The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

The impetus to modeling of enzyme active sites comes from their potential to provide insight
to the mechanistic pathways of the native enzymes, establish the role of that particular metal …

A diphenoxido-bridged dinuclear copper (II) complex,[Cu2L2 (ClO4) 2](1), has been
synthesized using a tridentate reduced Schiff base ligand, 2-[[2-(diethylamino) ethylamino] …
