The preparation and physical characterization of two copper(I) complexes Cu
(HL)NO3 and [Cu(HL)(2)]NO3 . MeOH formed with a newly synthesized tridentat
e [S,N,P] HL = 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone ligand a
nd the crystal structure analysis of the latter have been carried out. An X
-ray study of [Cu(HL)(2)]NO3 . MeOH revealed a copper(I) ion coordinated te
trahedrally to S,N,P,P atoms donated by two HL ligands. One is tridentate [
S,N,P], whereas the second HL ligand is monodentate, ligating only its phos
phorus atom to the copper. The geometry around the four-coordinate Cu(I) is
comparable with Cu{N,S,P,X} tetrahedra (X = N, P, or S) retrieved from the
Cambridge Structural Database. In addition, with a restriction to Cu{N,P,X
,X} (X = C, N, P) tetrahedra - S is excluded - ca. 60 structures against th
ree or four cases were found to be maintained by Cu(I) ions substantiating
the principal role of the phosphorus ligands in the reduction of Cu(II) to
Cu(I).
