Abstract

Mohammad Hakimi

In this work, a mixed-ligand copper complex, [Cu₂(PPh₃)₄(µ-N₃)₂] (1), was prepared and identified by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-IR, Raman, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-Ray diffraction. The copper atom in 1 which is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of the two azide groups and two phosphorus atoms of the two triphenylphosphine groups has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. If the distortion in 1 is disregarded, with a C2 axis and two perpendicular C₂ axes to C₂ axis it has D₂ symmetry. The C–H···N and C–H···C hydrogen bonds and p®p stacking are stabilized the crystal network of1.
