Abstract

The mechanism of photochemical transformations of copper(II) heptafluorobutyrate in methanol is studied. The structure of products and intermediate compounds is investigated. Photolysis occurs as a two- step process. The first step involves changes in the coordination sphere of the Cu(II) ion. The second step is photoreduction of Cu(II) forming metallic copper and Cu(II) fluoride as a complex with methanol. In the presence of oxygen, the first step is reversible. A scheme of these processes is suggested.
