Abstract
The versatile coordination behavior of the PNP ligands 1A (2,6-
bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]pyridine) and 1B (2,6-bis[(diphenylphosphino)
methyl]pyridine) to CuI is described, whereby a
hemilabile interaction of the pyridine N-donor atom to the copper
center resulted in a rare T-shaped complex with 1A, while with
1B also a tetracoordinated species could be isolated. Theoretical
calculations support the weak interaction of the pyridine N donor
in 1A with the Cu center.
