Abstract
Differences in the electronic structures of Cu(I) and Cu(II) coordination compounds with the same ligand are studied. These compounds act as a model for blue copper proteins.
The experimental electron density distributions in two coordination compounds – one with a central Cu(I) atom and the other with Cu(II), coordinated by the same biphenyldiimino dithioether (bite) type of ligand – have been obtained from high-resolution X-ray reflection data to model the possible electron predisposition for the redox reaction in blue copper proteins. The bite ligand has been adapted to the conformation required by the central atom.
期刊介绍:
IUCrJ is a new fully open-access peer-reviewed journal from the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr).
The journal will publish high-profile articles on all aspects of the sciences and technologies supported by the IUCr via its commissions, including emerging fields where structural results underpin the science reported in the article. Our aim is to make IUCrJ the natural home for high-quality structural science results. Chemists, biologists, physicists and material scientists will be actively encouraged to report their structural studies in IUCrJ.
