Mononuclear copper(II)-hydroperoxo complex derived from reaction of copper(I) complex with dioxygen as a model of D beta M and PHM

A mononuclear copper(II)-hydroperoxo species has been generated by the reaction of Cu(I)-H(2)BPPA complex with dioxygen, which illustrates the enzymatic reaction process of the Cu-B site in the D beta M and PHM.
