CuI and CuII Me6T BCA BCS

Visualizations of Cu(I) and Cu(II) Complexes of the Me₆Trien Ligand
and Ligands Related to the BCA and BCS Ligands

Dean Wilcox's group at Dartmouth College use the Me₆Trien Ligand to deliver Cu(I) and the BCA and BCS Ligands to compete for Cu(I) during their experiments to measure the thermodynamics of Cu(I) binding to metalloproteins:
