Abstract: | Copper(I)-acetonitrile complexes are exceedingly useful starting materials for the synthesis of copper(I) complexes with polydentate ligands. To extend the utility of such chemistry to solution studies in relatively low-dielectric solvents (i.e., diethyl ether, toluene) and to aid in obtaining products amenable to X-ray diffraction studies, we have recently begun to employ counteranions such as B(C(6)F(5))(4)(-) for bioinorganic studies. Thus, the synthesis of Cu(MeCN)(4)]B(C(6)F(5))(4) (1) is presented. Its recrystallization from CH(2)Cl(2)/pentane yields the linear, two-coordinate complex Cu(MeCN)(2)]B(C(6)F(5))(4) (2), whose centrosymmetric X-ray structure shows that its Cu-N distance is significantly shorter than that in other two-coordinate Cu(I) complexes with nitrogen ligands or that in the tetrahedral complex Cu(MeCN)(4)]ClO(4). Infrared spectroscopy indicates interesting and diagnostically useful differences between the nu(CN) of 1 and 2. |
