Spectroscopic investigations, along with stopped-flow kinetics, reveal that low-temperature oxygenation of III 1͞2 leads to rapid formation of a heme-superoxo species (F8)Fe - ؊ (O2 ) (3), whether or not 2 is present. Complex 3 subsequently re- ؊ III 2 II Me2N ؉ acts with 2 to form [(F8)Fe –(O2 )–Cu (L )] (4), which thermally III II Me N ؉ converts to [(F8)Fe –(O)–Cu (L 2 )] (5), which has an unusually bent (Fe–O–Cu) bond moiety. Tridentate chelation, compared with CHEMISTRY tetradentate, is shown to dramatically lower the (O–O) values ob- served in 4 and give rise to the novel structural features in 5.
