Abstract
The crystal structure of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphineoxido)ethane copper(II) chloride has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. The compound is the first structural determination of a CuCl2–phosphineoxide adduct and exhibits some very large distortions from the ideal tetrahedral symmetry. The Cl—Cu—O angle is 140.2° and the Cu—Cl distance of 2.195 Å is shorter than in other CuCl2 complexes.Keywords
