A tetranuclear Cu II2Dy III2 coordination cluster as a Suzuki (C–C) coupling reaction promoter†
Abstract
The air-stable tetranuclear coordination cluster [CuII2DyIII2L4(NO3)2(CH3CN)2]·2(CH3CN), which can be obtained in high yield, promotes the Suzuki coupling reaction of phenylboronic acid with substituted aryl halides under environmentally benign conditions.
