Alkylisocyanide complexes of copper(I) with formula [Cu(CNR)(4)]BF4 [w
here R = 2-methoxyisobutyl and 2-(carbomethoxy)-2-methylethyl] were sy
nthesized by direct reaction of cuprous chloride with ligand. The stab
ility of solid complexes and their aqueous solutions were tested by HP
LC. Comparative studies were carried out on electronic, IR and H-1 NMR
spectroscopy. Crystal structures of [Cu(MIBI)(4)]BF4 and [Cu(CPI)(4)]
BF4 were determined from X-ray data and show a tetrahedral arrangement
of ligands around the central copper atom in both compounds. (C) 1997
