| Abstract: | Two copper(I) complexes of compositions Cu(HL)I]2 · EtOH ( 1 ) and Cu(HL)3]I · MeOH ( 2 ) were synthesized via the reactions of HL HL = 2(4,5‐diphenyl‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine] and CuI in EtOH and MeOH, respectively, under solvothermal conditions. The complexes were characterized by X‐ray single crystal diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are catalytically active towards ketalization reaction, giving various ketals under mild conditions. |
