title: Tetra-, di-, and mononuclear copper(I) complexes containing (S,S)-iPr-pybox and (R,R)-Ph-pybox ligands.
abstract: Tetranuclear [Cu4I4{(S,S)-iPr-pybox}2] (1) and dinuclear [Cu2Cl-{(S,S)-iPr-pybox}2][CuCl2] (2) copper(I) complexes have been synthesized by reaction of iPr-pybox with CuI and CuCl, respectively. Furthermore, dinuclear [Cu2(R-pybox)2][PF6]2 [R-pybox = (R,R)-Ph-pybox (3), (S,S)-iPr-pybox (4)] and mononuclear complexes [Cu(R-pybox)2][PF6] [R-pybox = (R,R)-Ph-pybox (5), (S,S)-iPr-pybox (6)] have been prepared by reaction of [Cu(MeCN)4][PF6] and the corresponding pybox. The structures of complexes 1-3 have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses.
