Abstract
Built-in pi-alkene functionalities have been found to yield homoleptic copper(I) phenoxide and alkoxide clusters exhibiting tetrameric cuban e-or hexameric ribbon-shaped structures. While tetrameric o-allylpheno xocopper(I) (1) is remarkably stable, retains its structure in solutio n, and resists carbonylation, hexameric methylbutenoxocopper(I) (2) di ssolves in such a way that era-bridged copper(I) is retained, whereas pi-alkene-copper(I) coordination is destroyed, leaving copper(I) free to accept carbon monoxide as a ligand.
