Resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy is frequently used to characterize copper site structure at atomic resolution. RR spectroscopy can probe and identify subtle differences in the stmcmres and the quanmm dynamics of MCO copper centers than other spectroscopic methods [69]. Cryogenic RR analysis is used to discern differences in Cu coordination vibrational modes between MCOs that otherwise cannot be resolved using spectral characteristics or X-ray crystallography. For example, RR spectroscopy resolves many differences between the homologous copper centers of
