Abstract

Treatment of copper iodide with 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene in 1:1 equivalent ratio afforded centrosymmetric dimer product of composition [{Cu(µ-I)(dppf)}2] (1a). However, similar reactions of 1,1′-bis(diphenylchalcogenophosphoryl)ferrocene (dppfE2) (E = S, Se) with [Cu(CH3CN)4]+ in 1:2 equivalents yielded [{Cu(dppfS2)}n]+ (1b) and [{Cu2(dppfSe2)3}n]2+ (1c) compounds, respectively. These reported compounds have synthesized with slight modifications. All the mentioned complexes were characterized by Uv–Vis, IR, 1H, 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy and Mass spectrometry. The molecular structure of complex [{Cu(µ-I)(dppf)}2] was established through single crystal X-ray analysis, which suggests distorted tetrahedral geometry around the copper metal center. All the synthesized complexes were studied as a catalyst for synthesis of benzofuran derivatives under an environmentally friendly approach.
