Abstract

The mixed-valence supramolecular product di-μ2-acetone-di-μ3-trifluoroacetato-deca-μ2-trifluoroacetato-octacopper(I)dicopper(II), [Cu10(C2F3O2)12(C3H6O)2] or {[Cu(I)4(O2CCF3)4]2-{μ2-OC(CH3)2}2-[Cu(II)2(O2CCF3)4]}, was prepared by co-deposition of two building units, namely a bis-acetone adduct of [Cu(II)2(O2CCF3)4] and a very electrophilic tetranuclear [Cu(I)4(O2CCF3)4] complex. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the compound with a total of ten independent Cu atoms. Acetone molecules serve as bridges between the [Cu(II)2(O2CCF3)4] and [Cu(I)4(O2CCF3)4] units. Additionally, the tetracopper(I) trifluoroacetate units are involved in intermolecular Cu···O interactions, forming a layered two-dimensional network in the extended structure.

Keywords: bridging acetone ligands; co-deposition method; copper(I); copper(II); crystal structure; gas-phase supramolecular synthesis; mixed-valence copper units; trifluoroacetate.
