Stabilisation of a highly reactive bis(mu-oxo)dicopper(III) species at room temperature by electronic and steric constraint of an unconventional nitrogen donor ligand.

Herein we present an innovative combination of EXAFSspectroscopy and resonant Raman scattering for the charac-terisation of the ground state and structural dynamics of athermally stable binuclear bisACHTUNGRE(m-oxo) dicopperACHTUNGRE(III) species.Peralkylated bis(guanidine)-based ligands are used in thesynthesis of this compound.
