Delocalized mixed-valence bi- and trinuclear complexes with short Cu-Cu bonds.
Two mixed-valence copper complexes were synthesized with ligands N-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide (Hpmac) and N,N'-(2-methyl-2-pyridylpropan-1,3-diyl)bis(acetamide) (H2pp(ac)2). Dimer [Cu2(pmac)2]OTf and trimer [Cu3(pp(ac)2)2].NaOTf both contain fully delocalized, mixed-valence Cu(1.5)Cu(1.5) moieties.
