Metal–arene interactions in dialkylbiarylphosphane complexes of copper, silver, and gold

Dialkylbiphenylphosphane-AuI complexes exhibit only weak metal-arene interactions with the covering arene ring. However, the contacts in isoleptic AgI and CuI complexes are shorter than the limiting values of 3.03 Å (AgI) and 2.83 Å (CuI). Strong metal-arene interactions were also found in the two AgI aquo complexes and in two acetonitrile—CuI complexes with dialkylbiphenylphosphane ligands. Arene-AgI complexes with these bulky phosphane ligands show the strongest AgI—arene bonds known.
