Fully Reduced and Mixed-Valent Multi-Copper Aggregates Supported by Tetradentate Diamino Bis(thiolate) Ligands.

ABSTRACT: Tetradentate diamino bis(thiolate) ligands (l-N₂S₂(2-)) with saturated linkages between heteroatoms support fully reduced [(Cu(l-N₂S₂))₂Cu₂] complexes that bear relevance as an entry point toward molecules featuring the Cu₂^ICu₂^II(μ₄-S) core composition of nitrous oxide reductase (N₂OR). Tetracopper [(Cu(l-N₂(S^Me₂)₂))₂Cu₂] (l-N₂(S^Me₂H)₂ = N¹,N²-bis(2-methyl-2-mercaptopropane)-N¹,N²-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine) does not support clean S atom oxidative addition but undergoes Cl a
