Organocopper (III) species were generally considered as the key intermediates in a variety
of copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, aerobic oxidations, as well as enzyme …

This review summarizes the latest discoveries in the field of C–H activation by copper
monoxygenases and more particularly by their bioinspired systems. This work first describes …

A series of organometallic copper complexes in formal oxidation states ranging from+ 1 to+
3 have been characterized by a combination of Cu K-edge X-ray absorption (XAS) and Cu …

Copper-catalyzed coupling reactions of alkyl halides are believed to prominently involve
copper (II) species and alkyl radicals as pivotal intermediates, with their exact interaction …

The active site of nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), a key enzyme in denitrification, features a
unique μ4-sulfido-bridged tetranuclear Cu cluster (the so-called CuZ or CuZ* site). Details of …

Cu systems feature prominently in aerobic oxidative catalysis in both biology and synthetic
chemistry. Metal ligand cooperativity is a common theme in both areas as exemplified by …

To improve Cu-based water oxidation (WO) catalysts, a proper mechanistic understanding of
these systems is required. In contrast to other metals, high-oxidation-state metal–oxo …

A series of Cu (II) complexes, 1–4 and 6, were synthesized through a reaction of amine-
functionalized pincer-like ligands, HL 1, 2, L a, b, and a bidentate ligand L 1 with CuCl2 …

Copper N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an emerging area of focus for catalysis and
other applications. Using a straightforward methodology, a new and highly modifiable …

A flexible macrocyclic ligand with two tridentate {CNC} compartments can host two Cu ions
in reversibly interconvertible states, CuICuI (1) and mixed‐valent Cu1. 5Cu1. 5 (2). They …
