Three Stryker-type copper hydride nanoclusters ([CuH]6) were synthesized. Variations in the electron-donating properties of phosphine ligands affect the hydrogenation reaction and reduction process activity of [CuH]6.
This review provides an overview on recent developments in transition-metal-catalysed intermolecular saturated C(sp3)–N(sp3) bond-forming reactions. Moreover, limitations and perspectives on emerging opportunities in this area are also discussed.
A stable Cu(I)-carboxylate MOF is fabricated by ascorbic acid reduction, which breaks HSAB theory and achieves in situ phase transitions. The resultant Cu2H2DOBDC acting as a CuAAC catalyst exhibited superior catalytic performance.
This study reveals Cu(II) outcompetes metal ions for SARS-CoV-2 spike peptides. Redox-active complexes generate ROS forming i.e. α-aminoadipic acid-COVID-19 biomarker.
A cryoEM structure of ammonia monooxygenase in native membranes reveals for the first time simultaneous occupancy of the active site CuC and CuD centers, facilitated by an endogenous lipid.
