Abstract

Reactions of 1, 3-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate,([HL1]( PF6), L1= 1, 3-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl) imidazolylidene) and 1, 3-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H- benzimidazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate ([HL2](PF6), L2= 1, 3-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl) benzoimidazolylidene) with cuprous oxide in acetonitrile readily yielded trinuclear complexes [Cu3 (L1) 3 (PF6) 3](1) and [Cu3 (L2) 3 (PF6) 3](2). Treatment of 1 with Ni ( ...
