Diiodido-bis{<i>N</i>-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]benzylamine-κ²<i>N</i>,<i>P</i>}dicopper(I)

Abstract

The one-pot template reaction between 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde, benzylamine and copper(I) iodide yields the dinuclear copper complex (P∩N)2Cu2I2, as revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
