Equilibrium molecular structure of cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene copper( <scp>i</scp> ) carbazolide with intramolecular agostic and anagostic C–H⋯Cu interactions from gas-phase electron diffraction
The first gas-phase electron diffraction structure of a "carbene-metal-amide" (CMA) complex has been characterised. Strong agostic and weak anagostic C-H⋯Cu intramolecular interactions have been revealed and correlated with significant bending of the geometry around the copper atom, corroborated by photoluminescence in the gas phase.
