Facile assembly of a Cu9 amido complex: a new tripodal ligand design that promotes transition metal cluster formation.
A tripodal amido ligand with a central non-chelating phosphorus donor allows for the facile assembly of a pentane soluble organometallic copper cluster with a central copper atom surrounded by a nonplanar chain of eight copper atoms and two terminal amido-copper bonds.
