They exhibit two consecutive reversible one-electron reductions assigned to the CuIICuII ® CuICuII ® CuICuI cathodic processes. The results suggest that, in solution, phenanthroline does not coordinate to the metal in complex 1, but its H-bonding interaction with the water ligands can be preserved.engRobson type macrocyclic dicopper(II) complexes1,10-phenanthrolinecyclic voltammetrycontrolled potential electrolysisjournal article10.4152/pea.201504201
