Abstract

Crystallization of [Cu(β-diketonate)(PPh3)2] (1a, β-diketonate=1-ferrocenyl-butane-1,3-dionato (= fb); 1b, = 1,3-diferrocenyl-propane-1,3-dionato (= dfp)) from ethanol, layered with a mixture of pentane/diethyl ether of ratio 1 : 1 (v/v) in air, afforded Cu(II)-oxo clusters [Cu10(fb)8(O)4(tmdd)2]·1.5Et2O (2) and [Cu7(dfp)6(O)2(OH)2(tmdd)]·2Et2O (3), respectively, in minor yield (tmdd = 1κ 2 C,3κ 2 C-tetramethyldisiloxane-1,3-diolato). These clusters were obtained in somewhat better yield when HOSiMe2OSiMe2OH was added to the crystallization mixtures. The molecular structures of 2 and 3 in the solid state are reported.

Notes

1In the context of this report the terminus “copper(II)–oxo clusters” refers to all multinuclear copper(II) complexes with at least one μ-O atom, independent whether the O atom corresponds to an O2 or an RO, respectively (R = any residue).
