Abstract

The high preference of phenylazoacetaldoxime, MeC([=NOH)N[=NPh (HL), for copper(I) is rationalised in terms of electronic and steric factors. The complex [Cu2(HL)2(L)2](1) undergoes a one-electron oxidation at ∼0.8 V vs. saturated calomel electrode to an unstable CuIICuI species. Tertiary phosphines displace HL from (1) affording [CuL(PR3)2][R = Ph (2a) or C6H4Me-p(2b)]. (2a) reacts with HCl to form [{Cu(PPh3)Cl}4] and with HClO4 to give the complex [Cu(HL)(PPh3)2(ClO4)]. All complexes having the chelated CuL or Cu(HL) fragment are shown to have a characteristic low-energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transition (700–900 nm).
