Copper(III) Trifluoromethyl Tris(pyrazolyl)borates

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize and characterize new copper(III) scorpionate complexes.
• Synthesis of TpCu(CF3)2 and Tp*Cu(CF3)2 via ligand exchange reactions
• Use of acetylacetonate complex for synthesis
• Characterization of the complexes through structural analysis
• Successful synthesis of high-valent copper(III) complexes
• Full characterization confirmed their structure and expected oxidation state
• Demonstration of effective ligand exchange in forming copper(III) complexes
