Abstract
New phases containing tetrameric and pentameric mesitylcopper have bee n isolated from ether solvents and characterized with single-crystal X -ray diffraction. Mesitylcopper crystallized from toluene, which is a widely used reagent, has been found to contain one lattice solvent mol ecule. On the basis of these findings and cryoscopic molecular weight determinations, an equilibrium between a tetramer and pentamer in both etheral and aromatic solutions is proposed.
