Synthesis and characterization of a coupled binuclear Cu(I)/Cu(III) complex

J Am Chem Soc. 2010 Aug 11;132(31):10665-7. doi: 10.1021/ja1034667.

Abstract

The synthesis through reaction of a C(alpha),C(ortho) dilithiated phosphazene with CuBr and structural characterization of the first example of a binuclear mixed valence [Cu(I)(N(2))/Cu(III)(C(4))] complex showing a metal-metal bond, as well as its applications in cyclopropanation and oxidation reactions, are described.
