Abstract
C-F bonds are one of the most inert functionalities. Nevertheless, some [Cu2O2]2+ species are able to defluorinate-hydroxylate ortho-fluorophenolates in a chemoselective manner over other ortho-halophenolates. Albeit it is known that such reactivity is promoted by an electrophilic attack of a [Cu2O2]2+ core over the arene ring, the crucial details of the mechanism that explain the chemo- and regioselectivity of the reaction remain unknown, and it has not being determined either if CuII2(η2:η2-O2) or CuIII2(μ-O)2 species are responsible for the initial attack on the arene. Herein, we present a combined theoretical and experimental mechanistic study to unravel the origin of the chemoselectivity of the ortho-defluorination-hydroxylation of 2-halophenolates by the [Cu2(O)2(DBED)2]2+ complex (DBED = N,N'-di-tert-butylethylenediamine). Our results show that the equilibria between (side-on)peroxo (P) and bis(μ-oxo) (O) isomers plays a key role in the mechanism, with the latter being the reactive species. Furthermore, on the basis of quantum-mechanical calculations, we were able to rationalize the chemoselective preference of the [Cu2(O)2(DBED)2]2+ catalyst for the C-F activation over C-Cl and C-H activations.

Abstract
To obtain mechanistic insights into the inherent reactivity patterns for copper(I)-O2 adducts, a new cupric-superoxo complex [(DMM-tmpa)Cu(II)(O2(•-))](+) (2) [DMM-tmpa = tris((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)amine] has been synthesized and studied in phenol oxidation-oxygenation reactions. Compound 2 is characterized by UV-vis, resonance Raman, and EPR spectroscopies. Its reactions with a series of para-substituted 2,6-di-tert-butylphenols (p-X-DTBPs) afford 2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DTBQ) in up to 50% yields. Significant deuterium kinetic isotope effects and a positive correlation of second-order rate constants (k2) compared to rate constants for p-X-DTBPs plus cumylperoxyl radical reactions indicate a mechanism that involves rate-limiting hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). A weak correlation of (k(B)T/e) ln k2 versus E(ox) of p-X-DTBP indicates that the HAT reactions proceed via a partial transfer of charge rather than a complete transfer of charge in the electron transfer/proton transfer pathway. Product analyses, (18)O-labeling experiments, and separate reactivity employing the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical provide further mechanistic insights. After initial HAT, a second molar equiv of 2 couples to the phenoxyl radical initially formed, giving a Cu(II)-OO-(ArO') intermediate, which proceeds in the case of p-OR-DTBP substrates via a two-electron oxidation reaction involving hydrolysis steps which liberate H2O2 and the corresponding alcohol. By contrast, four-electron oxygenation (O-O cleavage) mainly occurs for p-R-DTBP which gives (18)O-labeled DTBQ and elimination of the R group.

Abstract
The present study analyzed binding of Cu2+ to tetrapeptides in water solution at several levels of theoretical approximation. The methods used to study the energetic and structural properties of the complexes in question include semiempirical hamiltonians, density functional theory as well as ab initio approaches including electron correlation effects. In order to shed light on the character of interactions between Cu2+ and peptides, which are expected to be mainly electrostatic in nature, decomposition of interaction energy into physically meaningful components was applied.

Abstract
The reactivity of copper complexes of three different second-generation bispidine-based ligands (bispidine = 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane; mono- and bis-tetradentate; exclusively tertiary amine donors) with dioxygen [(reversible) binding of dioxygen by copper(I)] is reported. The UV-vis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, and vibrational spectra (resonance Raman) of the dioxygen adducts indicate that, depending on the ligand and reaction conditions, several different species (mono- and dinuclear, superoxo, peroxo, and hydroperoxo), partially in equilibrium with each other, are formed. Minor changes in the ligand structure and/or experimental conditions (solvent, temperature, relative concentrations) allow switching between the different forms. With one of the ligands, an end-on peroxodicopper(II) complex and a mononuclear hydroperoxocopper(II) complex could be characterized. With another ligand, reversible dioxygen binding was observed, leading to a metastable superoxocopper(II) complex. The amount of dioxygen involved in the reversible binding to Cu(I) was determined quantitatively. The mechanism of dioxygen binding as well as the preference of each of the three ligands for a particular dioxygen adduct is discussed on the basis of a computational (density functional theory) analysis.

Abstract
In this paper, we report, for the first time, a plausible full reaction pathway for the activation of O(2) by a tetraazamacrocyclic monocopper(I) complex and for the subsequent intramolecular alkylic hydroxylation to yield the alkoxide product. This theoretical insight offers remarkable support to the fundamental hypothesis in the field that a hydroperoxo complex of the type Cu(II)OOH intermediate is the key intermediate in this class of reactions. Overall, we give insight into an intramolecular alkylic C-H bond activation due to the O(2) binding to copper(I) with an end-on eta(1)-O(2) ligation. The loss of a water molecule involves the final substrate oxygenation. The complex we consider is a biomimetic of several systems of biological relevance, such as amine oxidases, peptidylglycine-alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase, and dopamine-beta monooxygenases.
