Abstract

The new tricopper(II) complex [Cu3(μ3-BO)(H3L)3][BF4]·2H2O (1) with an unprecedented diamondoid-like [Cu3B(μ-O)6] core has been easily generated by self-assembly in an aqueous medium from Cu(NO3)2, NaBF4, NaOH and Bis-Tris (H5L) biobuffer, (HOCH2)3CN(CH2CH2OH)2. Compound 1 efficiently promotes the mild single-pot hydrocarboxylation, by CO and H2O, of various linear and cyclic Cn (n = 2–8) alkanes into the corresponding Cn+1 carboxylic acids.
