(Nitrato-κO)tris[tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphane-κP]copper(I)

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 100 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.035; wR factor = 0.085; data-to-parameter ratio = 18.4.In the title complex, [Cu(NO 3 )(C 18 H 12 F 3 P) 3 ], the ligating atoms define a distorted tetrahedon with the three tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphane ligands in the basal positions and the nitrate ligand in the axial position. The intramolecularinteraction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6113 (11) Å ] between two of the 4-fluorophenyl groups is complemented by both C-HÁ Á ÁF and C-HÁ Á ÁO interactions with distances in the range 2.51-2.60 Å , resulting in a tight head-to-tail packing.
