The new cupric superoxo complex [LCuII(O2鈥⑩垝)]+, which possesses particularly strong O鈭扥 and Cu鈭扥 bonding, is capable of intermolecular C鈭扝 activation of the NADH analogue 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH). Kinetic studies indicated a first-order dependence on both the Cu complex and BNAH with a deuterium kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 12.1, similar to that observed for certain copper monooxygenases.
