Abstract
The reactions of Cu(II) with 6,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin dih ydrochloride (H(4)DMP.2HCl) in CH3OH-CH3CN have been investigated by s pectroscopic methods. The redox reaction in the 1:1 Cu(II)-H(4)DMP.2HC l system has been established by detection of the protonated trihydrop terin radical (H(4)DMP(.+))nd its disproportionation products.
