44. Note that the co-ligands are not identical in all structural, spectroscopic, and electrochemical experiments, neither are they in the aziridination experiments described; note also thai the substituents of the aromatic rings also lead to a variation of the nucleophilicity of the donors, and this obviously also influences the relative stability of the three possible Jahn-Teller isomers.

46. Usually. (bispidine)copper(II) complexes contain coordinated or crystal water owing to their syntheses; also, these complexes are usually very hygroscopic.
