Abstract
The species existing in aqueous solution at pH 8.3 when copper(II) interacts with two equivalents of L-histidine has been studied by a variety of techniques. The evidence is consistent with a fluctuating type of coordination for the histidinato-copper(II) complex, which varies according to conditions and other coordinating ligands involved.
