[(L)Cu<sup>II</sup>(O<sub>2</sub><sup>•-</sup>)]<sup>+</sup> (i.e., cupric-superoxo) complexes, as the first and/or key reactive intermediates in (bio)chemical Cu-oxidative processes, including in the monooxygenases PHM and DβM, have been systematically stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding within a TMPA ligand-based framework. Also, gradual strengthening of ligand-derived H-bonding dramatically enhances the [(L)Cu<sup>II</sup>(O<sub>2</sub><sup>•-</sup>)]<sup>+</sup> reactivity toward h ...[more]
