Number of molecules in the asymmetric unit.

The criteria for assigning a copper(II) or copper(I) state were informed by structures where both states have been characterized (Gudmundsson et al., 2014). The electron density of the equatorial exogenous ligand to the copper (from weighted 2F obsF calc) should be more than 2σ with more than 0.5 occupancy and a distance to the copper of less than 2.4 Å, with similar criteria applying to the exogenous axial ligand, although with a distance of 2.8 Å. In structures where a distorted geometry is observed because of significant steric effects (most AA10 members), structures with a single exogenous ligand within 2.5 Å distance are taken as copper(II). The occupancy of the metal is 1.00 if no other value is indicated. If there is significant metal-site disorder with characteristics that could fit both states, the site is described as copper(II)/copper(I). When the copper occupancy was lower than 0.5, no oxidation state was assigned.
