Abstract

The formation, spectra, and properties of a series of (η⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)copper compounds have been investigated. Reactions between lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide and [C1Cu(R₃P)]₄ (R = C₆H₅, C₂H₅) produced [η₅C₅(CH₃)₅](PR₃)Cu in yields of 43% and 78%, respectively. A reaction between lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide and copper(I) chloride in ethyl ether solution in the presence of carbon monoxide led to [η⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅](CO)Cu. This carbonyl derivative was both air- and temperature-sensitive and decomposed in solution over 0 ºC to afford copper metal, carbon monoxide, and decamethyl-1,1′-dihydrofulvalene. A reaction between copper(I) chloride and bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene produced [η²-(CH₃)₃SiC==CSi(CH₃)₃]₂Cu₂Cl₂ in 76% yield. Treatment of the latter dimer with lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide in ethyl ether solution afforded [η⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅][η²-(CH₃)₃SiC=CS í(CH₃)₃]Cu. The parent compound (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η²-(CH₃)₃SiC=CSi(CH₃)₃]Cu was also obtained starting with lithium cyclopentadienide. Both products were air- and temperature-sensitive but could be readily converted into the respective triphenylphosphine derivatives. The complexes [η⁵-C₅-(CH₃)₅][η²-(CH₃)₃SiC=CS í(CH₃)₃]Cu and (η²-C₅H₅)[η²-(CH₃)₃SiC=CSi(CH₃)₃]Cu represent the first “mixed-sandwich compounds of copper, as predicted by the effective atomic number (EAN) rule.
