The thermal decomposition of a series of phenoxo complexes of copper (II), in solution, containing either trichlorophenoxo or tribromophenoxo ligands and a variety of neutral ligands, has led to a rather unique method for the synthesis of μ4-oxo-hexa-μ-halotetracopper(II) complexes. The yield of this complex was found to increase considerably with the ability of the solvent to autoxidize, and also with the addition of hydroperoxides.
