The lipophilic, monocationic copper(II) complex of the diiminedioxime ligand 2,10-di-n-butyl-3,9-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundeca-1,3,8,10-tetraen-1,11-dione dioxime was synthesized and labeled with 64Cu. The biological properties of the 64Cu-labeled complex were measured in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, the complex shows uptake by the heart similar to that of 99mTc-tetrofosmin. In vitro, its uptake by multidrug resistant and non-resistant MES-SA tumor cells parallels that of 99mTc-MIBI, a well-characterized marker of multidrug resistance. These results suggest that this class of copper complexes may form the basis for the development of a 64Cu PET radiopharmaceutical for the functional imaging of multidrug resistance and/or myocardial perfusion.

Two homoleptic copper(II) complexes [Cu(L1) ] and [Cu(L2) ] with anionic redox-active ligands were synthesised, one with urea azine (L1) and the other with thio-urea azine (L2) ligands. One-electron oxidation of the complexes initiates an unprecedented redox-induced electron transfer process, leading to monocationic copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1) ] and [Cu(L2) ] with two oxidised ligands. While [Cu(L1) ] is best described as a Cu complex with two neutral radical ligands that couple antiferromagnetically, [Cu(L2) ] is a Cu complex with two clearly different ligand units in the solid state and with a magnetic susceptibility close to a diamagnetic compound.

Three new thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) - as triapine analogues bearing a redox-active phenolic moiety at the terminal nitrogen atom were prepared. Reactions of - with CuCl·2HO in anoxic methanol afforded three copper(II) complexes, namely, (), [ (), and (), in good yields. Solution speciation studies revealed that the metal-free ligands are stable as - at pH 7.

A series of water-soluble copper(II) complexes based on 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) and mixed-ligands, containing PTA=O (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane-7-oxide) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Two types of complexes have been obtained, monocationic [Cu(NO)(O-PTA=O)(dmphen)][PF] (), [Cu(Cl)(dmphen)][PF] (), and neutral [Cu(NO)(dmphen)] (). The solid-state structures of all complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Using a potentially tridentate o-aminophenol-based redox-active ligand HL (2-[2-(benzylthio)phenylamino]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) in its deprotonated form, [Cu(L)] has been synthesized and crystallized as [Cu(L)]·CHCl (1·CHCl). A cyclic voltammetry experiment (in CHCl; V vs. SCE (saturated calomel electrode)) on 1·CHCl exhibits two oxidative (E = 0.
