Crystal Structure of (1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazol-5-onate)-bis(triphenylphosphine)copper(II) Tetrafluoroborate Dichloromethane Solvate, [Cu(PMBP)(PPh3)2]BF4 CH2Cl2

Abstract

The crystal structure of [Cu(PMBP)(PPh3)2]BF4·CH2Cl2 (PMBP = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolon-5-ato) was determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallized in the triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 9.6864(6), b = 13.6845(9), c = 20.0329(13)A, α = 102.119(1), β = 94.865(1), γ = 105.120(1)°, Z = 2, V = 2478.8(3)A3, and R = 0.0498. The Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two O donor atoms from PMBP and two P atoms from triphenylphosphine molecules to form a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
