Abstract
X-irradiation of single crystals of several tri-coordinated Cu(I) monomer a nd dimer complexes studied by EPR revealed that Cu(I) monomer complexes for m Cu(II) complexes while X-irradiation of the Cu(I) dimer complexes has no such effect. The formation of Cu(II) complexes is attributed to the additio n of a radiogenic atom on the Cu(I) precursor. The absence of any structura l changes due to the X-irradiation of the Cu(I) dimer complexes is discusse d based on the electronic structure of these complexes. (C) 1999 Elsevier S cience B.V.
