Crystal and molecular structure of the adduct between dichlorodiaqua-copper(II) and triphenylphosphine oxide
Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of Cu(OPPh3)4(H2O)2Cl2 shows that the compound is an adduct of dichlorodiaquacopper(II) and triphenylphosphine oxide; the adduct unit is formed by one CuCl2(H2O)2 square-planar complex unit and four molecules of triphenylphosphine oxide which are bonded to the comlplex unit by hydrogen bonds.
