Reaction of [NBu<sub>4</sub>][LCu<sup>II</sup>OH] with excess ROOH (R = cumyl or tBu) yielded [NBu<sub>4</sub>][LCu<sup>II</sup>OOR], the reversible one-electron oxidation of which generated novel species with [CuOOR]<sup>2+</sup> cores (formally Cu<sup>III</sup>OOR), identified by spectroscopy and theory for the case R = cumyl. This species reacts with weak O-H bonds in TEMPO-H and 4-dimethylaminophenol (<sup>NMe2</sup>PhOH), the latter yielding LCu(OPh<sup>NMe2</sup>), which was also prepared ...[more]
