Well-Defined Highly-Coordinated Copper(III) Iodide and Pincer Tris(trifluoromethyl)copper Complexes.

ABSTRACT

Copper(III) iodide and bromide complexes representing a unique combination of highly-coordinated metal and soft polarizable anions were synthesized and fully characterized, including X-ray crystallography. Ligand substitution in well-defined highly-coordinated copper complex PyCu(CF3)3 with pincer ligands was achieved to give formally octahedral copper(III) complexes.
