Abstract

Abstract The title complex, [Cu(acac)(tmen)]BPh4, is a color indicator for solvent basicity which serves better than the corresponding perchlorate in very weak donor solvents owing to its reluctance in ion-pair formation. The complex cation [Cu(acac)(tmen)]+ decomposes in very strong donor solvents, but these indicators may still be used in them with some care.
