Fig. 9. Top: Plot relating the experimental Cu K pre-edge transition energy to the OVB-derived percent Cu(ii) character in the molecular ground states of complexes 1–4 and 8. The trendline was generated from the data points from complexes 1–4: y = 180 686 – 20.112x; R 2 = 0.98. Bottom: Plot relating the experimental Cu K pre-edge transition energy to the OVB-derived percent Cu(i) character in the molecular ground states of complexes 1–4 and 8. The trendline was generated from the data points from complexes 1–4: y = 21.895x – 196 607; R 2 = 0.97.
