Abstract
The preparation of new [MeC(CH2PPh2)(3)CuCl] 1 and its derivatives was carried out directly by mixing of CuCl and MeC(CH2PPh2)(3) ligand in dry THF, the neutral precursor 1 served to prepare [MeC(CH2PPh2)(3)Cu(NCCH3)]BF4 2 and [MeC(CH2PPh2)(3)Cu(PCH2Ph)(3)]BF4 3. These complexes are characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, EDS, H-1, C-13 and P-31{H-1}NMR, FAB-MS, TG/DTA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complex 1 crystallizes in the Orthorhombic unit cells with the space group Pna2(1). The structural behavior of MeC(CH2PPh2)(3) ligand in the formed complexes during the coordination reaction was monitored by P-31{H-1}NMR in CDCl3 at room temperature for the first time.
