In order to explore the chemistry of Cu(I) precursor compounds the reactions of (I) and (III) with the nitrosonium ion are studied.
ChemInform Abstract
In order to explore the chemistry of Cu(I) precursor compounds the reactions of (I) and (III) with the nitrosonium ion are studied. While NO+ reacts toward (I) and a similar dimeric Cu complex of (Pyl-CH2-CH2-)2N-(CH2)4-N(-CH2-CH2-Pyl)2 (Pyl: -2-pyridyl) as a simple one-electron oxidant, it reacts with (III) by oxidative addition to give (V), the first structurally determined example of a copper-nitrosyl complex (P2/n, Z=2). Some aspects of the importance of (V) as a model in biological processes are discussed.
