title: Dioxygen activation by a neutral beta-diketiminato copper(I) ethylene complex.
abstract: The synthesis and structure of two thermally stable neutral beta-diketiminato copper(I) olefin complexes are presented along with the structure of a Cu(II)2(mu-OH)2 dimer that results from the reaction of the Cu(I) ethylene complex with O2 via the proposed intermediacy of a Cu(III)2(mu-O)2 species.
