Abstract

The synthesis of the air-stable and highly soluble Cu(i)-acetonitrile salts [Cu(CH3CN)3.5][FAl] (1) ([FAl] = FAl{OC(C6F10)(C6F5)}3) and [Cu(CH3CN)4][TEF] (2) ([TEF] = Al{OC(CF3)3}4) is presented. Compound 1 reacts with the organometallic polyphosphorus complexes [Cp2Mo2(CO)4(η2-P2)] (A) and [(Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] (B) and salt 2 reacts with B to form one new (3) and three unprecedented (4-6) phosphorus-rich Cu(i) dimers with the general formulas [Cu2(μ,η1:η1-A)2(η2-A)2][FAl]2 (3), [Cu2(μ,η1:η1-A)2(η1-CH3CN)4][FAl]2 (4), [Cu2(μ,η1:η1-B)2(η1-CH3CN)4][FAl]2 (5) and [Cu2(μ,η1:η1-B)2(η1-CH3CN)4][TEF]2 (6).
