Two pyrazolate-bridged dicopper(II) complexes, [Cu2(LEP)2]2+ (1) and [Cu2(BLEP)(OH)]2+ (2), have been studied as catalysts for the autoxidation of 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol (DTBC). Kinetic studies by the method of initial rates in 1:1 CH3OH:H2O revealed a rate law which is first order in the binuclear copper catalyst and O2 and independent of DTBC concentration. Rate constants for the autoxidations catalyzed by the two complexes are 4.19 x 10(5) M-1 min-1 for [Cu2(BLEP)(OH)]2+ and 4.65 x 10(3) M-1 min-1 for [Cu2(LEP)2]2+. The superior catalytic activity of 2 is attributed to the presence of the binucleating ligand which maintains the integrity of the dicopper structure in the reduced form and allows a more favorable mode of interaction with O2.
