β¦ Synopsis
Two-pulse and three-pulse electron spin-echo techniques are used to study the molecular arrangement of the Cu(II)-(His). system in D,O solution at pD= 7.3. The 14N nuclei of the imidazole ring were selectively isotopically substituted by "N. From a computer-aided analysis of the nuclear modulation patterns in the time domain it is concluded that at low temperatures and in the presence of excess histidine the predominant species is in a configuration in which the cupric ion is surrounded by two imidazole nitrogen atoms, two amino nitrogen atoms and two solvent molecules.

## Abstract The ligand (N^1^β[3β(2βaminoethylimino)β1,1βdimethylbutyl]ethaneβ1,2βdiamine), L^1^, induces a high ligand field on the central Ni^II^ ion. Thus it is relatively easy to oxidize(Ni^II^L^1^)^2+^. However, the kinetic stability of the Ni^III^L^1^ complexes is considerably lower than that
