Abstract

Abstract: A model compound approach to oxidized hemocyanin is described. The essential structural features of diamagnetism, 3.6-A copper-xpper separation, approximate tetragonal stereochemistry, imidazole ligation, and bridging groups are reproduced in the azide complex [Cu2 (L-Et)(N,)][BF4I2. HL-Et is the septadentate binucleating ligand N, N, N', N'- tetrakis (2-(1-ethylbenzimidazolyl))-2-hydroxy-1, 3-diaminopropane prepared in good ...
