarded as low molecular weight model complexes for a large number of copper proteins involved in the redox processing of dioxygen. 7,10- 19 They not only provide a better understanding of the biological molecules but also assist in the development of new homogeneous catalysts for selective oxidations under mild conditions.…”

Low temperature stopped-flow methods together with diode array instrumentation have become extremely useful for studying reactions that are too fast at ambient temperatures and/or for detecting reactive intermediates that can only be observed at low temperatures. Furthermore, global analysis fitting methods are described that allow the analysis of complex reaction mechanisms. To illustrate the method the reaction of dioxygen with the tripodal copper() complex [Cu(Me 2 -uns-penp)(CH 3 CN)]ClO 4 (Me 2 -uns-penp = (2-dimethylaminoethyl)bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) is discussed as an example.
