On the Way to a Trisanionic {Cu3O2} Core for Oxidase Catalysis: Evidence of an Asymmetric Trinuclear Precursor Stabilized by Perfluoropinacolate Ligands CuI complexes of the form K[(R3P)Cu(pinF)], in which (pinF)2− is the bidentate, oxygen‐donating ligand perfluoropinacolate, were synthesized and characterized. Low‐temperature oxygenation of the K[(R3P)Cu(pinF)(PR3)] species resulted in a trisanionic bis(μ3‐oxo) trinuclear copper(II,II,III) core characterized […]
