Clarification of the crystal structure of [(HC(Ph2PO)(3))(2)Cu](ClO4)(2)center dot 2H(2)O
EXAFS spectra of [(HC(Ph2PO)(3))(2)Cu](ClO4)(2). 2H(2)O have been measured at room temperature. These show that the CuO6 unit is tetragonally elongated, rather than having the compressed tetragonal geometry previously inferred from the X-ray crystal structure determination. [GRAPHICS]
