Synthesis and Reactivity Study of Tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane Copper(I) Complexes Relating to the Copper Protein Active Site Modeling Complexes

Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas produced in large quantity by several industrial processes. Efficient means of eliminating N2O are therefore of interest. The denitrification enzyme nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), which reduces N2O to N2 and water , has recently been shown to contain an unprecedented [Cu4-µ4S] active site. Multinuclear copper sulfide compounds are known but have not been studied in the context of modeling N2OR or as N2O reduction catalysts. The synthesis of new tetranuclear [Cu4-µ4S] compounds is proposed to model the N2OR active site.The purpose of our research is to synthesize [Cu2-µ2S] complex, which original compound of [Cu4-µ4S] complex. This can be groundwork for mimicking the copper protein active site.
