Ligand effects on dioxygen activation by copper and nickel complexes: reactivity and intermediates.
Copper and nickel complexes having various active-oxygen species M n -O 2 ( n = 1 or 2), such as trans-(micro-1,2-peroxo)Cu (II) 2, bis(micro-oxo)M (III) 2, bis(micro-superoxo)Ni (II) 2, and ligand-based alkylperoxo-M (II) n , can be produced by a series of tetradentate tripodal ligands (TMPA analogues) containing sterically demanding 6-methyl substituent(s) on the pyridyl group(s), where TMPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine. Roles of the methyl substituent(s) for the formation of the active-oxygen species and their oxidation reactivities are reported.
