7611 Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 7611–7614 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim there are still only a few examples of structurally characterized CuIII complexes,[3] most of which have a square-planar structure. The CuIII state is stabilized by strong coordinating ligands, and its complexes have been isolated as carboxylates,[4] thiolates,[5] deprotonated amides,[6] carbamates,[7] and N-confused porphyrins.[8] The CuÀC (sp2) bonds in the N-confused porphyrins are stabilized by the π-delocalization effect in the porphyrin ring aided by protonation–deprotonation of the peripheral nitrogen atoms.[8] Nonplanar CuIII complexes are rare, and only a few structures have been reported,[3] namely square-pyramidal[Cu (PhCO2) 2-(pyridine) 2Cl][9] and an octahedral moiety in a CoIIICuIIICoIII heterometallic cluster bridged by 1, 4, 7-tris (4-tert-butyl-2-sulfidobenzyl)-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane.[10] Herein, we report the synthesis and electronic properties of a CuIII complex with a trigonal-bipyramidal (tbp) structure. This is the first report of a tbp CuIII complex that has been structurally and spectroscopically well defined. We also report the diamagnetic–paramagnetic conversion of the CuIII complex which accompanies a change from a trigonalbipyramidal to an octahedral structure. We have reported the complexes [CuII (tptm) X](tptm= tris (2-pyridylthio) methanide; X= F, Cl, Br, I), which have a novel CuIIÀC (sp3) bond and a tbp structure.[11] These complexes show a highly reversible one-electron oxidation process at around+ 0.1 V versus the redox potential of ferrocenium/ferrocene, Eo’(Fc+/Fc), in CH2Cl2.[11a] These electrochemical results suggested that the one-electron-oxidized complexes retain their tbp structures in the CuIII state, as predicted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.[11a] The oxidation of [CuII (tptm) Cl](1) with one equivalent of [CeIV (NH4) 2 (NO3) 6] in the presence of KPF6 produces the stable complex [CuIII (tptm) Cl] PF6(2-PF6), which was crystallized from CH2Cl2/cyclohexane. The crystal structure of this complex is shown in Figure 1. The asymmetric unit of 2-PF6 contains an independent complex cation. There are four independent complex molecules in the asymmetric unit of the crystal of 1. These have a similar structure, with only small deviations of the bond parameters due to the crystal packing (See Supporting Information for selected bond lengths and angles).[12] Both complexes 1 and 2 have a tbp geometry with relatively little distortion. The CuÀ Cl bond lengths in 2 are 0.05–0.06 shorter than those in 1. The CuÀN bond lengths also shrink, from 2.074 (7)–2.142 (7) in 1 to 2.028 (3)–2.074 (3) in 2, upon oxidation. Although the CuÀC bond lengths in 1 and 2 are identical within the experimental error (2.005 (9)–2.020 (7) and 2.038 (4) respectively), complex 2 has shorter CuÀCl and CuÀN bonds than those in 1 owing to the smaller ionic radius of the copper ion in 2. These results suggest that complex 2 contains a copper (III) ion rather than an oxidized ligand moiety. The experimental bond lengths around the Cu atom could be reproduced by DFT calculations.[13] The electronic spectrum of 1 in CH2Cl2 has two absorption maxima at 385 and 529nm (ε= 1.98 103 and 1.46 103 mÀ1 cmÀ1), while the spectrum of 2 has three maxima at 351, 463, and 550nm (ε= 2.52 103, 4.37 103, and 5.24 103 mÀ1 cmÀ1; Figure 2). The molar absorption coefficients of 2 are larger than those of 1 in this region because of the presence of the vacant dz2 orbital of the CuIII atom, which accepts charge from the ligands. This result also suggests that complex 2 contains CuIII (see Supporting Information).[14]
