A variety of coinage-metal complexes containing perfluorinated carboxylate ligands, together with their structures and thermal behavior, are reported. The silver(I) salts were accessible from the direct reaction of Ag2O with the acids in toluene. Their gold(I) phosphine counterparts formed in high yields by transmetallation using the silver(I) salts. Some structurally unique, mixed-metal (Au,Ag) complexes formed upon combining solutions of the silver(I) salts with the gold(I) phosphine carboxylates. The reduction of dinuclear copper(II) compounds containing perfluorinated carboxylates with triphenylphosphine resulted in the formation of the corresponding copper(I) tris(phosphine) complexes. X-ray structures of representative complexes, together with IR- and TGA data, are reported.
