Ab initio calculations show that a possible mechanism for the photomagnetism in copper octacyanomolybdate compounds consists of the initial excitation of the diamagnetic Cu(II)-Mo(IV-CS) pair to a Cu(II)-Mo(IV-T) state, whose geometry relaxation stabilizes the magnetic doublet and quartet states.

The transition from low to high density 2D surface structures of copper porphyrins at a liquid/solid interface requires specific defects at which nearly all exchange of physisorbed molecules with those dissolved in the supernatant occurs.

Asymmetric allylic amination or oxidation can be achieved by reaction of an alkene with a peroxycarbamate catalysed by a chiral copper bis-oxazoline complex, and the reaction can be tuned to give either the amination or oxidation product by reagent choice.

The enantioselective, intermolecular hydroallylation of vinylarenes employing allylic phosphate electrophiles has been achieved through a copper hydride catalyzed process. The protocol described herein can be applied to a diverse set of vinylarene substrates and allows for the installation of the parent allyl group as well as a range of 2-substituted allylic fragments.

Mono-, di-, and trinuclear copper-azido moieties have been synthesized by varying the size of the countercations. [Bu4N]+ yielded a [Cu2(N3)6]2- copper-azido moiety in [Bu4N]2[Cu2(mu(1,1)-N3)2(N3)4], 1, and [Pr4N]+ yielded a [Cu3(N3)8]2- moiety in {[Pr4N]2[Cu3(mu(1,1)-N3)4(N3)4]}n, 2, in which symmetry-related [Cu3(N3)8]2- moieties are doubly mu(1,1)-azido bridged to form unprecedented infinite...

The interplay of exchange correlations and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) on the many-body spectrum of a copper phtalocyanine (CuPc) molecule and their signatures in transport are investigated. We first derive a minimal model Hamiltonian in a basis of frontier orbitals that is able to reproduce experimentally observed singlet-triplet splittings. In a second step SOI effects are included perturbat...

The title complex, [Cu(SO(4))(C(10)H(9)N(3))(CH(3)OH)], is a mononuclear species with the Cu(II) ion in a Jahn-Teller-distorted '4 + 1' square-pyramidal geometry. The basal plane is defined by the pyridyl N-atom donors of the bipyridyl-amine (bpa) ligand and two O-atom donors of the sulfate ligand. The coordination geometry is completed by the axial coordination of a methanol O-atom donor. The ...

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule which mediates lymphocyte binding to endothelial cells. The cloning of a mouse VAP-1 (mVAP-1) cDNA revealed that mVAP-1 is a novel 110/220 kDa transmembrane molecule with significant identity to copper-containing amine oxidases. In this work the nucleotide sequence and primary structure of the mVAP-1 gene was determine...
