Tetrakis(triphenylarsine)copper(I) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C18H15As)(4)]PF6, the Cu atom is coordinated by four As atoms of triphenylarsine ligands in a tetrahedral geometry. The complex cation is located on a crystallographic threefold axis. Both PF6- anions are located on special positions of site symmetry (3) over bar. The Cu-As bond of the independent arsine ligand is shorter than the Cu-As bonds of the three symmetry-related arsine ligands.
