title: A tris(mu-hydroxy)tricopper(II) complex as a model of the native intermediate in laccase and its relationship to a binuclear analogue.
abstract: The reaction of a copper(I) complex with a sterically demanding secondary diamine ligand and O2 yields a tris(mu-hydroxy)tricopper(II) complex. This complex is a structural model of the proposed native intermediate in multicopper oxidases, with interesting structural, magnetic, and solution properties.
