Abstract

Two (cAAC)2Cu complexes, featuring a two-coordinate copper atom in the formal oxidation state zero, were prepared by reducing (Et2-cAAC)2Cu(+)I(-) with metallic sodium in THF, and by a one-pot synthesis using Me2-cAAC, Cu(II)Cl2, and KC8 in toluene in a molar ratio of 2:1:2, respectively. Both compl...
