Abstract
CuI(Py2NS) (1) is formed by addition of CuI to a solution of the pyridyl-thiol ligand N-(2-mercaptopropyl)- N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Py2NSH). Oxidation of complex 1 by air leads to the formation of CuII sulfinate and CuII sulfonate complexes, providing a model for the oxidative degeneration of copper−sulfur enzymes. Crystal structures were obtained for
