Blue copper protein analogue: synthesis and characterization of copper complexes of the N<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub> macrocycle 1,8-dithia-4,11-diazacyclotetradecane
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To improve understanding of copper at the active site of Type 1 copper proteins, Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes of 1,8-dithia-4,11-diazacyclotetradecane, shown in , have been successfully isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. In these compounds, both Cu(I) and Cu(II) are centered in the plane of the macrocycle containing two sulphur and two nitrogen heteroatoms comprising the distorted tetrahedral/square planar coordination geometry. The UV/VIS spectra, electrochemistry and EPR properties have been obtained for the Cu(II) complex 2. Three absorption bands at 295 nm, 354 nm, and 545 nm are observed in aqueous solution at a pH of 5. These bands have been assigned to the N → Cu(II) and S → Cu(II) charge transfer bands and the d-d transitions respectively. The Cu(I/II) redox midpoint potential of complex 2 in CH3CN is +403 mV versus NHE.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
