High-nuclearity Cu <sub>14</sub> ionic complex featuring 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and methylsilsesquioxane ligands: highly efficient catalysis of mild peroxidative alkane fuctionalizations
The first metallacomplex containing both 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and silsesquoxane ligands is presented, which adopts an intriguing three-component ionic structure. According to X-ray diffraction studies, the central dianionic Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>12</sub>-methylsilsesquioxane cage is balanced by two external cationic [Cu<sup>I</sup>(dppp)<sub>2</sub>] species, giving a total Cu<sub>14</sub> nuclearity. The cage component of the complex encapsulates hydroxyl, carbonate, and chloride species. The complex was evaluated as a catalyst for the effective oxidation of alkanes to alkyl hydroperoxides and of alcohols to ketones using peroxides.
