Cu(II/I)-Pyridinophane Complexes: O2 Reactivity and 64Cu PET Imaging Studies.
The redox versatility of copper between the Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxidation states is central to its function in a variety of biological processes, including electron transfer, oxygen transport, and redox catalysis by metalloenzymes. Motivated by these biological paradigms, we report the design and development of a new seri...
