N2  - Complexes of copper(II) of the type [CuAB] have been synthesized in which A is the anion of acetylacetone, salicylaldehyde, 8- hydroxyquinoline, or diethyl-dithiocarbamate, and B is the anion of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine. Examination of their spectral, magnetic, and solubility behaviour established them to be normal, molecular, copper(II) complexes.   Bis(2,9-dimethylphenanthroline)copper(I) amino-acidates were also prepared. Their spectra suggest that, in solution at least, no coordination of the amino acid to the copper(I) occurs.   Preliminary irradiation experiments, at 3080 &#506;, show that photo- reduction to copper(I) occurs in dimethylformamide solutions; the copper(I) complexes remained unchanged under the same conditions.
