Chlorobis[diphenyl(p-tolyl)phosphine]copper(I)

G. Steyl

Abstract: The title compound, [CuCl(C₁₉H₁₇P)₂], is an example of an asymmetric bisphosphine complex of copper(I). It crystallizes with a distorted trigonal-planar geometry about the copper(I) metal centre. The diphenyl(p-tolyl)phosphine groups adopt an eclipsed configuration in the solid state. The most important bond distances and angles include Cu-Cl = 2.2330 (12) Å, Cu-P = 2.2570 (13) Å, Cu-P (trans to Cl) = 2.2579 (12) Å and P-Cu-P = 126.72 (5)°.
