Abstract

On continuing the investigation with the reaction between aminophosphines and Cu(I) halides, the reaction of aminophosphine, viz (Diisopropylamino)(morpholino)(phenyl)phosphine with CuX (X = Br, I) was studied in acetonitrile solvent. Dimeric bromo and iodo Cu(I) complexes were obtained at room temperature. In bromo and iodo complexes, copper(I) was found to be tri-coordinate and tetra-coordinate, respectively. In iodo complex solvent, acetonitrile coordinates to copper through nitrogen atom. The Cu–P bond distances in bromo complex was ∼2.19 Å. Cu–P bond distance for iodo complex was slightly longer, 2.249(4) Å. 31P NMR coordination chemical shifts of the complexes were negative.
