Crystal and molecular structure of a new type of tetranuclear mixed valence copper complex: Cu4Ac6(Ph3P)4(Ac = O2CMe)

Abstract: The crystal structure of C U ~A C ~( P ~~P ) ~ comprises centrosymmetrical molecules, each of which consists of a dimeric unit of Cu2Ac4/ similar to that in the structure of copper(ii) acetate monohydrate, with the copper(]) co-ordinated through the oxygen atom of the acetate group in both axial CuAc(PhsP)2 units.The fact that triphenylphosphine (Ph3P) has a reductive influence on Cu" compounds is well known. Thus Cul complexes CuAc(Ph3P), (n = 2 or 3)1 were prepared by the Recei,ved, 23rd November 1983; Corn.

“…As mentioned before, initially a pink solution developed of compound 1, yielding a pink species with λ max ) 540 nm (Figure 4). We suggest that this might indicate substitution of the coordinated nitrile ligands by PPh 3 within the hydroperoxide complex (Scheme 5); although PPh 3 favors copper(I) ligation, it does bind Cu-(II) ions [52][53][54] and the excess (10-fold) PPh 3 would drive the reaction. This species may then slowly (over days at -80 °C, Figure 4) undergo O-O bond cleavage to yield a dicopper(II) coordinated phenoxyl radical red species with λ max ) 440 nm (Scheme 5); we suggest this possibility since Michel and co-workers 55 recently described a dicopper(II) phenoxyl radical complex with dinucleating ligand very similar to PD′O -(with quartet ground state), in fact possessing a 440 nm absorption.…”

“…Examples of mixed valence copper complexes are plentiful. However, most of the previously reported mixed valence copper complexes involve bidentate or multidentate ligands as the bridging ligand for the Cu(II) and Cu(I) centers. Only a few examples of mixed valence copper complexes where the Cu(II) and Cu(I) centers are linked together via monodentate halide ligands have been reported. 2d,, According to the crystal structure, compound 2 would belong to the class I mixed valence copper complexes, where there are distinct geometries for Cu(II) and Cu(I) ions and the unpaired electron is localized on the Cu(II) center. If compound 2 indeed behaves like a class I compound, based on previous studies, one would expect that the copper(II) ion has similar electronic structures in 1 and 2 , since the coordination environment of the Cu(II) ion in both compounds is essentially identical.…”

“…Efforts were made to further distinguish these three classes of mixed valence copper complexes by their electronic properties, in addition to the copper geometry. While it has been well documented that class II and class III compounds usually display significant d−d interactions and characteristic d → d charge transfer bands between the Cu(I) and Cu(II) centers, 1e, causing the intense color of these compounds, there have been few reports supporting the presence of perturbation by a Cu(I) ion to the electronic structure of a Cu(II) ion in a class I environment. , Recently, we have discovered a new mixed valence copper complex Cu II (Me 5 dien)Cl 2 (Cu I Cl) ( 2 ) (Me 5 dien = N , N , N‘ , N‘ , N‘‘ -pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) with a distinct class I structure. This compound can be obtained readily via the reaction of Cu II (Me 5 dien)Cl 2 ( 1 ) with Cu I Cl in a 1:1 ratio.…”
