Abstract
The synthesis of new, medium‐sized copper clusters with unusual structures and a successful combination of experiment and theoretical calculation—this is offered by the present communication. The reaction of CuAc with PR2R′ (R, R′ Et, Ph) and E(SiMe3)2 (E S, Se) leads to the clusters 1–4. Several of these might be intermediates in the synthesis of larger cluster complexes. The structure of [Cu12Se6(PH3)8] calculated by ab initio methods agrees with the structure of 1 within the limits of the methods. equation imageKeywords
