A dinuclear copper(ii) complex with photoswitchable catechol oxidation activity

Abstract

In this study, we report the first example of a photoswitchable copper complex with catechol oxidase activity. The distance between the two copper centres is optimal for catalytic catechol oxidation in the Z-configuration. Thus, the activity of the catalyst is increased compared to its E-configuration.
