Abstract
Treatment of a CuSO4 · 5H2O solution with NH2OH · HCl and NaOH produces orange–yellow Cu2O, which on being reacted with Ph3P and aqueous HF (48%) in MeOH or EtOH yields CuF(PPh3)3 · 2ROH (R = Me or Et) in high yield. The volatile compounds have been characterised by spectroscopic techniques in addition to chemical analyses and solution electrical conductance measurements. Typically, CuF(PPh3)3 · 2MeOH appears to be stable up to 118 °C and loses 2 MeOH and 3 PPh3 between 118 and 274 °C yielding volatile ‘CuF’ at 274 °C.
