Abstract
The mechanism of photochemical transformations of copper(II) heptafluo robutyrate in methanol is studied. The structure of products and inter mediate compounds is investigated. Photolysis occurs as a two-step pro cess. The first step involves changes in the coordination sphere of th e Cu(II) ion. The second step is photoreduction of Cu(II) forming meta llic copper and Cu(II) fluoride as a complex with methanol. In the pre sence of oxygen, the first step is reversible. A scheme of these proce sses is suggested.
