Abstract
AbstractReaction of a copper(I) complex supported by a sterically demanding tripodal tetradentate ligand, HIPT3tren, and O2 gave a mononuclear copper(II) end‐on superoxo complex. Spectroscopic (UV/Vis, resonance Raman, ESR, and 1H‐NMR) and DFT studies have been performed. The O2‐binding process as well as the reaction toward external substrates have been investigated kinetically to demonstrate the unique behavior of the copper(II) end‐on superoxo complex, which may occur as a result of the existence of the hydrophobic core around the copper coordination sphere created by the HIPT3tren ligand.
