Cuprous ion chelation
« on: August 07, 2011, 02:45:24 PM »
I posted this over in the O-Chem section, with no responses, so I'm hoping it was just the wrong section...

I'm trying to determine if Cu1+ can also be chelated by N-acetylcysteine amide.  Literature from 2004 reports it can chelate Cu2+.  Obviously the altered oxidation state will change the geometry, so I'm assuming the answer is "No"...which really sucks for me.  I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Any help guys ?

Actually, the stability of Cu+ in an aqueous solution is also to be taken into account. Cu+ easily disproportionates to Cu and Cu2+ in aqueous solutions
