Abstract: | Copper(I) chloride reacted with lithium ketimides to form tetrameric homoleptic copper(I) ketimide complexes, [Cu(N=CR2)]4, where R = t-Bu or Ph. Mesityl copper reacted with excess 1-trimethylsilylmethyl-2,2,-dimethylhydrazine to give the mixed ligand complex (2,4,6-C6Me3H2)Cu4[N(SiMe3)NMe2]3. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that the three complexes have eight-member ring structures in which the ring has a hinged or butterfly shape. Although an eight-member ring structure is common for copper(I) amido, alkyl, and aryl clusters, the structure of [Cu(N=C-t-Bu2)]4 is unusual because the hinge angle is significantly smaller than is common, resulting in short Cu···Cu contacts compared to related complexes. |
