Oxyhemocyanin (oxyHc) 1 and oxytyrosinase (oxyTy) 2 have a similar µ-η2: η2-peroxodicopper (II)(Cu2O2) structure2 in the active sites but show different functions, reversible O2-binding3 and O2-activation, 4 respectively (see Scheme 1). On the basis of the large difference of the Cu-Cu distances, 4.6 and 3.6 Å, for deoxyand oxyHc, respectively, it is supposed that O2 is released from oxyHc when the Cu-Cu distance is elongated. 2 The reaction of the µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex may be directed by various factors, such as the Cu-Cu distance, the Cu coordination geometry, and the electronic effect of the nitrogen donor ligand. However, despite excellent mechanistic studies on the reaction of the µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex, 5 what determines the direction, reversible O2-binding or O2-activation, has not been clearly shown. 2, 6 Thermally stable µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complexes [Cu (HB (3, 5-Me2pz) 3)] 2 (O2)(1) 7a, b and [Cu (HB (3, 5-iPr2pz) 3)] 2 (O2)(2) 7c were reported by Kitajima et al. as structural models of oxyHc and oxyTy but their O2-binding is irreversible. Therefore, to clarify the relationship between the structure of the µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex and the reversibility in the O2-binding a thermally stable µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex which realizes the reversible O2-binding is necessary. 8 First, we prepared a sterically hindered tripyridylmethane ligand, tris (6-methyl-2-pyridyl) methane (tripy). 9 Its µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex [Cu (tripy)] 2O2 ‚(PF6) 2 (3) is prepared by O2 addtion to a Cu (I) complex of tripy, but not stable at room temperature. Then, tripy is converted to 1, 2-bis [2-(bis (6-methyl-2-pyridyl) methyl)-6-pyridyl] ethane (L), which has two sterically hindered tripyridylmethane units connected by an ethylene spacer (see Scheme 2). L forms the µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex [Cu2O2 (L)](PF6) 2 (4). 10The half-life time of 4 in CH2Cl2 at 25 C is 25.5 h. To our knowledge, 4 is the most stable in all µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complexes reported so far. Although many dinucleating ligands11 have been synthesized with the expectation that those having six donor sets similar to imidazole groups in the active site of Hc would stabilize the µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 structure, such a high stability as 4 has never been attained. 4 is the first example of the room-temperature stable µ-η2: η2-Cu2O2 complex with a dinucleating ligand. Here, we describe the synthesis, crystal structure, and reversible O2-binding
