Bis{N,N-bis[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]aniline-κ2P,P′}copper(I) tetrafluoridoborate

Abstract

In the cation of the title compound, [Cu(C32H29NP2)2]BF4, the CuI atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by four P atoms from two N,N-bis[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]aniline ligands. In the crystal, the cations are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming chains along the a axis. Intramolecular C—H...N and intermolecular C—H...F hydrogen bonds are also observed.
