TL;DR: In this paper, the structural basis for the pH dependence of activity and nitrite affinity was investigated by examining the type 2 copper site and its immediate surroundings in nitrite reductase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.

TL;DR: Coordination studies of the pyridine-triazole diad to copper(i) and silver( i) reveal the potential and conditions for the solution- and solid-state self-assembly of supramolecular architectures based on this motif.

TL;DR: The combination of 2 (0.005 mmol) with hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile is found to be an active catalyst for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding acids and ketones, respectively, at room temperature.
Abstract: New four-coordinated tetrahedral copper(I) complexes have been synthesized from the reactions between [CuCl2(PPh3)2] and N-(diphenylcarbamothioyl)benzamide (HL1) or N-(diethylcarbamothioyl)benzamide (HL2) in benzene. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis, 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of both the complexes, [CuCl(HL1)2(PPh3)] (1) and [CuCl(HL2)(PPh3)2] (2) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which reveals distorted tetrahedral geometry around each Cu(I) ion. The combination of 2 (0.005 mmol) with hydrogen peroxide (2.5 mmol) in acetonitrile is found to be an active catalyst for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols (0.5 mmol) to their corresponding acids and ketones, respectively, at room temperature.
