Abstract

Reaction of Ph2PCH2CH2S (2-C6H4NH2)(1) or Ph2PCH2CH2S (2-C6H4OMe)(2) with CuCl and AgSbF6 in the presence of THF affords {[Cu (1) THF](SbF6)} n (3) and {[Cu (2) THF](SbF6)} n (4). In the solid state, THF-inclusive 3 exists as a one dimensional zigzag coordination polymer in which each P–S–N ligand is connected to two copper (I)-centres. Both 3 and 4 are able to bind CO reversibly in solution or can be desolvated at 110° C in ...
