Abstract
The reaction of Cu, Cu(BF4)(2), PPh3, and 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetraz ine (bptz) in the appropriate amounts gave the stable radical complex [(Ph3 P)(2)Cu(eta(4),mu-bptz)Cu(PPh3)(2)](BF4), whose crystal structure demonstra tes pi(Ph)/pi(bptz(.-))/pi(Ph) interactions and the localization of the unp aired electron in the central tetrazine ring.
