Polarographic behaviors of copper and cadmium complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine and ethylenediamine in acetonitrile have been investigated by the DC and AC polarography. The reduction processes are estimated as follows; $Cu(II)-bipy. \;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}\risingdotseq+0.1V}}\;Cu(I)-bipy.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.43V}}\;Cu(Hg)$$Cu(II)-en.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}}\;Cu(I)-en.\;complex\;{times}\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.56V}}\;Cu(Hg)$$Cu(II)-bipy. \;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.57V}}\;Cu(I)-bipy.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{2e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.97V}}\;Cd(I)-bipy\;complex$$Cu(II)-en.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=+0.05V}\;Cu(I)-en.\;complex{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.92V}}\;Cu(Hg)$ The limiting currents of all steps are controlled by diffusion. The number of ligand and the dissociation constant for Cu(Ⅰ)-bipy. complex were found to be n = 2 and $K_d=(1.5{\pm}0.1){\times}10^{-7}$, respectively.

We investigated the initial growth mode of Cu deposited on polyimide at room temperature using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We could find that when Cu is sputter-deposited on the polymide, Cu-N-O complex of strong interaction is mainly formed first, Cu-oxide of weak interaction is formed successively, and then finally metallic Cu grow. From these results, we could conclude that Cu/polyimide interface consists of Cu-N-O complex and Cu-oxide.

We investigated the initial growth mode of Cu deposited on polyimide at high temperature($350^{\circ}C$) using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We could find that when Cu is sputter-deposited on the polyimide at high temperature, Cu-C-N complex is formed first, Cu-N-O complex and Cu-oxide are mainly formed successively, and then funally metallic Cu grows. In the chemical reaction point of view, the interface of Cu/polyimide at high temperature is than that at room temperature.

Sulfur is one of the inorganic elements used by plants to develop and produce phytoalexin to resist certain diseases. This study reported a method for preparing a material for plant disease resistance. Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) stabilized in the chitosan-Cu²⁺ (CS-Cu²⁺) complex were synthesized by hydrolysis of Na₂S₂O₃ in an acidic medium. The obtained SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex consisting of 0.32% S, 4% CS, and 0.7% Cu (w/v), contained SNPs with an average size of ~28 nm as measured by transmission electron microscopy images. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex showed that SNPs had orthorhombic crystal structures. Interaction between SNPs and the CS-Cu²⁺ complex was also investigated by ultraviolet-visible. Results in vitro nematicidal effect of materials against Meloidogyne incognita showed that SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex was more effective in killing second-stage juveniles (J2) nematodes and inhibiting egg hatching than that of CS and CS-Cu²⁺ complex. The values of LC₅₀ in killing J2 nematodes and EC₅₀ in inhibiting egg hatching of SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex were 75 and 51 mg/l, respectively. These values were lower than those of CS and the CS-Cu²⁺ complex. The test results on the nematicidal effect against M. incognita on coffee pots showed that the SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex was 100% effective at a concentration of 150 mg/l. Therefore, the SNPs/CS-Cu²⁺ complex could be considered as a biochemical material with potential for agricultural applications to control root-knot nematodes.

The copper ion, Cu(II), binding sites for amyloid fragment Aβ1-16 (=Aβ16 ) were investigated to explain the biological activity difference in the Aβ16 aggregation process. The [M+Cu+(z-2)H]^z+ (z = 2, 3 and 4, M = Aβ16 monomer) and [D+Cu+(z-2)H]^z+ (z = 3 and 5, D = Aβ16 dimer) structures were investigated using electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Fragment ions of the [M+Cu+(z-2)H]^z+ and [D+Cu+(z-2)H]^z+ complexes were observed using collision-induced dissociation MS/MS. Three different fragmentation patterns (fragment "a", "b", and "y" ion series) were observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the (Aβ16 monomer or dimer-Cu) complex, with the "b" and "y" ion series regularly observed. The "a" ion series was not observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the [M+Cu+2H]⁴⁺ complex. In the non-covalent bond dissociation process, the [D+Cu+3H]⁵⁺ complex separated into three components ([M+Cu+H]³⁺, M³⁺, and M²⁺), and the [M+Cu]²⁺ subunit was not observed. The {M + fragment ion of [M+Cu+H]³⁺} fragmentation pattern was observed during the covalent bond dissociation of the [D+Cu +3H]⁵⁺ complex. The {M + [M+Cu+H]³⁺} complex geometry was assumed to be stable in the [D+Cu+3H]⁵⁺ complex. The {M + fragment ion of [M+Cu]²⁺} fragmentation pattern was also observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the [D+Cu+H]³⁺ complex. The {M + [y₉+Cu]¹⁺} fragment ion was the characteristic fragment ion. The [D+Cu+H]³⁺ and [D+Cu+3H]⁵⁺ complexes were likely to form a monomer-monomer-Cu (M-M-Cu) structure instead of a monomer-Cu-monomer (M-Cu-M) structure.

In this study, we have proposed a novel decomposition agent composed of Cu(II) and soluble chitosan for organophosphorus chemical agents. Compared to the autohydrolysis, the soluble Cu(II)-Chitosan complex hydrolyzed DFP more effectively. Results show that soluble Cu(II)-Chitosan complex enhances the hydrolysis of DFP in 4~6 folds compared to the autohydrolysis of DFP in buffer solution. This study provides the possibility of using this soluble Cu(II)-Chitosan complex as the environmental friendly decomposition agent which can substitute current DS-2 decomposition agent.

The Cu cation binding sites of $[Cu(I){\cdot}d(CpG){\cdot}d(CpG)-2H]^{-1}$ complex have been investigated to explain the $[Cu{\cdot}DNA]$ biological activity caused by the Cu association to DNA. The structure of $[Cu(I){\cdot}d(CpG){\cdot}d(CpG)-2H]^{-1}$ complex was investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The fragmentation patterns of $[Cu(I){\cdot}d(CpG){\cdot}d(CpG)-2H]^{-1}$ complex were analyzed by MS/MS spectra. In the MS/MS spectra of $[Cu(I){\cdot}d(CpG){\cdot}d(CpG)-2H]^{-1}$ complex, three fragment ions were observed with the loss of d(CpG), {d(CpG) + Cyt}, and {d(CpG) + Cyt + dR}. The Cu cation binds to d(CpG) mainly by substituting the $H^+$ of phosphate group. Simultaneously, the Cu cation prefers to bind to a guanine base rather than a cytosine base. Five possible geometries were considered in the attempt to optimize the $[Cu(I){\cdot}d(CpG){\cdot}d(CpG)-2H]^{-1}$ complex structure. The ab initio calculations were performed at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level.

The Cu-binding site in the $[Cu{\cdot}dCMP{\cdot}dCMP-H]^{1-}$ complex was investigated. The tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra of the [$[Cu{\cdot}dCMP{\cdot}dCMP-H]^{1-}$ parent ion showed $[dCMP{\cdot}Cu{\cdot}H_2PO_4+CONH]^{1-}$ fragment ions. Therefore, we propose that the Cu cation is simultaneously coordinated to the phosphate site and cytosine moiety in the stable geometry of the $[Cu{\cdot}dCMP{\cdot}dCMP-H]^{1-}$ complex. Three geometries for the complex were considered in an attempt to optimize the structure of the $[Cu{\cdot}dCMP{\cdot}dCMP-H]^{1-}$ complex. The ab initio calculations were performed at the $B3LYP/6-311G^{**}$ level.

A Cu(I) complex with an asymmetric TTF derivative (CET-EDTTTF) is prepared from the slow-diffusion method using CET-EDTTTF and Cu(I)Br solutions and characterized by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy. Structural analysis shows Cu(I) ions are tetrahedrally coordinated to two bridging bromides, one terminal bromide, and one S atom from CET-EDTTTF. Detailed geometrical and EPR analysis identified that the dimmer molecule contains [Cu$_2Br_4]^{2-}$ anion between two [CET-EDTTTF]$^+$ radical cations. Single-crystal EPR investigation of the complex reveals that the ganisotropy is unusually big, compared to those of the previously reported TTF+ cation radicals, implying that there is significant contribution of the Cu d-orbital to the HOMO of the complex.
