“…Likewise, a few compounds with an acetonyl triphenylphosphonium or 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium cation have also been reported (Diop et al, 2013(Diop et al, , 2015Zhang et al, 2007). To expand on the available data on both the [CuCl 4 ] 2À anion as well as that on acetonyltriphenylphosphonium and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium cations, we have initiated in this work the study of the interactions between CuCl 2 Á2H 2 O, acetonyl triphenylphosphonium chloride and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, expecting the presence of both cations in the resulting compound.…”
