title: Novel Cu(I) dinuclear complexes containing mu2-eta(2),eta(2)-type benzoquinone ligand.
abstract: Novel Cu(I) complexes containing a mu2-eta2,eta2-type benzoquinone ligand have been synthesized and crystallographycally characterized. These complexes are synthesized by the redox reaction of a copper-quinonoid pair and may indicate a significant intermediate in the Cu-BQ catalytic system. Moreover, this study is regarded as one of the good examples in the Cu(I)-olefin family of enhanced pi-back-donation.
