Structural and theoretical studies of a new Cu^I-Cu^I complex bearing bulky unsymmetrical benzamidinate Ligand

Abstract

Density functional theory(DFT) calculations unambiguously verify that there is little or no direct metal-metal bonding in the dinuclear copper(I) benzamidinate complex [Cu₂(L^RR′)₂](2){L^RR′=[PhC(NR)(NR′)]⁻(R= 2,6- ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, R′=SiMe₃)} with a short Cu-Cu distance[0.24454(4) nm].

Keywords

Copper(I) complex / Cu-Cu interaction / Benzamidinate / N-Ligand / Density functional theory
