A solid performer : Chemo‐ and regioselective oxygenation of an organic moiety with O 2 in the solid state gives a Cu I complex and a four‐electron oxidized compound as final products (see scheme). A single Cu I center in interaction with O 2 mediates an even‐electron transfer process without the assistance of a redox cofactor and provides further support for a [CuO 2 ] + core as a reactive species allowing CH bond cleavage.
