Abstract
Interest in binuclear copper compounds has continued to increase, stimulated partially by the presence of coupled two-copper centers having been invoked to account for the properties of certain copper proteins. Both mononuclear and binuclear model systems have been synthesised. Binuclear centers appear to undergo dominantly two-electron redox processes in proteins but the existence of redox intermediates at the dicopper center has on occasion been suggested, and ceruloplasmin in particular has yielded ambiguous n-values in potentiometric studies. Two examples of mixed valence dicopper molecules are known , and there is one example of overlapping sequential one-electron reductions for a binuclear system. We report here aspects of the redox chemistry of binuclear copper systems which undergo distinct one-electron reduction on the polarographic time scale. [1st paragraph]
