Abstract

Chloride and iodide salts of bis{bis(trimethylphosphine)tetrahydrodiboron-H1,H2}copper(I), [Cu{B2H4•2P(CH3)3}2]X (X = Cl, I), were prepared by the reactions of B2H4•2P(CH3)3 with the copper(I) halides. X-ray crystal structure analysis of the iodide shows that each ligand is coordinated to the copper atom through two vicinal hydrogen atoms and the copper atom is ligated with four hydrogen atoms tetrahedrally. Crystal data: monoclinic with the space group I2/a, a = 13.003 (1) Å, b = 16.257 (2) Å, c = 12.974 (3) Å,β = 92.63 (1)°, V = 2739.7 (8) Å3, Z = 4, and R(F0) = 0.057 for 1676 reflections with |f0| > 3σ(F0).
