Popis: The synthesis of enantiomerically pure pyridine-bridged phosphaalkene-oxazolines ArP═C(Ph)(2,6-C5H3NOx) (1, Ar = Mes/Mes*, Ox = CNOCH(i-Pr)CH2/CNOCH(CH2Ph)CH2) is reported. This new ligand forms a κ(P), κ(2)(NN) dimeric complex with copper(I) (7) that dissociates into a cationic κ(3)(PNN) monomeric complex upon addition of a neutral ligand {[1a·CuL]OTf (8a-e): L = PPh3 (a), P(OPh)3 (b), 2,6-lutidine (c), 4-DMAP (d), 1-methylimidazole (e)}. The P-Cu bond lengths in 8 are influenced by the π-accepting/σ-donating properties of L, and this can be observed by changes in the δ(31)PP═C NMR shift. The donor-acceptor properties in complexes of type 8 have also been investigated by UV/vis spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
