Synthetic, Structural, and Theoretical Investigation of Guanidinate Complexes Containing Planar Cu-6 Cores
The addition of diethylcyanamide to a tetra an solution of lithium dialkylamide LiN(CH3)(2) or LiNCH2CH2CH2CH2, Li(PYR), results in the corresponding lithium 1,1,3,3-tetraalkylguanidinate, Li(TAG). The subsequent metathesis reaction of Li(TAG) with CuCl generates hexanuclear copper(I) complexes with the general formula [Cu(mu-TAG)](6), where TAG = DEDMG (1) and DEPYRG (2).
