Reactions of Triazacyclohexanes with CuCl₂: Surprising Formation of a Dimer between Two [CuCl₂]⁻ Ions with an Unsupported Cuprophilic Attraction

Abstract

Cuprophilic interactions are observed between the two copper centers of the unprecedented dimer 2, the structure of which contains two associated [CuICl2]− ions. The surrounding complex is derived from the internal reduction of the CuII complex 1, which displays a cis-divacant octahedral coordination geometry.
