Galactose Oxidase models: 19F NMR as a powerful tool to study the solution chemistry of tripodal ligands in the presence of copper(II)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Oct 21:(39):4122-4. doi: 10.1039/b605852c. Epub 2006 Aug 22.

Abstract

In copper(ii) complexes of tripodal ligands, the protonation state of the phenol moiety, and its position (axial vs. equatorial), are easily assessed by (19)F NMR.
