Dtt. Tran et Jf. Corrigan, Synthesis and characterization of tris(trialkylphosphine)copper(I)trimethylsilylchalcogenolates, ORGANOMETAL, 19(24), 2000, pp. 5202-5208
The copper-chalogenolates (R3P)(3)Cu-ESiMe3 (E = S, 1; Se, 2; Te, 3; R = Et
, a; Pr-n, b) have been prepared in high yield from (R3P)(3)CuOAc and E(SiM
e3)(2) at low temperatures. Complexes 1-3 contain a pendant -SiMe3 moiety b
onded to a chalcogen center. These copper-chalcogenolates are clear, colorl
ess, low-melting-point solids and have been characterized by single-crystal
crystallographic and spectroscopic methods.
