It has been possible to synthesize a family of copper complexes in the rare + III oxidation state by employing strongly donating polyanionic chelating (PAC) ligands containng organic N-amido and oxido donors. The X-ray crystal structure of one example, [PPh4][Cu(.pi.4-4)] .cntdot. 2H2O (H44 = 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamido)benzene), is reported. The metal center is found in a square-planar environment with normal bond distances and angles for the copper(III) formulation. Copper(III/II) couples are highly sensitive to ligand environments. This property is exploited to assess the relative donor properties of a series of PAC ligands that contain aromatic groups is considered, and an approach for determining the best formal oxidation state assignments for the metal centers in potentially ambiguous cases is introduced. The trend in formal potentials as the aromatic groups of the PAC ligands are replaced by aliphatic groups indicates that oxidation of each copper(II) complex is metal-centered. The formal potentials of the copper(III/II) couples vary over a range of more than 1.1 V (-1.08 to +0.14 V vs. Fc+/Fc). Alkoxide ligands are much stronger donors than phenoxide ligands. The copper(III) complexes of the more donating PAC ligands are considerably more stabilized (more negative formal potentials for copper(III/II) couples) than has been observed hitherto for complexes with first-row donor complements.
