TL;DR: The structure, properties and a mechanism for the catecholase activity of a tetranuclear carbonato-bridged copper(II) cluster with the macrocyclic ligand with a carbonate anion are reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, 1,3-bis(5′-methylpyrazol-1′-yl)propane (bpp) and 1, 3-bis (3′, 5′-dimethylpyrazal-1-yl)-propane(bdpp) have been prepared by reacting 2 equiv. of the corresponding potassium pyrazolate with 1 equiv of 1, threedibromopropane.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D structure of the dicopper(II) complex is presented, which is the first 3D model of the active site of the catechol oxidase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis, optical and magnetic properties and the X-ray crystal structure of [Cu2(amp)2Cl4] (amp=5-aminomethyl-3-methylpyrazole), a new dinuclear chloro-bridged copper(II) compound, are described.

TL;DR: In this article, four new macrocyclic ligands of varying ring size, [22]py4pz, [21]py2pz and [20]py3pz, containing four or two endocyclic pyrazole groups, were shown to be active catalysts in the coordination of dinuclear copper compounds.
