A
new Cu(II) complex, [Cu
4Cl
6O(1-TrTz)
4] where 1-TrTz is 1-trityl-1
H-[1,2,4]triazole, was
synthesized by the reaction of 1-trityl-1
H-[1,2,4]triazole with two hydrated
cupric chlorides, and its structure was characterized by X-ray single-crystal
diffraction. [Cu

In the structure of [Cu
4Cl
6O(1-TrTz)
4], the
central O atom is tetrahedral and is coordinated with four Cu atoms. The
distance between copper and oxygen bond is 1.909(6) Å. In addition, the
catalytic property of this complex was investigated and it could effectively catalyze the Ullmann coupling
reaction of various (hetero)aryl
chlorides with azoles.
