Tn. Sorrell et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A CU(I) DIMER OF A TRIS(OXAZOLINE) LIGAND, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 210(1), 1993, pp. 87-90
The synthesis of a new tripodal tris(oxazoline) ligand, s[4,4-dimethyl
-2-(4,5-dihydrooxazolyl)]methylamine is described, and details of the
X-ray crystal structure of its Cu(I) complex are presented. The comple
x crystallizes as a dimer in the triclinic space group P1BAR. Each Cu(
I) ion is coordinated in a distorted trigonal geometry by two oxazolin
e groups from one tripod and a third oxazoline from the second ligand.
The Cu(I)-Cu(I) distance is 5.7 angstrom. The CO adduct of the comple
x exhibits v(CO)=2066 cm-1.
