Characterization of imidazolate-bridged Cu(ii)–Zn(ii) heterodinuclear and Cu(ii)–Cu(ii) homodinuclear hydroperoxo complexes as reaction intermediate models of Cu,Zn–SOD
Abstract
Imidazolate-bridged Cu(II)–Zn(II) heterodinuclear and Cu(II)–Cu(II) homodinuclear hydroperoxo complexes are generated in the reactions between imidazolate-bridged heterodinuclear and homodinuclear complexes and H2O2 in the presence of triethylamine base and characterized spectroscopically as reaction intermediate models of Cu,Zn–SOD.
