Abstract

The interaction of the onium salts [Me2 \(\mathop S\limits^ + \)Et=O]BF4 , [Me2 \(\mathop N\limits^ + \)=CH-OEt]BF4 , and [Me3 \(\mathop S\limits^ + \)=O]I with metallic copper in DMSO, DMF, and acetonitrile (AN) has been investigated. It has been shown that the reaction takes place with an intermediate step involving the formation of Cu(I) compounds. The complexes [CuI(AN)4]BF4, [CuII(DMSO)5](BF4)2, [CuII(DMSO)4(AN)2](BF4)2, [CuII(DMSO)2(DMF)(AN)](BF4)2, and [ME3 \(\mathop S\limits^ + \)]3CuII4 · [Me3 \(\mathop S\limits^ + \)=O]I have been isolated and characterized. It has been established that dipolar onium compounds which simulate the intermediate products of the interaction of the components of donor-acceptor electron-transport systems are responsible for the oxidation of metals in organic complex-forming media.
