Complexes of N-Thiophosphorylthiourea alpha-NaphthylNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) (HL) with Copper(I). Crystal Structures of HL and Cu(PPh3)(2)L

Abstract

Reaction of the potassium salt of N-thiophosphorylated thiourea alpha-naphthylNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) (HL) with Cu(PPh3)(3)I in aqueous EtOH/CH2Cl2 leads to the mononuclear complex [Cu(PPh3)(2)L-S,S']. By using copper(I) iodide instead of Cu(PPh3)(3)I, the polynuclear complex [Cu-n(L-S,S')(n)] was obtained.
