Complexes of copper(I) acetate. Part I. Complexes with σ-donor ligands

Abstract
Reactions of copper(I) acetate with various nitrogen-, phosphorus-, arsenic-, sulphur-, and selenium-donor ligands have been studied. With unidentate donors, either [Cu(O2CMe)L3](L = thiourea or selenourea) or [Cu(O2CMe)L2](L = Ph3P or imidazoline-2-thione) are formed. With the bidentate donors, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline. Ph2PCH2PPh2, Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2(dppe), or Ph2AsCH2CH2AsPh2(dpae) complexes of the type [Cu(O2CMe)(bidentate)] can be isolated. With dppe and dpae further complexes may be produced by varying the reaction conditions, viz. [{Cu(O2CMe)}2(dppe)3] and its benzene solvate, and [Cu(O2CMe)(dpae)2]. A further type, [{Cu(O2CMe)}2(bidentate)], thought to involve bridging ligand molecules, has been isolated using 2,5-dithiahexane or 2,2′-bipyridyl.
