Abstract

The 'lower order' lithium cyanocuprates [Li(thf)₂NCCu{C(SiMe₃)₃}]₂ (1d), [Li(thf)₂NCCu{C(SiMe₃)₂-(SiMe₂ NMe₂)}]₂ (1e) and [Li(thf)NCCu{C(SiMe₃)(SiMe₂OMe)₂}] ₂ (3) have been obtained from the reactions between copper(I) cyanide and the corresponding organolithium compounds. The compounds1d and1e have molecular structures containing four-membered Li₂N₂ rings but in 3 the lithium is coordinated by the methoxy groups of the ligand and almost linear LiNCCuC sequences are incorporated into fourteen-membered rings. Attempts to make 'higher order' cyanocuprates containing tri(organosilyl)methyl groups were unsuccessful and no reactions were observed when the cyanocuprate1d was treated with alkyl halides or enones.
