| Abstract: | The complex of CU(CH3CHCOO)2(OPph)]2 has been synthesized and its X-ray crystal structure determined at room temperature, M = 975.96, tetragonal, space group: 141/a(#88), Dx = 1.39 g/ cm3, The final R is 0.067 for 2087 independent observed reflections with 1 > 3α(I). The molecule has an inversion center on the middle of the Cu? Cu axis. The bond-length of the Cu? Cu is 2.61/(2) Å. The coordinate polyhedron of Cu corresponds to a tetragonal bipyramid. The angle of Cu? O? P is significantly smaller than that of its adducts Cu(O2CR)2L]2. |
