Abstract
The synthesis and X-ray structures of two novel copper(II) phosphinimine ac etate complexes, monomeric Cu(HNPPh3)(2)(OAc)(2) and dimeric [Cu(HNPPh3)(OA c)(2)](2), are described. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between acetate l igands and the imino hydrogen stabilizes Cu(HNPPh3)(2)(OAc)(2), whereas the copper(II) tetraacetato core of [Cu(HNPPh3)(OAc)(2)](2) possesses neither intra- nor intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
