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

Abstract

AbstractCopper(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.
