Abstract

Complexes of CuI with tertiary phosphine chalcogenides are described. CuI reacts with Ph3PS in MeCN/CH2Cl2 to form {CuI(Ph3PS)(MeCN)} and CuCl reacts with 1,2-ethylene-bis(tertiary phosphine selenide) {dpeSe2} in MeCN to yield {CuCl(dpeSe2)}. Both compounds exist as halogen-bridged centrosymmetric dimers: [Cu2(μ-I)2-(Ph3PS)2(MeCN)2] (1) and [Cu2(μ-Cl)2(dpeSe2)2] (2) respectively. Compound (1) has almost symmetric Cu—I bonds, d(Cu—I) = 2.6503(8) Å and d(Cu—I′) = 2.7196(9) Å, and each Cu is further bonded to a S atom [d(Cu—S) = 2.3444(13) Å] from Ph3PS and to a N atom [d(Cu—N) = 2.030(5) Å] from MeCN. Compound (2) has unequal Cu—Cl bonds, 2.6390(19) and 2.2806(18) Å and nearly equal Cu—Se bonds [2.4042(11) and 2.4060(11) Å]. The geometry about each Cu center in both cases is distorted tetrahedral. The Cu—Cu bond distance in (2) is 3.249(2) Å as compared with 3.4141(16) Å in (1). MeCN is bonded strongly to CuI as the excess of Ph3PS failed to remove it from the coordination sphere. Compound (2) represents the first structurally characterised example of copper(I) with a bis(tertiary phosphine selenide) (dpeSe2) acting as a bridging ligand.
