Access to Well-Defined Dimeric Formally Copper(III) Pyrazolates and XPS Characterization of Dicopper(III) Trifluoromethyl Complexes

Abstract Treatment of the copper(III) heterocubane [Cu(CF3)2(OH)]4 with pyrazoles under mild conditions resulted in the formation of dimeric copper(III) pyrazolates (F3C)2Cu(μ2-Pz)2Cu(CF3)2·3MeCN and (F3C)2Cu(μ2-Pz)2Cu(CF3)2·H2O. The structures of these complexes and their substi...
