Abstract: 

No doubt: The high‐quality crystal structure of [Cu(TMG₃tren)(O₂)]SbF₆
(see picture) presents the first unambiguous characterization of a
bioinorganic compound in which a dioxygen molecule coordinates end‐on to
a Cu^I ion. This species, which is best described as a
superoxo copper(II) complex, serves as a model complex for initially
formed Cu–O₂ adducts present in a variety of active sites of copper enzymes.
