The mononuclear copper title complex {N,N,N',N'-tetra-kis-[(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]ethane-1,2-di-amine-κ6N}copper(II) bis-(tetra-fluorido-borate), [Cu(C30H36N6)](BF4)2, is conveniently prepared from the reaction of Cu(BF4)2·6H2O with N,N,N',N'-tetra-kis-[(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]ethane-1,2-di-amine (tmpen) in aceto-nitrile at room temperature in air. The complex shows a distorted o...

Metal-catalyzed C–N cross-coupling generally forms C−N bonds by reductive elimination from metal complexes bearing covalent C- and N-ligands. We have identified a Cu-mediated that uses dative N-ligand in the bond-forming event, which, contrast to conventional methods, generates reactive cationic products. Mechanistic studies suggest process operates via transmetalation of an aryl organoboron Cu...

Biomolecular complexes are often multimers fueling the demand for methods that allow unraveling their composition and geometric arrangement. Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is increasingly applied for retrieving geometric information on the nanometer scale. The emerging RIDME (relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement) technique offers improved sensitivity in di...

Copper is an important micronutrient, and it present in some protein structures, as well participate several biological processes. Due to its importance, ligands are used studied like carriers of copper the systems. This work has investigated affinity CuII by three interest: N,N,N,N’-tetrakis (2-pyridilmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN), triethylenetetramine (TRIEN), diethyldithiocarbamate (Et2DTC)...

Reported herein are the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions of two closely related dicationic iron tris(alpha-diimine) complexes. FeII(H2bip) (iron(II) tris[2,2'-bi-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine]diperchlorate) and FeII(H2bim) (iron(II) tris[2,2'-bi-2-imidazoline]diperchlorate) both transfer H* to TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoxyl) to yield the hydroxylamine, TEMPO-H, and the respecti...
