Reactivity of a stable copper-dioxygen complex

We report the isolation of a room temperature stable dipyrromethene Cu(O ) complex featuring a side-on O coordination. Reactivity studies highlight the unique ability of the dioxygen adduct for both hydrogen-atom abstraction and acid/base chemistry towards phenols, demonstrating that side-on superox...

Summary:We report the isolation of a room temperature stable dipyrromethene Cu(O ) complex featuring a side-on O coordination. Reactivity studies highlight the unique ability of the dioxygen adduct for both hydrogen-atom abstraction and acid/base chemistry towards phenols, demonstrating that side-on superoxide species can be reactive entities.
