Abstract
The reaction of the copper(II) complex [Cu(TCNE)]n with triphenylphosphine yields three different modes of incorporation of TCNE˙– into the products Cu(TCNE)(PPh3)31, [-(CN)Cu(PPh3)2(TCNE)Cu(PPh3)2-]n2 and [(PPh3)3Cu(CN)Cu(PPh3)3][TCNE]3. In 1, the TCNE˙– in 2, trans-N-bound TCNE˙– bridges alternate with CN bridges to produce a polymeric structure, and in 3 the TCNE˙– is un-coordinated.Keywords
