Tetrakis(triphenylarsine)copper(I) hexafluoridophosphate

T. Kern, G. Knör, M. Zabel and U. Monkowius

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₁₈H₁₅As)₄]PF₆, the Cu atom is coordinated by four As atoms of triphenylarsine ligands in a tetrahedral geometry. The complex cation is located on a crystallographic threefold axis. Both PF₆^- anions are located on special positions of site symmetry $\\overline{3}$ . The Cu-As bond of the independent arsine ligand is shorter than the Cu-As bonds of the three symmetry-related arsine ligands.
