The title compound [(kappa2-P,P-[PPh(2)NMe}2CO)Cu(I)Cl]2 (4) is readily formed by the reaction between (PPh2NMe)2CO and copper(I) chloride. Compound 4 forms a two-dimensional supramolecular network of Cu2Cl2-centered dimers that are linked by pi-pi interaction between the phenyl substituents on phosphorus in the solid state. Because of the nature of these pi-pi interactions, only one of the three possible enantiomers, the meso form, can be observed in the crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
