Diversity of oxidation state in copper complexes with phenolate ligands

Abstract

The phenoxyl radical binding copper complexes have been widely developed and their detailed geometric and electronic structures have been clarified. While many one-electron oxidized CuII–phenolate complexes have been reported previously, recent studies of the Cu–phenolate complexes proceed toward elucidation of the complexes with other oxidation states, such as the phenoxyl radical binding CuI complexes and CuIV–phenolate complexes in the formal oxidation state. This Perspective focuses on new aspects of the properties and reactivities of various Cu-phenolate and Cu–phenoxyl radical complexes with emphasis on the relationship between geometric and electronic structures.
