Jmk. Gebbink et al., NOVEL MOLECULAR RECEPTORS CAPABLE OF FORMING CU-2-O-2 COMPLEXES - EFFECT OF PREORGANIZATION ON O-2 BINDING, Chemical communications, (4), 1997, pp. 389-390
Novel biomimetic copper(I) receptors react with O-2 to form metastable
O-2 complexes and the rate of these reactions depends on the preorgan
ization of the ligands.
