Well‐Defined Highly‐Coordinated Copper(III) Iodide and Pincer Tris(trifluoromethyl)copper Complexes
Vladimir Motornov, Lutz Ackermann
Abstract
Abstract Copper(III) iodide and bromide complexes representing a unique combination of highly‐coordinated metal and soft polarizable anions were synthesized and fully characterized, including X‐ray crystallography. Ligand substitution in well‐defined highly‐coordinated copper complex PyCu(CF 3 ) 3 with pincer ligands was achieved to give formally octahedral copper(III) complexes.
