Dioxygen Reduction at a Cu(I) Complex Supported by a Macrocyclic N 3 O Ligand System

ABSTRACT Cu I (14 TMCO) ( 1 ), involving a N 3 O‐macrocycle, reacts with O 2 at cryogenic temperatures to yield an end‐on peroxodicopper(II) species. The N 4 ‐analogue Cu I (14‐TMC) ( 2 ) remains unreactive under similar conditions. 2 contains an average short Cu─N bond length, r...
