The CuI salts [Cu(CH3 CN)4 ]PF and [Cu(oDF2 ]PF with the very weakly coordinating anion Al(OC(CF3 )3 )4 - (PF) as well as [Cu(NEt3 )2 ]PF comprising the unique, linear bis-triethylamine complex [Cu(NEt3 )2 ]+ were synthesized and examined as catalysts for the conversion of monophenols to o-quinones. The activities of these CuI salts towards monooxygenation of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (DTBP-H) were compared to those of [Cu(CH3 CN)4 ]X salts with "classic" anions (BF4 - , OTf- , PF6 - ), revealing an anion effect on the activity o
