Copper(I) complexes of a thioether-functionalized short-bite aminobis(phosphonite), [PhN{P(-OC10H6(μ-S)C10H6O-)}2]

The copper(I) complexes of a thioether-functionalized, short-bite aminobis(phosphonite), PhN{P(-OC10H6(μ-S)C10H6O-)}2 (1) are reported. The copper complexes show strong π-π stacking interactions as well as ligand-supported Cu⋯Cu metallophilic interactions.
