“…Structures of cyanamide copper(II) complexes were previously represented by the clusters Cu4Cl6O(NCNR2)4 (R = Me, allyl)[22,27,30], and the solvates Cu4X6O(NCNMe2)4•4(arene) (X = Cl, Br; arene = PhMe, PhCH=CH2)[22], and no single example of mononuclear (NCNR2)Cu II was known. For copper(I), there are several known structures of mononuclear complexes [Cu(NCNR2)4](BF4)[20], [Cu(tpm)(NCNR2)](BF4) (tpm = tris-(1,3-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane)[21], and [Cu(NCNMe2)2(DPEphos)](BF4)(DPEphos = bis[2 -diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-ether) [31], dinulear [Cu2(μ2-Cl)2(dppm)2(NCNMe2)]•2NCNMe2, [Cu2(μ2-Cl)(dppm)2(NCNMe2)](Cl), [Cu2(μ2-X)(dppm)2(NCNMe2)2](X) (X = ClO4, NO3), [Cu2(dppm)2(NCNMe2)3](BF4)2[32], and polymeric [CuX(NCNAllyl2)] (X = Cl, Br, NO3) species[33].On the other hand, these complexes represent examples of the (N-sac)2Cu II -type complexes. Metal complexes of saccharin(ate) exhibit versatile coordination chemistry due to the existence of different coordination sites[34].…”
