Abstract

Treatment of tetracopper(I)-phosphonitocavitand [1·Cu4(μ-Cl)4(μ4-Cl)] (2) (1 = tetraphosphonitocavitand [rccc-2,8,14,20-tetrakis-(iso-butyl)-phosphonitocavitand (C44H48O8P4Ph4)]) with PhSeSiMe3 in THF at low temperature afforded a novel polyanionic cluster [pyH]6[(CuCl)9(μ3-SePh)5(μ4-SePh)] (4) as a major product along with a new tetracopper(I)-phosphonitocavitand (3) with a centered μ3-Cl. Molecular structure of anionic cluster in 4 consists of six PhSe− bridging ligands containing five μ3-SePh and one exceptional μ4-SePh bridging nine copper atoms, of which eight copper atoms have trigonal coordination geometry and the other has distorted tetrahedral geometry.
