Dichloro-μ2,μ2-naphthalene-1,8-diyl-bis(N,N,N’,N’-tetrameth- 2 ylethylenediamino)tetracopper(I)
Abstract
A highly reactive dicuprate/CuCl aggregate, Nap(Cu4Cl2)(TMEDA)2 (2, Nap = naphthalene-1,8-diyl, TMEDA = tetramethylethylenediamine), was synthesized by the reaction of 1,8-dilithionaphthalene(TMEDA)2 with four equivalents of CuCl. The X-ray crystal structure of this complex shows that the four copper atoms form a bent parallelogram-shaped core, with terminally bonded chlorine atoms. The naphthalene ring is bonded through carbons in the 1 and 8 positions (peri-positions), each bridging two copper atoms.
