The first binuclear copper(I) complex with a µ-1,1-N3 bridge, [Cu2(µ-Ph2Ppypz)2(µ-1,1-N3)][ClO4]·Et2O and [Cu2(µ-Ph2Ppypz)2(µ-1,1-SCN)] [ClO4] [Ph2Ppypz = 2-(diphenylphosphino)-6-(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine], which exhibits an unusual thiocyanate (µ-1,1-SCN) bridge, have been synthesised and characterised.
