Oxidative nitrogen ⋯ nitrogen coupling of nitriles at a dicopper site and the structure of a pentanuclear copper–triazolyl complex containing two-co-ordinate and three-co-ordinate copper(I)
Abstract
Reaction of a di-copper(II) complex of a macrocyclic ligand with acetonitrile in the presence of O2 and H2O affords a pentanuclear complex containing two-co-ordinate and three-co-ordinate copper(I) atoms linked via triply bridging 3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolate groups.
