 Isaac Garcia-Bosch, Anna Company, Jonathan R. Frisch, Miquel Torrent-Sucarrat, Mar Cardellach, Ilaria Gamba, Mireia Güell, Luigi Casella*, Lawrence Que, Jr.*, Xavi Ribas*, Josep M. Luis*, Miquel Costas* Unusual reactivity: A novel asymmetric dicopper complex gives rise to the asymmetric species 1 O2 having a μ-η1:η1-O2 mode. 1 O2 exhibits reactivity patterns not previously observed for symmetric analogues. It is unreactive in oxygen atom transfer reactions, but it can selectively bind phenolate and mediate its ortho hydroxylation, thereby demonstrating a conceptually different tyrosinase model with exquisite selectivity.
