First hexanuclear copper(ii) pyrophosphate through hydrolysis of phosphodiester with a dicopper complex†
Abstract
Facile hydrolysis of a phosphodiester promoted by a dicopper bis(μ-hydroxo) complex containing a new biphenyl appended N-bidentate ligand led to the isolation of the first example of hexameric copper pyrophosphate through ‘in situ self assembly’.
