  1. Treatment of the CuIprecursor [Cu(NCMe)4]PF6with excess (10 equivalents) of relatively bulky xylyl isocyanide formed a tetra(isocyanide) complex, namely, tetrakis(2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide)copper(I) hexafluorophosphate, [Cu(C9H9N)4]PF6or [Cu(CNXyl)4]PF6, in good yield. This is in contrast to the previously reported reactions of CuIprecursors with approximately three equivalents of xylyl isocyanide, which led selectively to the formation of tris(isocyanide) complexes. The copper atom lies on a twofold axis and P atom on an inversion centre. The complex was characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR spectroscopy, and1H/13C {1H} NMR spectroscopy. In the crystal structure, each individual [Cu(CNXyl)4]+molecule demonstrates two pairs of coplanar xylyl isocyanide ligands. This arrangement leads to intermolecular π-stacking interactions between nearby complex molecules.

  2. [MoVIO3(Lcat)]2−forms a Cu(i)-supported dimeric structure that spontaneously disproportionates into [MoVIO2(Lcat)2]2−and molybdate. This suggests a similar transformation of [{MoO3(MPT)}2]4−into [MoO2(MPT)2]2−by MobA is feasible.
