TL;DR: A model for the key intermediate in copper oxygenase reactions, the Cu(II)-OOH complex, was prepared with the novel tripodal pyridylamine ligand, bis(6-pivalamide-2-pyridylmethyl)(2- pyridolmethyl)amine, stabilized by hydrogen bonding to two amine H atoms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and stabilization due to stacking of ternary copper(II) complexes containing an aromatic amino acid (AA) and an aromatic diamine (DA), Cu(AA)(DA), have been investigated by potentiometric, spectroscopic, and X-ray diffraction methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a catalytic cycle composed of sorption of the reactants in the cavities of polycrystalline host 1, preorganized intracavity reaction, and desorption of product.

TL;DR: In this paper, a structural mimic of the Arg 141 residue near copper site in native bovine Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD), four mononuclear copper complexes with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine derivatives having a hydrogen bonding site (pivalamido, neopentylamino, or amino groups) at the pyridine 6-position, [Cu(tnpa)(OH)]ClO4 (1), [cu(tapa)Cl]ClO 4 (2

TL;DR: Using chiral 1,3-bis(imidazolin-2-yl)benzene (Phebim)-Pd(II) complexes afforded products with good enantioselectivity and can be converted to homoallylic amines and a spirocyclic amine without the loss of enantiopurity.
