Synthesis, characterization, and tautomerism of four novel copper(I) complexes from 3-hydroxy-3-(p-R-phenyl)-2-propenedithioic acids
The paper describes the synthesis and structural characterization of four novel copper(1) complexes [CuL(PPh3)2] (L = 3-hydroxy-3-(p-R-phenyl)-2-propenedithioate). In addition, a tautomeric equilibrium in solution was found and Hammett correlations with C-13 NMR parameters were studied. The structure of one complex was fully established by X-ray diffraction analysis.
