At -90 °C in acetone, a stable hydroperoxo complex [(BA)Cu(II)OOH](+) (2) (BA, a tetradentate N(4) ligand possessing a pendant -N(H)CH(2)C(6)H(5) group) is generated by reacting [(BA)Cu(II)(CH(3)COCH(3))](2+) with only 1 equiv of H(2)O(2)/Et(3)N. The exceptional stability of 2 is ascribed to internal H-bonding. Species 2 is also generated in a manner not previously known in copper chemistry, by adding 1.5 equiv of H(2)O(2) (no base) to the cuprous complex [(BA)Cu(I)](+). The broad implications f ...[more]
