Abstract
Four new thiophosphoryl ligands containing NNPS or CNPS connectivities have been prepared and three of them characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexation of these ligands with salts of CuI, CuII, NiII and ZnII has been studied by electrospray mass spectrometry and uv-visible spectrophotometry in acetonitrile and methanol solution. Evidence for 1:1 and 2:1 complexation is presented. Two copper(I) complexes were isolated including a mixed chloride-bromide copper(I) complex in which a dimeric structure is adopted with a 22-membered metallacycle.
