Zur Umsetzung von Kupfer(I)‐ und Kupfer(II)‐Salzen mit P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 ‐ die Festkörperstrukturen von {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuOClO3}ClO4, {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]Cu}ClO4, [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuONO2 und [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)2(C6H4CH2NMe2H+NO3‐‐2)]CuONO2

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.
