The interaction between Cu(2+) ions and GSH molecules leads to the swift formation of the physiologically occurring Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex. Recently, we reported that this complex is able to reduce molecular oxygen into superoxide in a reversible reaction. In the present study, by means of fluorescence, luminescence, EPR and NMR techniques, we investigated the superoxide-generating capacity of the Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex, demonstrated the occurrence and characterized the chemical nature of the oxidized complex which is formed upon removing of superoxide radicals from the former reaction, and addressed some of the redox consequences associated with the interaction between the Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex, its oxidized complex form, and an in-excess of GSH molecules. The interaction between Cu(I)-[GSH](2) and added GSH molecules led to an substantial exacerbation of the ability of the former to generate superoxide anions. Removal of superoxide from a solution containing the Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex, by addition of Tempol, led to the formation and accumulation of Cu(II)-GSSG. Interaction between the latter complex and GSH molecules permitted the re-generation of the Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex and led to a concomitant recovery of its superoxide-generating capacity. Some of the potential redox and biological implications arising from these interactions are discussed.

Luminescent Cu complexes are an important class of coordination compounds due to their relative abundance, low cost and ability to display excellent luminescence. The title CuIPS-type binuclear complex, di-μ-iodido-bis[(thiourea-κS)(triphenylphosphine-κP)copper(I)], [CuI(CHNS)(CHP)], conventionally abbreviated as CuITPPTU, where TPP and TU represent triphenylphosphine and thiourea, respectively, is described. In this complex, each Cu atom adopts a CuIPS four-coordination mode and pairs of atoms are connected to each other by two μ-I ligands to form a centrosymmetric binuclear cluster.

Reaction of copper(I) iodide in pure 2-chloro-pyrazine leads to the formation of a few crystals of the title compound, [CuI(CHClN)] or (CuI)(2-chloro-pyrazine), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In its crystal structure, the Cu cations are each tetra-hedrally coordinated by two iodide anions and two 2-chloro-pyrazine ligands and are linked into binuclear complexes consisting of (CuI) rings located on centers of inversion. PXRD investigations of a few crystals obtained from the suspension indicate that the title compound is contaminated with a small amount of the 2-chloro-pyrazine-deficient compound CuI(2-chloro-pyrazine) already reported in the literature.

Metallophilic interactions, which are ubiquitous among d metal complexes with linear coordination geometries, can direct one-dimensional assembly. However, the ability of these interactions to manipulate chirality at the hierarchical level largely remains unknown. In this work, we unveiled the role of Au···Cu metallophilic interactions in directing the chirality of multicomponent assemblies.

[CuI(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)P(p-OCH-Ph)CHSarcosineGlycine] (1-MPSG), highly stable in physiological media phosphino copper(I) complex-is proposed herein as a viable alternative to anticancer platinum-based drugs. It is noteworthy that, 1-MPSG significantly and selectively reduced cell viability in a 3D spheroidal model of human lung adenocarcinoma (A549), in comparison with non-cancerous HaCaT cells. Confocal microscopy and an ICP-MS analysis showed that 1-MPSG effectively accumulates inside A549 cells with colocalization in mitochondria and nuclei.
