Today, Marcel Swart, Isaac Garcia-Bosch and co-workers report on catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols by copper complexes bearing redox-active ligands with tunable H-bonding groups. They describe the structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity of a family of copper complexes bearing bidentate redox-active ligands that contain H-bonding donor groups. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography shows that these tetracoordinate complexes are stabilized
