Abstract
The complexes [Cu(kappa(2)-Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)(o-OMe))(2)(CH(3)CN)](BF(4)) (1) and [CuCl(Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)(o-OMe))(2)] (2) have been prepared by treating [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)](BF(4)) or CuCl with two equivalents o-(diphenylphosphino)anisole (Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)(o-OMe)) at room temperature, respectively. The reaction of 1 and (PPN)(NO(2)) in acetonitrile solution affords a neutral compound [Cu(Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)(o-OMe))(2)(ONO)] (3). In contrast to the synthesis of 3, mixing NaNO(2) and 1 in MeOH yielded a unique dicopper(I) cationic species, [((Ph(2)PC(6)H(4)(o-OMe))(2)Cu)(2)(mu-NO(2))](+) (4) after ether/CH(2)Cl(2) crystallization. The molecular structures of 1-4 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The copper(I)-nitrito adduct 3 containing phosphine-ether ligands forms nitric oxide gas from the reaction with acetic acid, suggesting the first example and model compound in the asymmetric O-bound copper(I) nitrite intermediate microenvironment of copper nitrite reductases (Cu-NIRs).
