Description
Summary:Dioxygen activation at copper( i ) centres is of primary importance for the development of sustainable oxidation catalysis, but regeneration of copper( i ) centres after each catalytic cycle remains a major problem for multi-turn-over catalysis. This work demonstrates that an artificial reductase, made of flavin cofactors incorporated into a water soluble polymer, efficiently reduces a Cu( ii )TPA complex in the presence of NADH in water. An artificial reductase, made by incorporation of FMN cofactors into the locally hydrophobic micro-environment of a modified polyethyleneimine, catalytically reduces Cu( ii ) complexes in water.
