Description

The X-ray crystal structure determination of bis[μ-(phenylcyanamido)bis(triphenylphosphine)copper(l)], [Cu(PPh3)2(C6H5NCN)2], (1) is reported. The complex has a centrosymmetric dimeric structure with the phenylcyanamide ligands bridging the copper atoms in a μ-1 ,3-fashion. The structure is compared with that of the 4-methylphenylcyanamido complex, [{Cu(PPh3)2(4-MeC6H4NCN)}2] (2), and the differences observed in the Cu-P bond lengths compared with changes in the solid state 31p cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) spectra of the two complexes.
